My weekend revolved around paintball

Its been a while since I last posted and theres a reason behind it. It wasn't because I was lazy or just didnt have time. I did have time, but I wasnt at home all weekend. I was in San Antonio playing scenario or woodsball paintball. Here's how my friday led to my Sunday evening.


Thursday, I had come back from meeting a group of friends about our project. It was a waste of our time because we had decided on something so simple that we took 3 hours to just see what would be the outcome. We were at the library and of course they have tons of computers so each and one of us was on a computer. I was doing some homework for another class. Three others were doing the exact same thing until they noticed and decided that one person should do it. It all came down that I would do the revisions after they had submitted the draft. I agreed. I thought it was perfect. We all then left home.


I got home at around 11:30 pm. I still hadnt packed for the trip. I started packing and got done at around 12:20 am. I then took a shower and ended up going to bed at 2:00. I had to wake up at 5:30 am, but didnt get picked till around 7:00 am. So off we started our drive to San Antonio. I fell asleep a couple of times because I had only a couple of hours of sleep. We ended up driving for 10 hours that day.


We got into San Antonio and stayed at my dads apartment. Ate pizza, fell asleep, and froze at night.


Saturday, was abruptly woken up with my uncle throwing pillows at me >:( I threw two back. I got out of bed, took a quick shower and got ready. The night before I had resumed talking to a boy on the gyc who made me smile everytime I read his messages. He is really cute and I have just realized that Im a sucker for blonde blue eyed boys.


Anyways, we had to drive for an hour to our destination and in the meantime I was on the internet awaiting for any sign of a new message. This was all on my phone, which leads me to the reason why I didnt post. I just had my phone to pose and trying to write on my phone would take ages.


Finally got there and registered ourselves. I had never seen so many players. Sure, I have gone to other scenario games, but there werent as many players as there were in this one. I then starting getting ready by taking out my gun and setting it up. I walked onto the field and it was HUGE!!


I had loads of fun and by the end of the night I was exhausted. We ate some wings and called it a night.The next morning we have to wake up earlier. We drove again for an hour and got there, but it was freezing cold and windy. We had decided not to play because of the wind. This is why, paintballs are traveling at 268 fps (feet per second) and with 25 mph winds the ball instead of going straight follows the path of the wind. In other words, you will almost never hit your target. Its pointless to go out and play so we left. We got breakfast returned back to the apartment and started packing.


We drove back in 7 hours and was exhausted from the whole trip. I just lazed around and fell asleep. I woke up pretty late today and havent done much. I have to clean my gun and my equipment from Saturday so as not to damage the internal components of the gun. 


Now Im just waiting for him to answer back. He gave me his number but he hasnt replied :/ I just want to hear from him and see how his day went. Well that recaps my weekend and why I couldnt post. Trying to write all of this in phone would have taken way to long and would have been frustrating with all the backspaces and errors. 


I love paintball!

  2. This is one serious hobby!

    Mind you I used to have similarly long and crazy weekends because of a narrow gauge railway in Wales (and the boys I met there, of course!).

  3. To Micky,

    Yeah its been my hobby for about 7 years now. I've grown with it and it's very adrenaline rushing. Those crazy weekends must have been a blast and memorable to say the least.

    Im glad I could change it up a bit so its not readable for everyone. I can see how you would have had to squint in order to see. I will not publish every post like that.

    Paintballs do hurt but only for like 30 seconds and then the pain goes away. Its not that bad honestly. That is a bad friend and someone I wouldn't want to hang around with. I can see why you didn't see him much and like I said I would have done the same.
