Take it easy man... I have an addictive personality as well. It took me a while to get off paintball, but freshmen year, I did something really stupid and my dad smashed my customized blakc magic infront of me with a hammer. I saw those beautiful aftermarket upgrades fly up in the air. That dye izon sight I baught off ebay, along with the reg, pneumatics, and one of my dye boomsticks. After a while I realized there are other things.

Not to brag or show off or anything but I can honestly say I am well rounded. I pick up a lot of things quite easily. After I realized that, Paintball was just one of my other sports. Now that I finaly gave up one of my hobbies for paintball, I am deffinetly glad to be back.

What I am saying is, look for different things other than paintball. Making paintball your life isnt too healthy, and I think many can agree with me on that. (Aside to those who make a living off paintball companies).

Good luck man, the first few days is going to be painful!

Bwahhahha!!!

I bet the following would happen.

Mom plays and likes it so much she gets into the sport. Then while her son is away at school she practices all day and let's no one in on the fact that she's working hard to become a better player ....

Then the day comes where mother and son are out there shooting it up and it becomes clear that Mom is outshooting the Son.

Son walks off the field and quits the sport forever ..... well at least for a few years.

At least that's how it happened when my Dad got my Mom into Skeet Shooting. While he was at work she would go to the range and practice.

Then when they went back out, she out shot him. They never went Skeet shooting again.

my parents/friends/sister/friends sisters all say hell no. but my friend that actually got me into paintball made his mom play once, after she had watched him for a while... and she loved it. last i heard, she was planning on buying her own gun. but then they moved, and i havent seen them since...

heh, actually my friends sister was over my house yesterday to pick him up (i just sold my friend my old spyder, he was picking it up) and i asked her if she wanted to play... she just said so you get shot with paint filled balls that leave nasty bruises... (laugh) count me out.

goddamn preppy girls...

My Mom was cool with the whole thing way back when I was in High School at first. She thought it was okay because we wore masks and talked about safety and stuff like that. But, one day I got a new gun and my friend wanted to try it right away in my back yard. My Back yard is small so it didnt work out that good. The gun was a Kingman Hammer-A pump. Really good gun for 2 days, then it never worked right again. POS!!!. Anyway, we were shooting a card board box in the back yard that was pretty thick and putting holes through the box instead of the paint breaking on it like we thot it would. My mom saw that and freaked out. She started to yell to my Dad, "Thomas, look at THIS!!!. How can this be safe. They shoot these things at each other!!!! This is way too dangerous!!!! I had no idea this is what you were playing all this time! She calmed down after that when we shot a couple other things and showed her its not as bad as it seemed. Cardboard does not break paint very good. I want Dye to make card board pants. The paintballs would go through and break on my legs but no one would be able to really see inside my pants very good. I could cheat alll day!! Muuuwaaahaahhaa. J/K. I hate cheating.

My Father used to do things like that to me when I was a teenager. He made me realize things too ... that you can't trust anyone, not even your own parents. We're still not close and we never will be again.

Haha, just because your parents are garbage doesn't mean everyone's parents are. I don't know how old you are, but that statement comes from a true child.

Don't get on his side too fast, you don't know what "stupid thing" he did?

My friend's girlfriend used to play with us, I've seen some girls playing at a field alot...most of the one's I've "known" play a few times then quit. I don't know if it's the welts or the agressive nature of it. I'm sure there are a ton of girl players out there...that's just been my personal experience.

I'm glad my Father was like that, when I run into people like you I'm not disappointed.

I'm old enough to have seen women cheat on their husbands, guys pretending to talk to the dead to take advantage of old ladies, men using children as sex objects, police who hold no more regard for the Constitution than they would a Bazooka Joe comic, and people flying airplanes into buildings in the name of some silly deity with the manors of a spoiled brat.

I suppose I should rephrase what I said earlier. I do trust people. I trust them to be greedy, inconsiderate, shallow and self centered. Congratulations, you pass the test. You're a real human being.
