Ok, so, I will be a proud member of the Nationwide family in their claims department starting January 8th. A lot more money and something totally new in my life all add up to goodness. What will happen before then? I will attempt to not lose my sanity while working two jobs and taking a week to go play down in FL at the Cross Keys Invasion from ( Read more... )

417 jumps logged, on my way toward getting instructor ratings, buying a new parachute today, selling my old one as soon as possible. Life currently consists of working, watching movies, skydiving and rearranging my room right now. Simple, yet effective.

So, Tuesday the 27th, I had to open my store. Routine day, everything just went as usual. However, I needed to break out right at 5pm in order to make it onto my flight that left at 6:55pm. Luckily, my job is only about a 20 minute drive from the airport. So, I got changed and started to speed out of work... late. The lot that I was going to park ( Read more... )

I just saw the film Haute Tension. It is a French horror flick. Real nice fountains of blood, neat twist and a really cute lesbian female lead. Fun times, indeed ( Read more... )

Chris and I went to the Path of Resistance show in Syracuse last night. Aside from the bullshit about the security guard that some jackasses ambushed, it was fun as shit. Good dancers, good bands, lots of straight edge kids. It is funny to see how sxe still means something and still exists outside of the Philly area. S'all good, it is all for ( Read more... )
