I went skydiving yesterday for the first time. It was totally freakin’ sweet. I can’t really describe the feeling of falling through the air at 120 mph, but it’s certainly not a falling sensation. It feels kind of like sticking your hand out the window of your car when you’re driving down the interstate, except over your entire body…and going twice as fast. It was kinda weird too because I wasn’t nervous when I was about to jump out of the plane, and I figured I would be — at least a little bit. I said in the video I hoped to have the crap scared out of me, but that didn’t happen. I never really get scared by much of anything; I like that scared feeling so I was hoping to get that, but alas, I did not. It was just totally awesome!
Clear here to see my video. I’ll post the pictures when I get them developed.
We saw Charlie and the Chocolate factory this weekend as well. It was excellent. I have to say, Johnny Depp is probably one of the best actors around. He’s completely different in almost every role he plays. It’s amazing how he can be Edward Scissorhands, Ichabod Crane, Jack Sparrow, J.M. Barrie, and Willy Wonka and never even seem like the same dude. Crazy.
And lastly we saw The Island too. In my opinion it was a decent action movie and a decent thought-provoking movie. It was just fun to watch for it’s entertainment value. So not amazing, but it was pretty good. My only complaint was that it was a little too long. It’s a little over 2 hours and I don’t think it needed to be.
