paintball cures the anger

May 7th, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in Misc.

Now that I’m working somewhere that I’m not super angsty all the time, and sending Jenni instant messages about my former boss like “WHY WON’T HIS HEAD SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODE?”, I don’t really feel as angry as I used to. That’s a ginormous relief, because I don’t really like being so angry all the time. And while I did want to hug my former boss so hard he would stop breathing, I don’t think I’d ever want to kill someone.

The only other time prior to that where I remember being so angry was when my grandma died, and you know what helped with that? Blasting a paintball gun all over my parents’ backyard. At the time, my brother had just recently bought one, and by the time my grandpa and I were done releasing some anger, my dad’s wheelbarrow was covered in yellow and white paint. What can I say? Firing off some rounds of paint balls makes a person feel so destructive, and yet so absolutely harmless…

I can’t help but think that it’d be pretty fun to put on some goggles (and other various safety equipment), get hooked up with some spyder paintball markers and chase all my homies through a field blasting them to kingdom come. With paint, of course. We made tentative plans a year or two ago to get a big group together and take over a local Paintball Shootin’ Place, but I can’t remember why it fell through. We should probably schedule it again, though, because nothing says I Love My Friends then splattering a load of paint all over them.

$41 richer and less dusting to do

Back when I worked part-time at Best Buy, I’d head over every Tuesday on my lunch break to the closest Best Buy store and buy all the new releases, and whatever other movies I thought I needed that week. The end result? Over 400 DVDs. Know how many of them haven’t ever been opened? Probably over 100.

I took some of them, along with some CDs I found laying around, into Half Price Books today to sell them. I wasn’t using them, and they were just taking up room. I walked out with $41, which in the grand scheme of thing, isn’t really that much. But it was pretty awesome to get rid of stuff that I’m not using and don’t need.

I’m probably gonna end up taking the rest of it somewhere, too. Clearly if I’ve had a DVD for 3+ years (that’s how long it’s been since I quit Best Buy) and I haven’t ever opened it, I really don’t have a need for it.

Even if that does mean getting rid of things like the first season of the Osbournes and a copy of the movie Murderball. I don’t even know why I bought those!
