It’s non-discrimatory. You can be a man, a woman or in between.

Have you guys played paintball? Have you ever thought about it? I don’t care if you’re a man or a woman or even in between, the game of paintball is as jumping off an airplane. Well, maybe not that exciting but if you ever feel the adrenaline rush while playing, it could be an experience of a lifetime.

While living in Baltimore, I got to play paintball with my co-workers. We organized a weekend trip for anyone who’s interested. Men and women signed up to my surprise. I had no idea what I was getting into until we got to the site. They pair your team with another team who’s playing on the same day. Guess who we got? A team of military men in fatigues and combat armor. What? I thought we were playing for fun!

These people must have gotten discount paintball guns off the internet or some sort because they had their own paintball guns with them. The only support and protection we were wearing were the goggles and a breast support. When we got on the field, I thought I already died. These guys were ruthless. They got the members of my team one by one in a matter of minutes. I got hit in the head right above my right eye. Sheesh. I was running and shooting like mad yet I didn’t get any one. Not one. It was so exciting that I almost peed my pants. It’s like being in the front line.

The one that could have saved us was a girl. She stayed behind her cover the whole time. But when we were all done, she was the only one left and we were watching these guys surround her. It was actually hilarious when she went berzerk and started screaming at the same time shooting at every direction knowing she was going to get hit anytime anyway. We had a blast! I’m just sorry that we never did it again. I would do it again if I get a chance. And this time, we will show up in full gear just to intimidate the other teams. At least we’ll be ahead even before we start! ;) If you haven’t tried it – I suggest you do. You will not regret it.
