Add comment December 1st, 2007

Ever since I saw the William Shatner film Spplat Attack! I have wanted to try paintball. The film pits William Shatner’s Federation against a Klingon Team. Giving the paintball warfare strategies a geek flare. It was a big event and has even brought the world of paintball to a new shall audience, like me.

There is a lot involved in getting reading to play this emerging sport. You need paintball guns , helmets with face guards, body armor, gloves and don’t for get the ammo. There’s a site called Ultimate Paintball they can hook you up. They have bundles which have “everything you need to get you into the game”. These bundles include spyder paintball guns, CO2 tanks, ammo hopper, deluxe harness, paintball tubes, battery and charger, heavy duty coiled remote, GXG Stealth Mask with Visor & Anti Fog Lens, plus a bunch of other stuff too. All under three hundred dollars. The set I was eyeing up was the Black Spyder MR2 Paintball Gun SNIPER Set, you’ll want to check it out for yourself. The set I was eyeing up was the Black Spyder MR2 Paintball Gun SNIPER Set, you’ll want to check it out for yourself. All you have to do is add a cool uniform and some friends to shoot.

So thanks to William Shatner the sport of paintball is not just for jocks any more. Even a geek can get into the game.

Prophetic Dreams

Last year I had a dream about one of my exes being in a automobile accident. They were driving a late model dark SUV and were T-Boned. The SUV flipped. It was bad possibly fatal. For weeks, even months, I felt like I lost someone close to me. So I tracked down the ex after fifteen years to see how they were doing, but I was only treated like a psychotic stalker [which I could hardly be if I waited fifteen years to hunt them down now could I?].

Well it turns out I had the interpretation wrong. The accident did involve a dark green late model SUV but it was me in the vehicle that hit that SUV. Since that accident a week ago I have been in severe pain due to the six broken ribs and numerous bruises.

I know that my ex would be happy to know I am the injured party in all this, especially after the way my request for info last year went down. I wonder if I wrote to tell them I am badly injured if they would consider that harassment even though contact was made a year apart? Knowing them yeah. But would the joy of knowing of my injuries out weigh the psychosis of thinking I am stalking them? Nah, they would most likely balance out and I would get a call from that cop friend again telling me to leave them alone, how childish and paranoid can you be to take a step like that. But this time mister officer could look up the police report on my end to know I am telling the truth.

Well, screw them and next time I dream they are in trouble we will have to assume the information is meant for me again and I will leave them alone.

Literally! Take a look at the world and the universe from a whole new perspective with the help of OpticsPlanet.com. The site has it all from telescopes and binoculars to nightvision goggles and sunglasses. They really are your one stop shop to find that perfect gift for any one interested in either the macroverse or the microverse. They have everything from telescopes to microscopes to meet anyone’s needs.

Personally, I would love just about anything from their online catalog. Except maybe the Raybans, I need prescription glasses, but they have those too. I have always had an interest in optics and different ways to see the world. Perhaps that is why I dabble in photography. I always wanted a telescope so I could hook up my camera back to it and take celestial photos.

Then when I was taking microbiology I got hooked on taking photos with the microscope. And last year I went to Philly to see a great photo exhibit from Nikon on taking pictures with the microscope. Boy, do I wish I had the opportunity to do similar work. Looks like OpticsPlanet.com could help me get there. All I need to do is raise the money.
