You Might Think I'm Foolish (But Baby It's Untrue)
$1,000 in the tank. It is officially on. I am going to hover 31 stories in the air!! The reality of which is starting to sink in. My apartment building is 9 stories tall, my office building is 23 stories tall. That means I am basically rappeling the distance of the two structures stacked on top of each other. Yikes!! But once I get something in my brain I need to commit to doing it. Like how I got it into my brain it would be a good idea to run 26.2 miles, ride a mechanical bull, jump out of a plane or go to a bootcamp and get yelled at a few times a week. Genius!! This one is a little different though, I'm going to have to sike myself up. So, I started making a mix of uber cheesy rappel related songs to listen to during the coming month. Here is what I have so far:
Baby Hold On- Eddie Money (only as an adult did I realize this song is awesome)
Hanging Tough- New Kids On The Block
Fly Like An Eagle- Steve Miller Band
Living On A Prayer- Bon Jovi
Sponji Reggae- Black Uhuru (only because I can't get this song out of my head)
Too High- Stevie Wonder
Eye In The Sky- Alan Parsons Project
You Might Think- The Cars
Hang On- Teenage Fanclub
Such Great Heights-Iron and Wine (cover)
Crazy- 27 (cover)
One more thing, I got my official rappelling info packet, which indicates once you are in the air you can do what you want. Hang upside down-yes. Dangle in the air-yup. Take photos-sure. They even encourage you to look into the guestroom windows. After thinking about it, any charity that encourages peeping toms has to be cool, right?
