Parabase

Climbed a mountain which is used for paragliding --essentially hanggliding with a parachute instead of a scary little aluminum tube type of deal. Pretty sweet looking over the edge and thinking about jumping. BASE is way dumb. Dumb enough that now I've started to wonder how crazy scared I could get... and rationalizing that sure its more dangerous than pretty much anything else to do out there besides mercenary or librarian at the regan library. Then again, how dangerous is too dangerous. Like getting hurt isn't all that fun and really downright blows like the white whale with a sinus infection and captain ahab bearing down on ya with a harpoon. Anyways kayaking with whales, also dangerous. Now if it was cool like water world in real life then why not hook up a whale to a big harness type thing and get them to pull you all around the oceans, you above water fighting with the kestrels and albatross and flying fish and him down there eating squid and spitting out revolting little jellyfish and stuff. Maybe a big short circuit of that would be even better and just jumping into the belly of the whale right off and being like Jonah would be totally better and stupid/crazy/cool/fun/last-thing-you-do/life-changing/cathartic type of deal.
