Name: Holliday

General interests other than paintball: I love to look up lavish things on the internet, be it: cars, homes or watches and just imagine that I actually have the ability to purchase such items. I'll click " add to cart" go all the way to the final process and then cancel the transaction, that is typically when the depression kicks in. It’s a vicious cycle.

I really don’t believe in superstitions or even luck for that matter but I'll make something up.
Before any big day of paintball.. When im in the hotel room bathroom,for about 7 minutes I remove my boxer briefs multiple times in front of the mirror while listening to "return to innonence" by Enigma. I repeat this ritual until I feel the fit is just right.
