I got up this morning and realized that I couldn't really shake off the stress this total freaking idiot gave me at work last night. I went to the batting cage last night and it did make me feel good a little bit but it didn't help me much. So I ran 10 kilometers like i usually do this morning. Usually, it should make me feel better but it didn't. So I decided to go something extreme. Skydiving. I've done it a lot but I don't do it frequently as it's pricey. I did it twice today though. The first dive wasn't great. Well, diving part was alright but the strap around my crotch got my balls badly.... when the parachute opened, the whole body weight almost squished my balls. I am glad I am gay coz I wouldn't have to be concerned about male sterility. The second dive indeed helped me. The diving part was fantastic. But the fiasco was that I couldn't open the main parachute when I reached the altitude where I was supposed to open it. It didn't work.... I panicked. I was instructed to use the backup parachute and I knew how to do it. But I had never done that before. After the third attempt, the main parachute successfully opened. Embarrassingly, I peed a little bit. At this point, I so forgot the stress I had and was thankful I was still alive. I am not allowed to, but I took a photo while paragliding. My hands were shaking.... huh... After landing, I asked my instructor to tell me how to open the secondary parachute again for double-check....but doing it for real is completely different from knowing it.... Whew. Would I go skidiving again? Hell ya. :-) Thanks, Skydiving. I am so over the stress I got! yay. I strongly hope almost dying isn't the only way for me to blow off the stress though... You have a
SAFE weekend!
holy crap shigeki!!! wow. you lead a MUCH more interesting life than I do. wow.
You sexy active man. Come lemme give you a wet kiss.
Paul
Ai-Ya!!!
I'm glad you landed safe and sound! (Who knew that people sky dived in Japan?!)
OMG Your interests really are varied. From calligraphy to batting to skydiving to getting drunk and hitting on 7-11 counter boys.
You're an amazing person, Shigeki. And I'm not even saying it because I want to have sex with you! (I do, a little bit, but don't tell my BF :P)
Will, dear, who DOESN'T want to have sex with Shigeki?!?! and now the batting cage parachuting thing makes him even hotter. the peeing his pants on the way down is a little disconcerting.... hot, but disconcerting.... ;)
OMG! Awesome!!! I mean, not the "ball crushing" or the "almost dying because the parachute didn't open" part. But awesome, nonetheless. You, sir, have an interesting hobby. I'm soooo jealous. :-)
How scary was that? I would have totally peed my pants. I am glad you made it down to solid ground safe.
where do you sky dive shigeki? and I am SO GONNA TELL WIL"S BF ABOUT HE WANTING TO SLEEP WITH YOU!!
I found Shigeki first, so rest of you malaysians, BACK OFF BICTCHES!!! If if anyone is gonna have mind blowing tantric sex with him, its ME!
Adronjane, Goat tormentor & Bitch Baroness!
wow! i'm very glad you didn't bounce. that would have sucked for you (and not in a good way!)
i went skydiving once. someone tied my steering toggles down and i ended up landing in a ditch. i was most unhappy. you're definitely right. there's nothing like landing and finding out that you're able to, not only walk, but yell at who packed the chute up. :)
Whew,,Please be careful,Shigeki sang...;-o
I'm glad you're feeling better,though...
Man - you're one heck of a risk taker mate! I have always wanted to do sky diving but the thought of being in your situation just puts me off! I don't react well when I'm in a panic stage! :-( By the time I calm my nerves, I would have crashed landed! and that's going to be a horrible mess!
Well - I'm glad you've manage to survive in one piece! Phew.... At least your stress levels are now way below the average corporate slaves :-)
Thanks for the recommendation, will definitely try this Bar in Shimbashi. I work quite close to Shimbashi as well - so it's easy to do drop by. Cheers.... Have a good Sunday!
おもしろい。シゲキさんが男前ね。o（’▽`）ゝ
You are quite an interesting guy, Shigeki. Mind if I add you to my blog roll?
宜しくおねがいします〜♪
Hey Shigeki san, I have forgotten my manners (Thanks seekeronos!). Can I have your permission to add your blog to my list of favourite blogs on my blog roll as well? thanks in advance!
near death always takes the edge off of day-to-day stress! puts everything into perspective.
Now I am definitely tucking you under my sheets! Good thing I'm not in Malaysia, otherwise AJ and Will would kick my butt. I'm your Manila boy, Shigeki! ;-)
I was scared shitless when we were driving down the mountain curves from Baguio, and here you are, skydiving, and doing it twice! Hey, certainly almost dying is not the only way for you to blow off your stress. Would you like me to show you other ways? ;-)
wow wow... You are so butch. YUMMY....
wow....suddenly EVERYONE wants to shag Shigeki!!
Hi Mark,
I don't know. Skydiving is a great way to enjoy my personal time but my life is not interesting as I have to be a strict corporate slave working 300-400 hours a month or more...You see, you start thinking "God, my life is better. " :-) You have a fantastic day!
HI Paul,
Active. ;) hahaha. I'd love to. But a wet one? I wonder how wet it goes. :) You have a wonderful day!
Hi Hanuman,
Ai-Ya!! (hahaha. I've never said that before.) Thank you very much. I am glad about that, too. :) well, there are several sky diving spots in the Tokyo area actually. :-) You have a gorgeous day!
Hi Will,
Well, 7-11 counter boys?? I actually hit on one guy when I was way drunk. :) That's all. He no longer works there though. :( I am? I'm very honored that you said so. But you see you don't have to select one or the other. We all can have fun at the same time, no? :) You have a pleasant evening!
Hi Mark,
Hold on a sec. Would you have sex with anybody who skydives and bats? :) that's interesting. Well, I peed accidentally of course. :) I mean I didn't intentional do that. Thankfully, I didn't wet my pants. Just a few spots on my undies. I mean I was so scared when it happened..... You have a marvelous day!
Hi Fullofhype,
Skydiving isn't my hobby actually as I cannot afford to do it frequently. I do it every once in a while when I get really stressed. But it's indeed awesome. I guess I like sky so much. that may be why. ;) You have a splendid day!
Hi Cesar,
It was EXTREMELY scary. I didn't wet my pants for your information. :) I am glad that I was able to make it home, too... Otherwise, I wouldn't be here. Wow, that idea scares me a little bit..... You have a fantabulous day!
Hi AJ,
I skydive in Saitama prefecture if you know where that is. I am sure you do. It's just like 40 min drive north from Tokyo. Well, AJ, we can all go pay a little visit Will's BF and have fun together. Good idea? But I am so honored considering I am old not so great skin toned 30 year old guy.... I miss my 20s a little bit. You have a fabulous day!
Hi Naomi (Your name is so kewl),
I am glad I didn't bounce, too. :) Well, I wouldn't know it because I could go without feeling pain. :) They said they carefully inspected the parachute I used.. but I was so mad at them. I guess I am going to change the skydiving spot and the school. :) You have a happy day!
Hi Leigh,
Oh yes, I always am. :) Thank you very much! I am glad, too. I hope you are feeling great! Have a great evening!
Hi Ian,
Well, skydiving isn't that risky even though I told you guys the episode I had. It's definitely worth doing it even though there is a risk. Heck, you might get stabbed by a crazy drunk guy who got fired recently in the middle of the street. :) I am pretty sure this stress I have would go high again but I know how to manage it :) You're very welcome about the recommendation. Shinbashi is so "Oyaji" but it's a great place actually. Enjoy!
Hi Seekeronos,
(My sloppy translation: Interesting, Shigeki. You are a stud. Nice to meet ya.)
I am honored if you added a link to my site. I actually added a link to yours already though. I hope you don't mind. your military story was totally hot! I want that. ;) You have a wonderful day!
P.S. to Ian,
That's totally alright. I'd be very delighted if you added that. But I didn't know you had a blog. What's the URL? Actually, I have a good guess what that would be though.
Hi Joe,
Always? Wow, I have never experienced that many near death experiences before. And I hope not. :) Welcome to my site and you have a good day!
HI Mark,
Well, like I said to Will and AJ, why would we limit? We can travel around and have fun together. :) aussie partay. :) I am very very intrigued what you would show me to blow off the stress. :) I am always up for anything new. :) You have a wonderful night!
Hi Ca va pas la tete,
Well, I still sing and dance to the song by Madonna and wear a pink shirt. :) Good day!
Hi Alteekay,
hehehe. I guess Skydiving and batting in the cage are the great combination? I don't know. ;) YOu have a wonderful day!
Shegeki, YOU ARE SO BUTCH. Batting cages, 10km runs, sky diving... you're like a superhero.
