I came into tonight’s workout handicapped by five hours of paintballing it up with the section at work. I came home from that, and proceeded to lay on my bed for 15 minutes after washing the sand off of my arms. I knew I wasn’t going to be on time for the first class starting, […]

As previously mentioned, today was our company outing to play paintball. I went last year and had plenty of friendly fire incidents. This year, however, I am pleased to report that I not only didn’t shoot any of my teammates, I was actually able to shoot several members of the opposing team (3-4, I think)! […]

Today is my company paintball outing. Last year’s outing went down in the record books as the absolute best time I’ve gotten full pay for. This year I am in a much better place as far as work related stressors go so I’m looking forward to having a paid half-day out of the office to […]

Last night after I got back from Karate, I elected to do the first pulls off of my new Training Remote molds. I decided to do this on the back porch, which in the end was a bad idea. I learned some lessons from this: my deck is not in the least bit level, heat […]

Tonight’s workout started off with some warning shots. You see, as I travelled to my destination I felt the rolling around fighting of two kittens inside of my intestines. I knew about halfway through warmups that this wasn’t going to end well. The first class consisted of basics… I was able to shrug off destroying […]
