Well, I might soon see the end of my paintball days:( A few days ago when I found out I would have to buy my own vehicle, I had to make a few decisions about what had to go. I looked at my bank statements and calculated what I spend on paintball, fishing, driving, food, etc. and then I divided it into neccesities(food, driving, clothes) and extras(paintball,fishing,Music, etc). Top of the extras list? Paintball ofcoarse. So I talked it through with my dad and he said I could not afford to buy a car or truck on my current budget. After some math work, we figured I could afford a truck(with some money help from mom and dad:)) I worked it out and I found if I sold my paintball stuff, I could afford it:( Well, I slept on it a few nights, and I asked my friends what they thought. I asked some guys at the field. I got mixed remarks, but overwelmingly it was "It's your money". I finally decided that it would be in my best interest to get out of paintball for a while. I must say, this was one of the most heart breaking decisions I've had to make. I mean for three years I've been obsessed with paintball. I practically lived for it for a while. But times change and I must change with them. For the moment, I'm going to inventory my equipment and post a list in the Paintball forsale forum. What wish to do is auction it all off in a sticky thread(Mods? Can I?). I will be willing to piece out, but buyers will hafta pay shipping. I hope this can become high-profile so A. I can get the maximum income, but also so you all can prove just how tight the AGD supporter family is. I will still visit here regularly just because this is a great place, but I won't be toting a mag anymore. But don't worry, I will plaster my bumper with AGD stickers and will still wear my AGD shirts around. And ofcoarse, I will come back o post pictures of my Auto, whatever it may be.
But I couldn't leave this great sport without thanking everyone....I want to thank Team Aftershock for making me want to play harder.I want to thank Team Avalanche for giving me an enemy:D I want to thank PSI for making a great magazine. I want to thank MajorDamage for renewing the idea that we christians can still be cool. And I want to thank you all for selflessly helping me before with my mindess paintball queries. I want to thank AGD for making it so hard to even consider selling my mag. I want to thank Tom for making Level 10 so my gun will hopefully sell high. And finally, I want to thank the fine people who run these forums for making such a great place to converse about my favorite things. Thank you all so much. I will miss paintball more than anything without a heartbeat. I will return though, so never fear:) :D
