First Skydive!!

(There is no audio currently because of the song being played in the background (Disturbed -- Down with the Sickness). Youtube removed it since the song is copyrighted. I will fix that soon)

Sunday, May 31st 2009 -- Acampo (Lodi), CA ~~ This is my very first skydive (only skydive so far). It was a tandem jump with an instructor at the skydive place. All I can say is this was an amazing experience. The first 10-15 seconds was almost overwhelming, but once my body got over the initial shock of jumping out of the plane it was just a mind blowing moment.

The flight up to 13,000 feet took about 10 minutes. My tandem partner and I were first ones on the plane and last out since we had a camera guy with us. There is no time to think about what’s about to happen as you shuffle towards the door. Then you JUMP!!!! It takes a few to catch your breath. We free fell for about 60 seconds moving at about 124MPH!! Once the chute is deployed it’s a quiet drift down back to Earth. The only noise you hear is the rustling of the canopy overhead. The landing was very smooth and I had a great instructor and a wild camera guy!!

Words can’t describe… and as much as I knew it was going to be an extreme experience, it was 1000 times more than I could have ever expected. Will I do it again… definitely!!

Katy Perry -- I Kissed A Girl (official video)

Okay, I’m not exactly sure why I like this song so much. Maybe it’s because I’m a guy or maybe the catchy hook got me. Either way, with much shame, I’ve decided to post this video. The first time I heard this song was while listening to an alternative rock station on my cell phone, KWOD 106, while I was building the latest redesign of my site. I would say to enjoy the video, but you probably won’t

There’s not much I can say about this one, you’ll just have to watch it. Another cool video.

Stone Sour -- Through Glass (official video)

theBlaine — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 06:29:54 +0000

This is another band I’m into right now. The lead singer of Stone Sour is also the lead singer for Slipknot. It’s quite a contrast bewteen the two styles of music, but when you listen closely you can hear the same voice. I’ve always liked this song. I saw it for the first time about a week ago. The video is pretty cool!

I just recently heard Shinedown’s new CD and it’s fantastic! This is a video from Track 1 off the new release.

RC Helicopter Testflight

theBlaine — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 06:23:57 +0000

This video is of me doing a test flight on one of my remote helicopters. It’s indoors in the front living room. I don’t remember what I was fixing on it. More than likely replacing one or more of the plastic blades from bouncing it off of something.

Filling up a hole with dirt

theBlaine — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 06:18:46 +0000

This is a video I took of me filling up a hole with dirt. The hole was there when plumbing was ran to the remodel. The camera is on a tripod and this took about 50 minutes total to fill the hole up. Sped up 64x, which is about 1 minute real-time is about a second in the video.
