Heheh...

I know probably half of you out there have too, but hey, its a big accomplishment for a rec baller like me. And you know its sad because I didn't really "make it" there, I just had my head in one picture in a story about Scenario games in Colorado.

So without further ado, I give you My Head, and the Stiffi barrel I won there. I would be in another pic too, holding an Aradus barrel I won back in April, but didn't know he was taking a group pic of the winners...meh.

I'm pretty sure they were trying to cut you out as much as possible. I'm a lot more prominent in the photo I'm in!

I was in the background of a 3 minute news report eating coloflower(sp?). It was just after a huge wave went through the bottom of my house.

'Gratz!

Paintball.com is a master of cutting people out of pics... silly bastards took some sweet pics of our 7 man team at IAO last year and everyone that I would of been in they cropped it so only 6 of us were in it.

I got some pics online, but man the cameras love me at events! I have like 5 pictures of me alone from GPL today, plus videos of me A) playing B) Bunkering people C) yelling at refs and D) Giving the camera the finger after they tried to zoom in on my hurt teammate who was bleeding from a 5 inch gash on his leg. He's alright though, so its all good.

Funny thing is cameras dont break to that kind of stuff...been there done that, lol. Heres a pic of when we beat RM at NJ..I have yet to describe that in Claires forums like everyone asked..maybe I should get onto that? Maybe, its not a big deal to me, but I was happy. Theres more pics on paintball.com, but I like how my name is just like KABLAMO! :D

That was your teammate? Damn. I saw what he looked like AFTER it all.

Glad to hear he's ok.

And for the camera crew- they're going to send us the tape of one of our games. It was a FUN game. :D

Yeah, I hear he needs some stitches but he'll be ok. They really over-dramatized it with the ambulance and stretcher and everything, but it was a pretty nasty cut.

On the other hand, the camera crew only got one of our games this time, where we got rolled by Next Level Factory. The last tournament they have footage of me pulling a hot run through though, I can't wait for that.
