Paintball was something I start to do with my dad when I was 10 and it made me and him closer. I never thought it would turn into anything! But now it's a huge part in my life I even work at a field my life revolves around it! There is nothing better then hearing the bell that starts each match and making a full sprint for snake and super manning in!

Before I started playing paintball, I didn't have any friends. But one day, I decided to take my lonely *** out to play some paintwars. Meow, I have lots of friends and it's all bro-kuhna-matata for me. (It means no worries, for the rest of your bros)

Well, I now yell at people in school for making careless moves through the hall... So I guess I have that...

Nothing so wonderful here as helping my sobriety or what not. I just have much much less money

alright I'll share some of my story with you guys.
I started paintball very late, I was 35 back in 05.
played sports my entire life, but never seriously.
back in Brazil a soccer ball is every kids first toy.
there it's different, you don't play for a school, I
was just out playing with my friends. Tennis also
had a big period of time in my life. but at some
point I got seriously into video games, even had
a job at a magazine/TV show as a reviewer for a
year or so. I became extremely sedentary at 25.
very few things were capable of getting me out
of the house, just work and basic necessities. So
when I was invited for a kid's b-day party back in
2005 at a paintball field, I had no idea what I was
getting into. after the first game I walked out and
told my wife "I'm gonna buy a paintball gun". She
was like "You?? Really? Which one?" and I replied
"One of each." She didn't believe me and laughed.
Well, check my collection on the sig, it speaks for
itself. Today I can't imagine a weekend without
being outside doing something, specially paintball.

3 shoulder surgeries later, I figured it was time to stop playing snake and retire to the snake corner instead

I am constantly broke and my wife hates me a little more.

Nice question, i had never really thought about how it changed my life.

i was 5"5, weighed 190 pounds (and no it wasn't muscle lol), was very insecure and didn't like to exercise... until i went with some friends to play paintball.

after about 4 games of playing, i knew this was the sport that i needed!. i gained confidence, even became a ref at my local field, made some cool friends and it gave me the final kick to the a$$ that i needed to exercise.

Now i am a fitness junkie hitting the gym about 5 times a week and still loving the sport.

oh and whenever someone asks me about paintball i just can't stop talking lol.

i guess i am just very passionate about this

besides totally engulfing my life???

every minute of every hour of every day i think/talk/text or touch something paintball related...

i've always been into sports and really good at them... you name it i could do it and do it very well....i played them all football, soccer, hockey, lacrosse, baseball, and even played with the girls volleyball for fun! screw track running for no reason is pointless....but no sport out there can compare to the rush and excitement of paintball.....

something very relaxing about shooting people in the face and having them high five you afterwards....sounds crazy i know

besides breaking me financially (which is 100% my own fault not Paintballs) it is probably the sole reason i wake up in the morning and make an attempt at living life.....that and my wonderful girlfriend that supports me 100% of the way. she even works at the field =]

so its hard to say how its affected my life other than completely taking it over.....

Paintball is my life, that's it. Lol

damm432 · 05-30-2013, 03:54 PM

Ok I'm 12 and play paintball and im not one of those spoilt little boys with there egos. Ok so here's how it started back in 2010 I played paintball for the first time. Two years later I had played paintball about four or five times. So in 2012 I said I wanted to buy an airsoft gun. Then when my birthday came along I was like stuff that and picked up an iconx paintball marker along with a co2 tank and java mask. Now in 2013 paintball has forced me to get a job and work hard for money. Now I got a hpa tank just a steely lol invert mini, z2, and use a pair of i4s. But why I play paintball is that even though I go to they field as the youngest player there I still make great friends and I just love the sport like no other sport.
