When I turned 30, I had just gotten back from a two month trip backpacking through Mexico and started working two jobs to save for a trip through Europe. When I was 30, I was half wild with no anchors, no commitments to anyone and just dated, went out and screwed around. That was NO WAY to live!
My thoughts for YOUR birthday is to forget the skydiving and do that when you're a lot older and have less to lose.
Try to get some spirituality going.
Here's a thought:

Or go to a Buddhist temple and chant with the monks. Learn temperance.
Go on a Green Tortoise tour.

This is a good thing to do at the age of 30. Because as my father told me years ago, when you step into your 30's, you're in the youth of old age.
If you get more grounded at the age of 30, life becomes more comfortable and there is less turmoil. For the record, I didn't learn anything along these lines until I was much older.
LOL. I'm just teasing. Sortof!
