So in February, I did the 28-day blogging challenge, courtesy of Mr. Scott Bishop. I figure it’s been over six months since I flooded your readers every day with nonsense, so it’s about that time again. Now, I realize that September has 30 days, but given the amount of activity going on this month, I’m giving myself the opportunity to have two days off. Will I take them? Good question. Regardless, having some sort of plan I can commit to is fun, and, September is going to be a pretty epic month, so naturally, I’ll want to share that with all of you.

I’ve got some big things in the works for this month, the first of which you’ll see after Labor Day weekend. In addition to that super-awesome project, I’ll be the (honorary) coach for the CSC 4-way team at Nationals. I’m pretty sure I’m a glorified water girl since I actually have no idea what coaching a 4-way team involves, but it’s going to be an awesome learning experience, being around so many rockstar skydivers.

After Nationals, a bunch of CSC’ers are road trippin’ it out to SkyVenture Colorado to do some time in the wind tunnel. I fully anticipate coming out of there 100% better than I did going in, and I’m sure there will be some funny video to share of me trying to master new skills.

Shortly after we return from Colorado, we’re having a tattoo party at Twisted Tattoo here in Chicago. Pete is going through AFF right now at CSC, and he’s shutting down the shop for a skydiver inking bonanza. I haven’t totally decided on what I’m getting (sorry Mom) but I have a pretty good idea.

So I anticipate a lot of the posts will be about skydiving, but as some of you have so kindly pointed out – those posts aren’t for everyone. There seems to be a lot of great fodder for Generation-Y discussion lately, so I’m sure there will be a little bit of that, some life stuff (think mindcrushes and the like from earlier this year) and a lot of reflection as season starts to wind down.

What would you like to see? If you’re into the skydiving stuff – do you want more video? More pictures? More of the “wow, skydiving is remarkably similar to _____”-type of posts? If you’re not into the airplane shenanigans, what would you like to see here? Gen-Y? Social media? More about the college to corporate/QLC/OMG what am I doing stuff?
