Know Your Audience

Just looking at my question about what TV show you would choose to take after shows a lot of diversity in our group. There were answers from medieval times to Drs, and even geeks in college. That is a little like what I was expecting, but reading them I was not expecting as much diversity. There was some correlation between some of them. The diversity is good though.  You then look at the question of what era you would prefer to be in. A lot of the audience wanted to be in the early '90s or back in the 1800s. Some even thinking they were born in the wrong era. Which I myself have thought that before too. It comes with the mentality of being a human. Then on the other hand you have people showing where they think they will be in ten years from now. Many include classes and degrees done, others are owning personal property. All the people in this group show a very well view of themselves while also looking forward in an abstract way to a different view of their life. Not every thought is black and white. They very and show that the group is open to their dreams and wishes with each other.

Credo

I believe everyone needs to try paintball one time in their life.

That is what I believe. Every person that has met me and held a decent conversation will see at some point paintball arrive in our topics. Normally I bring it up but there have been a number of occasions where someone else has brought it up. Just knowing the sport is one thing. Knowing what all is behind it is a completely different story. I had dug so deep into it that it is hard to look at it the same way a new player does. Having taken multiple groups out for their first times I have some aspect of their ideas of the game and what they are expecting. Seems so funny to not give them all the details and let them figure it out on their own within the very first game. Seeing joy well up in them after they continue to play is what I love. I can not think of another way to spend a warm summer day. Joy of others as well as the constant competitiveness of it all. They mouth the whole time between games but soon as they are done it is a field of friends. Friends that can either stay with you for a long while or ones for just that day. Either way a friend on or off the field is what any person should want for.

I personally think that all people need to try it. Just a simple thing. If it costs around twenty dollars a person to play how is it not many have played. Yes the fact that it is a small ball flying towards you is something completely different then if you think about it in the full aspect of the game. As I said the way I look at it is completely different from the way new people do. If only I could find a way to make it where all people can look about the same way at it.

I believe everyone needs to try paintball one time in their life

I believe trying paintball at least once in one's life is a must. It helps build up so many things within the mind and body as well as helps you get out of the norm. There are so many parts and items to choose from that at times it can get overwhelming. That is where simple research or talking with veteran players can come in handy. They can give you one sided information at times or can be amazing people full of fun and crazy ideas. I mean I was just talking with a coworker today about it all and he had filled my slot on the team when I left for the service. I even borrowed some of his gear to try out some crazy combo ideas we both had since we both loved the Axe gun from Empire. That is an amazing little gun for its price. It sends so much paint down field that I shutter at being at the other end at times. I mean having a  gun around four hundred dollars that can overwhelm even the higher end markers of around a thousand dollars. Come on that is just impressive in its own there.  Impressive in its own there. Though I can say it can have a little better of a bold for starting out and not having such a large over sized starting barrel bore. Thus why you should change it out fast. But enough of me talking about just a single gun I have proof that it makes so much of a difference in people. I watch couples all the time go to courses and just shoot the snot out of each other or others just because they were full of anger. Just to have  a small ball of paint flying at you that may or may not bruise you is way better then dishes flying or a fist coming towards you. Besides that the adrenaline starts to kick in and you start to lose all thought of everything else in the world. All that is in your mind is where is the next person at. Where is that paint coming from and why are they all ganging up on me? These pop in your head all the time but just hearing your panted breathe as you hide behind a bunker ready to pounce on an unforgiving soul is just, well breathe taking in itself. You become tense in all your senses heighten much more then they have before. You become responsive as a cat in seconds. Well most do, some are very unaware of the world around them resulting in their downfall. Those are the ones that scream when they get hit. The heart starts to pump faster as you keep moving. The sweat drips down your brow as you stare off into the distance peering to find another enemy. The feeling of being alone in the area can only be overcome by the loud TWACK of a paintball hitting the wall next to you. The sharp sounds snaps you into action. Dropping to the ground as you begin to line your shot at the enemy. Just a simple pull of the trigger and all the situations you are having in life fly away with that ball. The splat is the conclusion that you have given up on the ideas and concepts of those situations. That you have finally reached clarity in that moment of awe. You then stand up not missing a beat moving towards the next bunker ducking low as paint flies over your head. Team mates calling out orders and locations as you adjust positions. Fast transitions, fast communication, fast thoughts, and fast relief of the world as you finally hear the end buzzer and your team has won against all odds. Walking from the field patting backs and smiling knowing it will start again here very shortly.

Typology and Writing

I took this series of strange questions that gave me a result of "ENFJ." This being said it described me as twenty-two percent Extravert, twenty-five percent Intuitive, twelve percent Feeling, and one percent Judging. Seems bad to say but I agree with most of these answers. The only one I think might be off a little bit is Judging. Because of my military job I tend to sit back and observe a lot of items about or around people judging them as well as sizing them up. Tends to be bad when my wife thinks I am just randomly staring at people in public places. Does make for some very interesting conversations between us as times. A few good knots on the shin as well.

Just by looking at this in real life compared to my writing styles it seems close to the same. I express a lot of my personnel feelings in my writings as well as judge all my work. Judging my work as I go is the worst. It tends to block my mental ideas on progression in the writing until that one single area is fixed to my current idea of the items concept. I may read the same paper a week later and judge it differently seeing items I need or want to change. Having seen this through just a test of strangely set up questions is odd to me. Taking the Jung Typology test was fun though. It made me think about some of the answers I had to give. Giving a simple yes or no to some questions that you would like to elaborate on your specific choice is hard when not given that chance to begin with.

Though as I had said earlier I think the judging section was a bit lacking and as my point has shown in the above it lacks in my writing as well as world. I judge my work way to much and need to break that barrier. The idea of "free writing" seems very useful in my mind.

Life, Chaos, and Love

Just a simple start to a large and possibly complex blog. Created originally for English but could spawn into something more over time if well groomed and maintained. Grooming a blog, seems a little weird giving life to just words. Words though can spawn life, chaos, and love. All huge aspects of the human way of life. A single person can start a war while another can end it.

The flow of words just ceases to stop amaze me.
