Five Reasons That you Should go out and Skydive
Does it seem insane to you that anybody would ever skydive? That people would intentionally fly way up in the sky and then jump out of an airplane or helicopter or balloon? Does that seem a little wacko?
Some people do it because it's necessary for their jobs; smokejumpers and paratroopers have to jump out of planes, because that is the only way they can get to where they are going.
But what about all those people who do it for fun? Who make a sport out of jumping from very high places, whether it's an airplane or a bridge or a high cliff? Can you imagine even one reason a person would skydive? Well, here are five:
Bragging rights and war stories; after all, if you have a skydive or two under your belt, you get bragging rights whenever people are telling war stories about all the scary things they have done. It's something you can tell your grandchildren to make them proud of their heritage. It gives you a great story to tell when you get together with friends, and as well, you will be able to 'one up' just about everybody in the room.
Also, people who skydive talk about flying. They are fascinated with the science and technology of skydiving that allows you to control your movement through the air. Whether you are part of a skydive team and do free fall formations and tricks, or you prefer to do solo skydives and enjoy the sensation of flying, skydiving is more than just falling through the air. You use your body to move the way you want to, and that's flying.
Some people like to skydive for the thrill, the adrenaline rush. Some people seem to get addicted to it because it is such a powerful rush. There is also then the matter of doing it to experience beauty and freedom. People who skydive speak rapturously of the beauty and the sense of freedom they experience. They speak of floating through the clouds, and seeing over the horizon, and they love feeling free and unfettered.
Even if going to skydive seems crazy to you, it is a perfectly sane thing to do for a lot of people. They have good reasons for enjoying skydiving; reasons that make them want to do it over and over and over again.

What black girls and white girls do!?
Me having friends from different races make me realize one thing. Racism is some serious bs joke! Its all about us having different customs and do things in different ways. For example, I was born and raised in a Haitian household where education, morals, standars, and work ethics are valued. Therefore I often come across being really polite, respecful, and competent. Well, at least that what I thought till I came to America where one's behaviors or manners can be categorized into a racial group aka stereotyping. Accorging to the concepts of stereotype I do not like chicken because it is delicious or because my mom is a good cook but simply because I am Black. And based on the same concept I should have a crazy biotch attitude and snap my fingers after every word I utter. (I should but I DONT) So yea you get the picture! Here is a REDUCED list of things that were said to me (lets say X), and things I thought I should have said back but didnt (lets say Y)...
X. "When I first met I thought you were gonna be a b*tch to me... you know the whole stereotype" (smiley face)
Y. No you are being a b*tch right NOW by saying that
X. "I will make you a list of things that black people don't do" ( serious/happy face)
Y. This is a list of things YOU dont do. If I wanna go for a walk by the beach and stare at the starry sky I as helll should go! it doesnt make me doing something that a White person would do, it just makes me ME simple as that!
X. "Black girls are so dramatic. How come you are not?"
Y. That specific Black girl you are referring to IS dramatic. As a matter of fact women in general are dramatic. On that note White people are rich. How come you not?
X. "Do you even have any black friends?" (serious face)
Y. What kind of question is that? I just have FRIENDS! I am too blind by my friendship and loyalty towards them to even notice if they are Black or White or Yellow or Red!
X. "White people are so boring" (happy face)
Y. Hmm let see! If I may get down at your level, last time I check on my friend she was traveling the world jet skiing, skydiving and partying! Sound like fun to me.
X. "By the way I love Black music!" (happy happy face)
Y. I did not know music has color but good for you. By the way don't try to dance to those "black music" cause you will fail yea sorry its genetic!
All of those things sounded stupid to me and they were said by both Black and White girls. So please STOP it, its kinda ugly and stupid. Love you ALL!!!
