If there were to be a zombie apocalypse what would you do? This seems to be just science fiction but is actual a common topic among many people around the world. A huge incident a few years back in Miami made everyone rethink their concept of zombies. Even persons at Harvard Medical are in the middle of it all with studies.
With it being such a common part of American way of life why is it weird to ask the question? There should be no wrong to asking the question. It should kind of be like a second nature topic. Though it is still someone far fetch it can still be relevant. The person asking does not need to be labeled as weird or crazy. They can just be labeled as thinking outside of the common norm.
That thinking could easily help many people in the future. It may be something else before zombies. It may be a huge disaster. Well that one guy you thought was weird because he stocked up supplies and did survival training will be the one to help you. He might be the one after a hurricane to have food in a few miles. He may be the only one with drinkable water or the ability to start a fire.
The facts stand that those people are not counted as normal and just prepared but as crazy and weird. They are not seen as part of the norm just because they want to be prepared. Well seeing it from the military point of view it shows the prepared are the better suited. They are the ones that survive and thrive.
So try and rethink your concept of these people. Give them the chance.

The End
There is always that question about "if it is your last day on Earth what would you do?" Or "it is the last day of the Earth, what will you do?" I am sure that not many people would all think of the same answer to this. Many would say go to Church, others to a bar, and then the odds and end stuff.
I know I would stop by at the Church before I head off to do my odd end stuff. There would be a little bit of videogame play for starters. I would chill for a little bit with all my buddies from around the world as we yelled at the screen messing each other up. If it is the end I would like some laughter and joy first. Then we can move onto a huge chunk of the day with the family. All of us can get together.
We would most likely go and start a big huge bonfire with a bbq. The smell of ribs filling the air as we try and get enough on the giant grill of ours. The kids running around screaming with squirt guns after each other. There are so many things we could do at that family event. I of course would hug and hold my little daughter.
Coming down to the end of the day me and the wife would lay out daughter down. Read a small story to her before she goes out. Finally a little bit of cuddle time between the wife, dog, and I. Hopefully the end of the world will not be insane and can just disappear as we all fall into a deep sleep. Joyful thoughts before it ends.

Energy
I have been told today that I do not need so much Monster. Why can I not drink them? Well apparently they are completely horrible for me and I should never touch them. Seems a little weird when the person telling me this is standing in front of my desk with a Redbull in their hands. Come on, I do not see a set of wings growing out on your back like they claim. I do however see a set of horse growing out of a person who has not had their Monster yet that day.
Saying this you might agree. Some people get so utterly angry when they do not have caffeine in them. Those are the ones that are all kinds of addicted to it. They may drink Redbull, Monster, Amp, or Rockstar. That means nothing in the final end of the addiction to the rush produced by the ingredients. True some affect others in different ways then yourself, but they are still an affect.
They all come down to a lot of the same ingredients when you look at them closely. Taurine, guarana extract, and ginseng extract are just a few of the common main ingredients. They get posted all over most cans when they are in them. Monster even puts them in big green letters around the top of the can. So why is it that one person can say another is way better then another. It is all a personal opinion, not really facts. Facts can be backed where as opinions can not.

Apps Away
We all live with some form of cell phone on us in this modern day. At least most Americans do. There will always be those select few that do not. At times I wish I were them. Cell phones go off nonstop with game requests from people.
Either the game is sending messages to you, or you have Facebook linked to your cell phone and the game requests ping on there. So many times I have heard people complain about the requests. Or the even better ones is when someone tells everyone on Facebook that they will strangle the next person that sends them a dumb game request. I know no one will do that but still it is insane.
Then you get all the competition between those people that do play the games and want to be the best out of all their friends. Just dollar after dollar until are sent into the game until you look into your accounts and go "WOW!" The money can fly out of your pocket so fast. A prime example is that guy on the internet that spent over five hundred dollars on Candy Crush. Come on now. Who would allow themselves to spend that much on a game?
Seems like I am ranting, but there are valid points behind all this. I have played some of these games. They are made to almost be completely unbeatable unless you spend that money in the real world to win it. They want the money you make to compensate for their free app. It is not a free app if it is set up that way. They can easily make their money back in a matter of seconds with how people buy items on their games.

Crazy Drive
Totally found out that no one should ever try and drive out of Alaska in the winter time. Yes I said winter and yes I said no one else should do it. That was on of the scariest times of my life. I have jumped out towers, down buildings, out helicopters, but this one takes the cake.
You watch all the shows saying Alaska is the wild. That is so very true in certain places. Those ice road truckers are part of that insanity. Twice on my drive out they almost drove me off a cliff. Then another one almost made me crash into a herd of caribou. Scariest moment while in Alaska was that one.
I was in my truck driving down the road on seven inches of ice in two-wheel drive. Out of my rear view mirror I see a big truck flying at me and my buddy in his small car behind me. Course the first thought in my mind was "oh no he isn't." I mean I was tarring at a herd crossing the road. He just gets closer and closer until finally he zooms past us. Slowing down I put on my four ways, lights on high, and slow way down. He whites us both out. Just for an idea on his speed, I was going sixty-five before he passed. Luckily the herd had crossed just before he ran into them. Still so scary.
Then you look a little further into the trip. We left lunch in a small town after filling up both our tanks. Yea well, we had no idea the drive we were about to start through Canada was going to be pitch black, torn up roads, no signal for nine hours, and raining. Yea ice and rain do not mix well at high speeds like what we were doing. Add in some moose out of no where and you have our trip. Slamming on the breaks at seventy miles per hour and in a heavy rain on ice do not mix well. A cow and the bull were just standing in the road watching us drive towards them.
So again I say DO NOT DRIVE out of Alaska in the winter time.

Here and There
So many times I have gone on vacation. There is no words to truly describe some vacations. I am sure others can agree with me on this. Time and time again they all look back on their vacations with either joy or sorrow.
It happens so often. There are so many times I have gotten mad during a vacation. Just wanting to strangle the little siblings. Fights nonstop with parents or the annoying sister. I watched Mulan the entire drive out to California. That I can say was one of my worst car ride ever. Of course then mom was sick half the time too.
Yea, there is another part. The constant road sickness people have with their trips. Sounds bad to think a trip went bad because someone kept throwing up. Sure it means there are a lot of stops and cleaning, but does not mean it is ruined. Just move on it with it all. Help them out and move on. There will be better memories once you reach the destination later.
See where I say there are times we just have sorrow in our vacations. Of course then when you go back home you get to talk all about it and be all happy. The pictures of joy, laughter, and smiles. No matter the experiences getting there there are almost always better memories brought forth from the vacation's destination.

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.
Believing paintball is an event that all should try once at least seems like a very selfish credo. So wording it a little better to show it in a "belief" manner I guess I could reword it. I believe paintball in its whole is a sport that all should try due to its overall benefits. Or maybe we can say it is an amazing game that I think you need to do. Seems there is no full way to actually express it without it seeming selfish. Given factors that influence the stated may make it easier to see as a credo.
The availability of friends to do a game with you is all the better. Though this is not the given fact needed. Anything done with friends is fun to begin with, in most cases. The ability to rapidly create friends in the rapid changing game. That is the fact we strive for and I speak on. Moving forward we still see friends make it all the better, but the memories we develop make it sore above all else. Emotions pinned to an event repeating within the mind through vivid imagination years later, yes. Taking from here we adjust to the physical aspects of the game. It can be done by all but on a full scale can become an amazing physical work out.
Having taken many people out to play the game for the first time I have seen them all change their view of it in a remarkable way. They adjust every second. Fear starting at the whistle to screaming for everyone to get on the field and start the next game. The people change in their personalities rapidly as they begin to adjust to others and gain friends with people that were complete strangers moments ago. Strangely the concept of a small ball flying at a person from an unknown area makes them want to befriend that person? Presuming they will not do it again next game. Sadly they do, but no hard feelings are shown. There is laughter and joy showed instead after rush of the game and loosing go away. I believe that seeing all the people play together adapt a common ground to develop possibly lasting relationships. Just seeing this happen reminds us of our previous times.
Times having pasted way away in a far part of our mind it comes back. All the people speak of the day, its events, and of course the bruises. These people playing now know the joy as all the people deep into the game know. Having been deep into the game I know the feelings they are beginning to enjoy. I have so many memories of games and people it is surprisingly a very long conversation to start with me. Hours of talks and actual intellectual discussions has happened with many another players just as in depth as I. The math comes to the surface. Yes math, even memories of math and trig taught to you through basic schooling can be seen in actions and future topics of paintballers. They all show their memories at every second of being on the field. Mistakes are taught thru pain and further improvements and memories are thru constant actions of positive reinforcement. Reinforcing comes in more then just the memories.
The bodily aspects shown from players is a whole new topic. You can see the true players or the recreational ones. Saying this I mean no disrespect to either party. I am just showing there is a difference and it should be obvious. The constant playing of people deep prove to show a much better physical body in many aspects. Reaction times, speed, reflexes, stamina, breathing control. The list goes on. The best comparison is an athlete for a normal sport. Though I understand not everyone will be to this standard. Hopes of having a person play one time and fall in love as I believe in is where I am talking. The ones that continue to return are the ones that begin to gain physical change as well as positive outlook on memories, and the gaining of social benefits. Constant play shows a large amount of dedication and will pay off physically, emotionally, mentally, and socially.
Just seeing these final words prove that paintball can be a great aspect for any person. It being cheap just to rent a gun and go play for the overall health benefits are immense. I believe that all people should try paintball at least once. With this I am sure they will improve by gaining friends, gain remarkable memories, and get a good work out. Even if it is only once it will change the overall social view of the game and allow others to easily choose to try it themselves.
