About Me
".....you're explaining the fat welt on the side of your neck to a confused stranger or a best friend. You're coming back to the other life; the one without paintball, where no one understands why you do it. You're tired. You're working off little sleep, the question creeps up and you try to ignore it. Why do I do this? Why the travel? Why the losses, aand the missed work, the missed school, hours of practice and the complaining girlfriend? Because the lure of living a paintball life is just too potent, and the products of the road, the travel, are memories forever, and trips and strange lands with stranger people. At tournaments, it feels like, for once, you actually get to live as loud as you want. It's worth the sacrifices, it's worth all the bullshit. Because if you work hard enough a Sunday will roll around and you'll be in the huddle, screaming, with your hand in, one among seven playing for the World Title. And suddenly, all those cliches you ever heard make sense, and you are defined. You say it to yourself and it means everything. I am a paintball player; and this moment, right here, is my life." - Matty Marshall^^^that explains what the sport means to me, and the impact that it can have on you, it's a lifestyle.Other then that, My name is Matt James AKA MJ, those that know me, know I'm addicted to the sport of paintball, but those same people do not truly understand the makeup of the sport.I play 7 man with Nasty.I go to UMBC and looking to transfer to UMD, majoring in computer engineering. I'm shy/ reserved in person, but once I'm truly comfortable around people that I know, I open up and become the real me.
