"It happens on a random Monday. Coming back from an event or late on a Sunday night, right before you get on the plane and your about to be frisked for the third time. Your driving...your flying....your sitting in an airport seat with guys from the team. Your drinking stale coffee trying to stay awake. Your explaining a fat welt on the side of your neck to a confused stranger . Your coming back to the other life....the one without paintball. Where no one understands why you do it....your tired....working off little sleep and a question creeps up and you try to ignore it. Why do I do this? Why the travel? Why the losses? The missed work...the missed school...hours of practice and the complaining girl friend....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 get to live as loud as you want. Its worth the sacrifices....its 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 ten playing for the world title and suddenly all those clichés you've 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."My name is Alan im 19 from chicago. I go by Alan, Al, Fini, Little Grimmy......."God"......whatever. I am a punk. My favorite band is Anti-Flag. I am a pretty cool guy once you get to know me. I used to play hockey JV, Varsity, and AAA. I dont really play much hockey anymore only pickup games with old men. Don't kid yourself they can skate pretty damn good for their age. My politics are im am a liberal.... I HATE GEORGE BUSH..... I am ANTI-WAR.... but above all I HATE NAZIS! I love to paintball. I am currently shooting a Pink Ion i know it really sucks but i had to sell the DM6 to fix the car. Actually I am a free agent right now so if your team is in need of a player hit me up. I can play any level up to D2. I play Mid/Front. If you've ever played against me then you probably know that I like to get in your face when i shoot you. If you like me You like me, if you dont....... good i want you to try to shoot me... i thrive on that.
