--Paintball
is my current hobby of choice. I absolutely love its intensity, adrenaline
and tactical nature. I got introduced to the sport by an old friend
of mine around my junior year in high school.. He was always good at
being able to talk me into spending my money on something, hehe. But,
I'm glad that he talked me into paintball. I've owned probably 20 different
paintball guns during the last 7 years that I've been playing. I recently sold my Chris Lasoya Edition Intimidator
($1350.00) with a 14" OTP G-1 barrel.
because I stepped up and bought a DM4 ( Dye Matrix 4) with an Egi Board. The DM4 is stupid fast. My brother liked mine so much that he just bought himself a DM4 as well. Mine is dust, or matte, black and his is glossy red. I'll have to post pics, but we swapped gun parts so we both have black/red DM4s now. The
Intimidator and the DM4 are both considered the best paintball guns on the market and they are capable of shooting 25+ paintballs per second and they have electronic eyes inside the chamber that prevent the gun from shooting until the paintball has completely loaded into the chamber... so you never chop a ball in half anymore.
I also have a Sniper II pump Autococker, that I use when I don't want
to spend a lot of money on paintballs. I'll be sure to post some pics
of them below. I also play at the Paintball Park

Memphis,TN, so if you're in the neighborhood... stop by and play
-- Training is a newly found hobby of mine. I do a mix of weight lifting, running, muay thai kickboxing and cardio. I workout with Big Dave (http://www.BeingBigDave.com) four times a week. We have a pretty solid routine now, we start with 10 mins of elliptical cardio and then we hit the weight room for an hour and half not taking more than a minute between sets or machines. After the weight room, we hit the elliptical cardio machines for at least 30 minutes and then we finish up the gym visit with some Muay Thai Kickboxing training. We use the Bas Rutten Mixed Martial Arts Workout, I highly suggest that you go to his site and check out the routine and demos. (http://www.basrutten.tv)

Video Games
are still addictive to me at the ripe old age of 25. I have owned everything
from an original 8 bit Nintendo to a Xbox, 
which is what I currently
play. MY two favorite games to play online with the Xbox are Halo2 and Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball. However, my favorite game of all right now is the Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball game.
I formed a team,
Team -=EZPaintball.com=-, that plays in the Greg Hastings League at Gamebattles.com and we've peaked on as high as 15th in the world out of 700 teams, with victories over several top 10 ranked teams. When I need a break from GHTP, thats when I'll pop in some Halo 2 and I just blow stuff up. This is very dorky, but I readily admit that I'm a dork, but you can check my Halo 2 stats here.I also play numerous games online with my computer. My favorite
game online with my computer is Asheron's Call
(). It amazing, it is an online,virtual world that is constantly on
whether you are playing or not. Thousands of
others play online with
you, the game is what is known as a Massively Multiplayer Online Role
Playing Game. I've been playing it for several years now, several of
my cousins played and they introduced me to it. Once I started to play
alot, I'd meet them in game to hang out or to go do stuff in the game.
However, I'm also a sucker for a few games of Digital
Paintball (http://www.digitalpaintball.net).
It helps to give me a taste of paintball whenever I want it, even when
I can't make it out to the Paintball Park
(http://www.memphispaintball.com)to
play.
