Hey guys; I've taken a stab at everything from skydiving to writing novels to hosting an internet radio show; what's your "big" a-least-semi-realistic thing you want to do but haven't done?

Hey guys; I've taken a stab at everything from skydiving to writing novels to hosting an internet radio show; what's your "big" a-least-semi-realistic thing you want to do but haven't done? i'd <3 to quit my job and play small stakes poker full-time. probably will at some point. i just started playing again recently, took nearly a year off from the game. here is my graph since my return about 7 weeks ago.  i haven't made much playing poker this year but i believe i could make a decent living at this game if i were to do it full-time. so definitely semi-realistic imo. |

If the graph is any indicator, you're in! My dad did online poker for about 5 years before he passed a few years back, and he ended up breaking even--I figure him and I are about the same intelligence level so if he went through 5 years of sweaty palms for nothing, I'm not gonna--I'll just go broker, faster.

It's awesome, John. There is something in your mind, though, that as you stand at the edge of the door at 12.5k feet up and look out (especially when it's almost effin' dark on your first jump; raising hand, here) that says, "Do not do this thing." What surprised me most was that the roller coaster feeling went away after 2 seconds; just felt like a stiff wind and I could not figure out, to save my life, why the fields (the squares) weren't getting bigger. I had a picture in my head of how they should get bigger and they just weren't. My instructors had to slap me on the stomach to get me to snap out of just staring down (supposed to look at horizon). I did that literally for like 15 seconds. By the end of the 60-second freefall, those fields did get bigger, btw. But not scary; just like standing in a hurricane after you're out of the plane. That was my first jump; second jump was rather eventful (yay, backflips!).  |

Thats my problem, after years in the service and faced with some sketchy situations, being HALO and HAHO certified and a master instructor, I had to find something that was hard to do and gave me a challenge, so I took up good ol' martial arts....it's fun, demanding, and they have competitions.
And of course my new found joy of riding the scoot everywhere
