In The Ends

"We only want to be free. And as funny as it sounds it's all we want. To not have our egos bound with the rays of suns. Because man should be free as falling rain. To find what he loves even if it's pain" - The Growlers

See you in hell, Johnny!

Well, it finally went down. Literally.

Soham and I jumped out of an airplane above Lake Elsinore, CA, one of the largest skydiving training facilities in the world. Soham had an Australian dude strapped to his back, and I had a Brazilian guy strapped to mine. They kept making jokes about Brokeback Mountain. Not what you need at 12,000 feet.

Intense experience, very surreal, the first two seconds are best.

Two other bizarre parts to the experience were the random beard on the guy in the video that explained how we are giving up our rights when we skydive (do Amish people skydive?), and also the fact that not only do you have to essentially sign your life away, but they make you read the statement out loud and sign while they videotape you.
