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.

I had no idea how I became interested in soccer - football as they call it in Europe. Maybe because of David Beckam or maybe because of the testosterone-filled soccer field. I remember being in Italy during the World Cup and it was amazing. It is like welcoming the Millenium over there! It is so big in Asia and Europe that I now watch soccer every chance I get.

I wish I had a backyard where I could set up
Soccer Goals and invite friends over to play. It is not only a good way to burn calories, it is also fun because it is a contact sport. I have lots of straight friends that either coach soccer of play soccer for fun. Actually, my buddies from work have invited me to watch their games every Tuesday night right by my neighborhood. Yes, these are my cute co-workers who doesn’t care that I’m gay. They have been great buddies of mine even after I came out to them.

If and when I get the motivation to workout again, I would like to play soccer. I just need to lose weight first, get my stamina up and go! One thing I enjoy about the game is the camaraderie that is displayed during the game. It is the kind of male-bonding that I missed out on while growing up since I didn’t play much sports as a child.

Now, I have found my sport and I am going to make it a goal to be able to play the game when the right time comes.
