The life without paintball aka what do you do?

[hitech]

I'm a software engineer/consultant working with the IBM iSeries (AS/400). When not at work the kids take up most of my time, especially since the arrival of the baby (14 months old).

Well my first job is working at the paintball factory, in garland TX.

The other is I am a small time sports photographer. I work for this couple that have a Trailer, computers, and some nice camera's setup (I havemy own film amd 4mp digi cam but they aren't that great compared to these). We take pictures of little league games, softball, and I think we're getting into football now. It's pretty fun to see how well certain pictures of yours turned out and you sit there and think, DAMN i took that picture! I get compliments from parents about my pictures. I don't personally think they are the best in the world. But deffinately better than what some parents can pull off as far as photography.

And of course im getting into college starting... monday. Good times.

right now as in this week what do i do?? make cookies, iron clothes with tons of starch, sew whatever i feel like sewing, swim, ride bikes with the kids, go for walks, shopping for a new car, house hunting, drs appointments, painting the place, and clipping cupons.ect.. it is boring as crap, i can't keep busy enough

I am actually on "medical leave" for a few months (gotta love drs that don't realize staying at home to "rest" is more work then going to work). Normally I would be making schedules, ordering beer, ordering liquor, tasting the new wines, and flirting with customers.. so officially I am still a BEER WENTCH. I love workig in the service industry, i like the fast pace atmosphere, i love the people, and i love being able to pour a draft beer with the perfet amount of head.

I am however working twards my hotel/restraunt degree (4 year) and taking some courses in fashion design and interior design on the side, I have a facination with both of those, just wouldn't want to do them as a way to live. Then they would not be as much fun.

I'm a high school student going into senior year. I've got a job as a cashier at the local supermarket. Beign a cashier is basically about sucking people's nuts all day. So I switched to working "helping hands". Basically we push carts around and help people load their cars. We goof off most of the time though lol. Way better than cashier. I also work on register sometimes still.

I also am into military model making. I like doing dioramas of battle scenes mostly, but I also like doing planes. I did a really sweet diorama of Little Roundtop at Gettysburg. I also am really into history and law. I'll most likely major in history and go through the pre-law program in college. I want to go Navy after that so I'm applying to NROTC and the Academy. Ultimately, I want to be a JAG lawyer and then a maritime lawyer in the civilian world.

Other than that, I have a girlfriend and a car. How I can afford paintball I do not know.

[mandatory]

I am a semi-professional Hip hop DJ by the moniker "krazym/fkut", serving the san diego area. Just finishing up my summer residencies at two local clubs. ( school started up again....math major)

Currently attending community college and planning to transfer in the future. Like i said, im a math major and hope to do some engeneering as well.

Aside from DJing in the clubs, I am a acomplished producer/composer of hip hop music. I work and proform In the group, Lyke Mynds in and around the southern california area. You can check out our music at:

For my regular job I work at KKL, A revolutionary surfboard factory where we shape surfboards using CNC machiens and computers. My brother is the manager/ head programer, so working for family is nice. I run one of the 3 CNC machines on the 8:00 pm -2:00am shift. Garveyard...who hoo. You can check out KKL's webpage at

www.kklmachine.com Check it if your into CNC and machineing.

I am on the outs of a semi-semi- professional skateboarding career. I still skate 4-5 times a week but cant keep up with the level the sport has risen to. Im no longer interested in a career in skating, but rather a lifetime of further enjoyment of the sport. I still film a little here and there for random so-cal pros, depending on whether im at the right session at the right time. I live in encinitas, a town with a extencive history of pros either comming out of here or at least living here at some point in their career. I went to a rather skate-famous highschool, San Dieguito, which is home to the San dieguito 10 rail, the chris lambert TWS cover shot double set, the locker room 13, the 12 rail Arto Sari slammed on and went to the hospital in flip's "SORRY" video, and lastly the Muska double kinked from welcome to hell...to name a few. Skating is a large, if not the largest part of my life.

I had Quite a rollerhockey career as a youngster (California state champs)and have continued playing in at the highschool, college, and mens level. Its my skeleton in the closet so to speak. Rollerhockey isnt too cool in the skateboard scene. I still play pick up now and then, but its hard to squeeze it in now that i paintball so much.

I have been playing serious tourny paintball for about a year now, and paintball in general for about 2 years. Im still quite raw with my skills, but I am practicing alot now. My Djing expierence helps me with walking the trigger because in djing there is a scratch called a twiddle, which involves alternating your pointer and middle finger rapidly, so my walking speed is ok. I pull a solid 12-13 bps with my right and a 10 with my left shooting a non-vision impy (still waiting on a devilmag....dont even ask how i feel about it). I enjoy paintball alot, and am slowly plugging myself into the vast paintball scene here in so-cal. Just won my first 3-man even at the local field and scored me some nice new empire pants fer winnin.

Other than that, I skimboard, snowboard, surf, and play a little golf.

Lastly, on top of all that i hang with my girlfriend, Cassie. We have been going out for almost 8 years now, so its quite the relationship. Shes super cool, and beautiful, and very easy going. She even came to AO NorCal vs. SoCal with me. She played more games than me due to the fact that my devilmag wasnt done yet and i didnt have a gun. I took this great pic of her seconds after she got bunkered for the forst time. This guy from a local team stitched her up good....errr i mean bad.

"Lies, damned lies and statistics"

I am a Census Liaison Officer with Statistics Canada. Mostly, I produce custom data tables on demand for other government departments.

Wanna know how many unemployed immigrant male tree surgeons with PhD's there are in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan? Fifteen*. All numbers rounded off. (*this one I just made up)

Besides paintball, I bike and play ultimate frisbee, golf and disc-golf. And I like to sit on patios and drink beer.

I am going to be a sophmore. I work at a Vet Clinic, and enjoy it and that's good because I want to go to college to be a Vet(yeah right) or Vet Tech(local school, easy to get into). I get paid like $5 after taxes, but I get a raise in like a month. It has pretty wierd hours... usually 2 hours in the morning and two at night (when I'm actually working). It feeds my paintball addicition, but if I didn't have that I'd probly spend more money on going out with my girlfriend.

[Lee]

L.P.N./dialysis technician at the veterans hospital in Tampa Fl.

get to work early, but i get off early as well. other than paintball, my kids, sister and friends help keep me sane.

[DaveSM]

University student in mechanical engineering. I have a technical formation in thid field of studies also. My actual job (until tomorrow midnight as I leave it to move to a new city for University) is a student job at the hospital. I'm telephonist-receptionist (answering to the telephone and giving directions), I also work at the kitchen (but not as a chef) and at the warehouse (where they dispense the medical supplies). I'll try to find something related to my field of study while I'll be at Montreal.

[Steelrat]

I deal with the dregs of society on a daily basis.

[spacedtedybear]

College student majoring in physics.

[CoolHand]

Paintball is my living . . . . . . .

But just in case it turns out that I suck at business, I am about 6hrs away from a BS in Mining Engineering with a Minor in Explosives Engineering. You always gotta have a plan B (and sometimes C, D, E . . . .).

God I hope I can stay in PB full time, I'm not sure I can handle a real job.

[Recon by Fire]

I got moved from my position, a "promotion"....now i'm stuck in a fortified building (bricked over windows, metal vault doors, covered in sandbags) and get to look at a computer screen for 12 hours every night. Some promotion, but I don't have to wear body armor now...

No paintball here either at all, you would likely get shoy by something that marks more than paint
