Paintball and Hitting the Dateless Wall

Event Date: Saturday April 30, 2011

My friend decided that for her birthday she wanted to gather a bunch of her nearest and dearest to battle it out on the paintball court. I accepted the invite because I believe everyone should have what they want for their birthday, and it was an activity in the adventurous territory that I have never tried. All I knew about paintball was that the impact of the balls that are being shot at you at 30 miles an hour was very painful. I realized that it being painful was the least of my worries, once I arrived at the location NYC Paintball in Queens, NY and I was handed a waiver where I literally signed away my life and the life of my younger sister who tagged along.  The form warned us that possible injury may include blindness, becoming a paraplegic, a list of maybe ten other things, and finally death.
