Is the Plane Out of Fuel?

Everyone wants to go skydiving lately. I’ve been asked by several people over the past year and they seem shocked that I say no. Why?
I’m not in the military. I’m not a paratrooper. I’m not going behind enemy lines and the only way in is to jump out of a plane. All of a sudden everyone in my age group wants to do this. Are you all having a pre-midlife crisis? Are you doing it for a rush? For excitement? My life has enough excitement. Every morning when I walk outside my house I wonder if I will find my car sitting on 2 (not even 4) cinder blocks with no wheels – again. When I hear sirens I wonder if I will get pulled over. Then I wonder if I will get shot because supposedly my cell phone resembled an assault rifle. That’s all the rush I need to jump-start my day. In addition, why would I pay money to jump out of a perfectly good plane?

A couple of days ago a friend of mine told me I should go sky diving, then blog about the experience. No sir, I will not. However, I will blog about why I refuse to do  it.

I Almost Lost It

I was performing my usual morning rituals and everything was going smoothly. I was on schedule, I wasn’t tired nor was I hungry. Not something I can say every morning. The weather was predicted to be 90 with very little humidity. A beautiful day ahead I thought. However, there was another plan in store for me.

Made some changes

Besides a few cosmetic changes on the Home page (I’ll let you find them), I added the Blogroll page. Check that out to see what other blogs I follow.

Also, I added quite a few bullets on the About Vic Louis page. So check that out to learn some random fun facts about me. In addition there’s a link to my formspring account. You can go there and ask me anything. It’s anonymous and the question doesn’t appear until I answer it so no worries.

Now it’s time for bed. I know it’s only 10pm – don’t judge me! I’m lacking hours in the sleep department.
