Ultimate Paintball.

Do you paintball or know someone that loves too? Personally, I am deathly afraid of paintballing or at least the concept of it; the possibility of being hit with an oncoming paintball scares the crap out of me :P But my brother on the other hand is a typical male and loves to paintball. He enjoys hitting up the paintball field any chance he gets with his friends and comes home occasionally with huge welts which is exactly the reason why I won’t go paintballing, haha. I, also, have a couple of friends who have participated in paintballing on the professional level and friends that frequent the field just about every weekend that absolutely love the sport.

Last Christmas, my brother really wanted a paintball gun but neither my mom or I knew exactly what to get him, he’d Black Tippmann A5 Paintball Marker Gunliterally send us link after link (since he lives out of state) of paintball guns, from an online paintball store, like the Tippmann A-5 which happens to be one of the many best selling top rated paintball guns out there. Eventually, we settled with getting him just a paintball mask, paintballs and a CO2 air tank…he ended up buying a cheaper paintball gun compared to the Tippmann but it has done the job well! Perhaps, sometime in the future he can afford to get himself a really nice paintball gun or we can save up enough to get one for him, but for now he’ll make due with what he has…and maybe one day, I’ll get up enough courage to go paintballing myself but I wouldn’t count on it  :)

Football Season has Commenced.

The 2007 football season is definitely in full swing around here as my aunt and uncle from Tampa, FL are in town to hand off the $1 to my grand father for South Carolina’s win against Clemson last year. My aunt and uncle are Clemson fans while my grand father, grand mother and the rest of our family pull for Carolina and the tradition has been that which ever team wins the loser must bring a $1 to the winning team before the rival game the next year and so my aunt and uncle are in town this week. Last night, my uncle, dressed in all Clemson orange, handed off the dollar to my grand father; it was a good time, there were other people at the house last night for a cook out all decked out in Carolina crimson colors.

Today, they are all off on a dinner cruise for someone’s anniversary, however, there was much time to get in a good game of football prior to leaving; Oregon v.s. Michigan…who when I left the house at half time, was getting beat 32-7 (32, Oregon). I was invited to watch the Carolina v.s. Georgia game with my cousin and some of their family friends, but I’m not one to sit around and watch football all day, to be quite honest I find it pretty boring…now actually attending games is a different story; boy, do I miss those days when I was younger and my grand parents (my dad’s parents) had season tickets to Carolina games, fun times! :)
