Paintball is Painfully Dangerous


I took this picture from a stretcher. Paintball hurts a lot. Make sure you wear a cup or two over your twig & berries because a direct hit in your mid-section will render you soprano.

graduation in early may. I ain´t the only one who makes funny faces.


here´s the group of students i went with. we waited for almost 3 hours before we suited up but most seemed to forget the waiting after they fell from the plane.


you can almost see my brain my nostrils are so big. I was at about 3000´when this pic was snapped. good time, but catch a 6´ anywhere and you will feel better. people often ask "is skydiving better than sex?" My repy is, "It's better than bad sex." and we all know what that is like.

third time jumping out a plane


the canopy lackeys made sure they made sweet sweet love to the canopies before each use. I landed with no problems save a wicked headache.
