anto's Journal: Paint Ball pain HA!

Well - I can now tick off another extreme (kinda) activity from my decreasing list.

For keef's bucks we trotted down to the local paintball provider.. Boy was it fun, there was close to no pain at all (at the time :) and we generally enjoyed a good 4 hours of running around in the bush 'killing' each other.

I have never had such an insight into what it must be like to occupy a battlegound equipped with modern weapons, the difference between being 'alive' & 'dead' was at times miniscule - one second you would be nice & hidden the next a paintball would smack into your body somewhere & you would be walking off the gound with your gun (opps 'marker') above your head.
The only problem is that its yet another expensive activity that I would *love* to do again, that and the increasing worry that I might be addicted to things that generate large amounts of adrenaline... But how can that be a bad thing right :)

no pain... well for some

Sure, you were never the rabbit and thus subjected to being repeatedly shot at reasonably close range...

and then there was the incident where you shot john in the back at close range :)

but even then the painlevels were not too much to handle...
