About Me

“The moment inbetween what you once were, and who you are now becoming, is where the dance of life really takes place.” ~ Barbara De Angelis "Nothing happens without personal transformation." I decided one day I wanted to change. I wanted more from life. I realized that if you want more, YOU have to make it happen. You have to go to it and create it. The most powerful weapon against a mediocre life is practice. And just like a fire, the human spirit needs to be lit again each day.

Extreme Sky Flyer June 9, 2007

I went to Carowinds today with a buddy of mine named Adam. It was a blast. I haven't been to a theme park since I was like 21 or something! He got these tix from the company he works for. It was awesome that he thought of me and asked me to go. I had so much fun!
Today i decided to bungie free fall and swing! :)
It was the most amazing adrenaline rush I've ever had in my life!!! I had to watch a few people do it first...
Adam's friend said she would do the free fall with me.
I was so nervous! My heart was beating so fast as we were being lifted up in the air. I think I was asking her if she was nervous in this pic...

I actually could not believe I was about to free fall 50 feet at 60 miles an hour and then swing up to 173 feet!

This is us beginning to lift off the ground...I had to close my eyes! LOL

I'm totally afraid of heights.

Getting higher...

And higher...

Nearing the top, I am getting my hand near the cord getting ready to pull. I wasn't sure if I'd even be able to pull the relaese! haha

Ok...this is us at 152 feet in the air! The tower was 152 feet high, and the height of the arch was 173 feet.

The fall:

I don't think I've yelled out so much profanity in my entire life! lol
It was a rush like nothing else! I had to close my eyes during the free fall. Of course during the swing, they were open, and I gave a huge thumbs up and was screaming out, "Hell Yeah", "that f**king rocked", "Whoo-hoo", etc. You get my drift.
And I want to do it again!!!!!!!
I've never done anything like this before in my life! It was great!
This is me as were coming down into the end of the free fall when I finally opened my eyes! lol I have the "Oh Shit" face going on!
