Well I went paintballing for the first time on Saturday for my buddy Aultmans' 30th birthday. I have to admit I was pretty anxious because I'm not in the best shape in the world anymore and have a very low tolerance for pain. So that was why I was VERY surprised on how much I enjoyed it! AND I wasn't half bad at it either! There was 12 of us in our group so they gave us our own Ref in order for us to play just amongst ourselves which was perfect. We would play a couple rounds on each course then head back to reload on paintballs and CO2, then head back out to a new course to keep things fresh. Now for the first while, it seemed everytime I got hit, it was on a protruding bone somewhere (Knee a couple times, Rib, Knuckle, collar bone, etc). I was kind of shocked about that since... well I'm not really a small guy and carry around a few spare tires so I don't have a whole lot of bone that isn't padded! These shots hurt but I found it just made me more aggressive for the next round. I guess everyone comes away with one good story so here's mine.

I had army crawled (can you friggin believe it???) around a course so I could surprise the other team from the side and pick them off one by one. It worked pretty good to. I shot one guy in the head a few times (sorry Barret) and he didn't even see it coming. I then snuck around on the birthday boy. He was laying down against a concrete block. I stood over him, my muzzle 2 feet from him and said "You are mercied". This means he can walk off without being shot. I guess I surprised him so much he screeched, rolled onto his back and shot me square in the chest at point blank range. OW!!! The ref saw the whole thing and told me the ball didn't explode, I was still in the game (Not that it mattered, this next part would have happened regardless). I was so ticked off and I think Aultman could see it in my eyes through the mask and started trying to apologize. This is when I open fired on him and covered him with paint. I WAS nice about it though and only shot him in the legs (I REALLY wanted to shoot the dumbass in the head). So there's my good story. I've got several more but that's the one that stands out. I'm hoping someone organizes another trip to Wasaga cause that was a blast!

Anyways... gotta run. The guys are here to replace my bay window, back door and garage door!
