Paragliding weekend maddness

2010-05-09T20:30:00.001-07:00

This weekend was full of paragliding activities. I was the driver for 2 INSPO flight days. It was fun, wish I could have been up flying myself, but I am not anywhere close to being able to fly the mountains, so for now I just support the people who can and be their driver. Pick them up if they sink out. It was some good times. I flew the south side Friday morning, which was awesome....this

But we put some police tape up and that stopped all the stupid people from walking into people flying at them on boards.Overall it was a pretty

The entry fee is around 70 dollars itself, then add housing, food and transportation on top of that and it gets quite pricey. So if you feel inclined to help send me to the US OPEN then you can donate here:It is super safe and sends

When friends extremely disappoint, do you want to disappear? When you are all alone, do you want to disappear? When you feel invisible to everyone, do you want to just disappear?

I can go through a whole pack of orbit in a day at work when I am really busy and need to be chewing on gum while focusing on work. I like the way the package is on stride also. It feels like one of those credit card wallets that whip open in multi levels,

This all started Friday night....this stupid sickness. It has included, sore throat, 103 fever, cough, headache, stomach aches, body aches...which leads to unbearable back pain, weezing, stuff sinus, and much more. Basically I feel like my body is dying. I think the most unbearible thing out of this whole ordeal is my back pain. It is so horrid i can not put it into words. I want to crawl into a

You should leave a comment! you don't have to have an account to leave a comment......I went to the Haunted Forest last night. It was actually really good.

too little, too much

2007-10-12T06:57:00.000-07:00

There once was a person, this person had no food for a long time. Sure they had little nibbles here and there and friends gave them food occasionally. Then one day an apple tree came into their life, very soon after an orange tree came, then there was a seed they sort of planted for a pear tree and the pear tree decided to start growing but at an amazingly slow rate. First the person tended to

2 Days

2007-10-06T18:20:00.000-07:00

Until it has been 2 years since breaking my back. How much I have changed in 2 years. Sometimes I think whoa...who is this person I have become? I realized I really like who I have turned into. Yeah sure there are always things to work and improve on. But I look at all the trials I have been in life and how greatful I am I was able to apply them to my life and better myself from them. I have

OCD?

2007-10-04T11:57:00.001-07:00

I have come to the conclusion that I am OCD! I have known for a long time and think about it often but I really decided today that I totally have it. What am I OCD about? counting and tracing. I count lots of things. I count how many stairs I go up and down, I count steps, how many cracks I step on, how many sides are on objects, dotted lines on the road, signs on the side of the road, telephone

bike/lawn mower

2007-10-03T07:59:00.001-07:00

Treehugger.com made these lawn mower bikes. Which when you think about it is a pretty cool idea if you do not want a motorized lawn mower. You won't throw out your back using the human power push ones. My Best friend growing up's dad had one of the mowers your powered and pushed. You can get your bike blinged out and as ghetto or pimpin' as you want! you could get a beach cruizer, mt bike or

October 8th

2007-10-02T13:00:00.000-07:00

October 8th will be the 2 year anniversary of breaking my back. All I have to say is I will be doing something EPIC that day....so if you want to come play, let me know! I may even Mountainboard. I have been worried about mt boarding on the same day as I went off that gap jump, but I think to get over this fear I have this would be a great step! I am going to try and get the footage and watch it!

Fears

2007-09-15T19:10:00.000-07:00

I would like to preface that I am on pain medicine right now.One of my biggest fears above all else is being unwanted or useless in life. I have been feeling a bit like that lately. I feel as though I have nothing to offer others and that others feel that way as well about me. I find such pride in my job, atleast I know for sure I am wanted and am contributing to something. sometimes I wonder

So it happened..as I am explaining to Megean in the photo, I got hit by a car on my beach cruiser the other day. Don't worry though, she is ok. She needs a new fender, but other than that she is doing well. Then there is me, dislocated shoulder, a few bruises...just like a walk in the park. The lady paid for everything and gave me soem money for a new bike. So I think I am ok. I am off the crazy

Then my other car my saturn, well that only has 3 working pistons out of 4. It needs some work also to be able to pass safety and

I had a great weekend with My Aunt, Uncle, Cousins, Siblings, Mom and Gramma.Our weekend started thursday night we took off from Logan to the Oregon Coast. It was a very long and uncomfortable drive.

Happiness

2007-08-10T22:09:00.000-07:00

I just watched the movie "the Pursuit of Happyness"Amazing movie. If you have not seen it I highly, highly recommend it. It really puts life back into perspective. Amazing how in life we need reminders, things to humble us, things to make us realize things are not so bad. To look and realize that someone has it far worse and they are still pushing forward to get to that state of happiness.So I

Me and colleen then were shown the "tour Bus" which is this truck

The time has come in the year for the US OPEN. I am nervous, scared and excited I guess. I know I won't win. But I hope I just don't look like a crippled fool. I know a lot of people look up to me and what I have gone through. This is going to be just such a huge milestone to be able to compete in the US Open this year. Being banned last year because I was not even a full year off back surgery
