Calvin and Hobbes Bill Waterson comic book was presented to the public in 1985, a year before Matthew "Calvin" Hecker made his debut on this planet. Now, an argument can be made Calvin19, as he is known on the forum, was mistakenly left in the Mothership and they will be back the claim. Adding to this argument are fellow BASE jumpers commenting, "this guy does crazy shit", a statement that lures you into thinking "this is someone I have to say."

"Live your life for yourself and not based on popular opinion. Individuals can not be classified, they are far too diverse for the label. Do not be an adventurer, reckless, or the athlete is an explorer of all things in life. "Calvin explorer of life, embracing every moment of every day with every fiber of his being. There will ten sleeves of despair, he aches with desire, and it is filled with passion to swallow whole life before the universe gives it to ashes.

When it does not create or run an adventure, it is to capture on film. Thousands and thousands of photographs freezing his friends and family in the moment in time preserved a moment to rekindle the flames of imagination. Boulder, Colorado has provided the backdrop for his life, this work of art, he is alive and breathing. "I love this city, young women open-minded college, majestic mountains in my backyard, huge towers, 2000 feet high cliffs, rivers, my family and my friends," he exclaims.

This kind of live in the moment is reflected in his philosophy and jump, "everything you do can be new to you, once. My life is a series of moments. I have a soundtrack. Whenever I fly, I try to live in this beautiful music in my head and make the visuals is worth the time it took my fancy ideas for composing. You can compare it to films, I've never been a good judge of films because I could not see everything in its final value. I kept getting lost in every moment, every feeling that could be taken by the beauty of the visuals and sound. Flying does that for me, I can produce feelings felt before, and I have flown. Seeing the line in a plane or riding a wingsuit and hard for that hole in the sky. "

"I live like I do with theft, and risk, and dreams and reality, perhaps just so I can live up to the musical score in my head. I can not write music or paint landscapes, but I can fly. I can move my body with leaves of my tools to make the most amazing feelings and transfer of these visions of grandeur and epic adventure to all who may be watching. "

These moments of time weigh heavily on the mind of Calvin. Loss of flying time can scrape objectives fulfilled his long list. Oh, yes, there is a list entitled "Things to do before you die" and reads as such:

• 1-Break "Folder." (Classified information)
• Create a 2-powered aircraft
• 3-Create a submarine.
