This morning we went over to the Fisher’s to play paintball. It had been a long time since I had done it… but it was the same thing. The best part of it was seeing a side of the other 14 people that I had never seen before.
Despite being extremely tired and notably getting picked last, I did have a good time. I think some of the people there thought I was mad or just being a jerk but the real deal was that all of the activity is really catching up with me and I was real tired. I need some serious downtime.
I’m not sure if I shot very many people. And I definitely didn’t go through as many paintballs as other people. But it was a good time. I didn’t wear camo and I don’t think that hurt me either. I did get shot in the legs (I wore shorts) but I also didn’t get nearly as hot as the other people. Plus, getting hit on the skin didn’t really hurt me much. Sting? Yes, but not hurt.
An observation: Paintballers are no different than golfers. They stood around for 15-20 minutes after each round comparing strategies, sharing stories, and complaining about equipment.
