Hi Guys!
I hope you had a lovely weekend. I had a lot of fun- going hiking, playing tennis and being outside a lot. I hope you really enjoy my feature here in this week’s LIfe & Style, in their eco-friendly section since this week is Earth Day!
I even tried something new today for the FIRST time- paint ball! I don’t think I would ever play again, but it was an interesting experience, to say the least. I got dragged in by friends that wanted to play, and who have been playing weekends during the filming of the movie, but I don’t think I would ever go on my own! You know the saying, “Do something at least once a day that scares you.” Well this experience certainly took me out of my, um, element.
The balls go around 200 miles and an hour before exploding into a shot of neon colored paint. Admittedly, I sort of hung at the back of the pack and tried to shoot from afar- but really my main goal was to keep myself from getting hammered down by one of the 50 crazies on the other team that had semi-automatic paint ball guns! I am a vegan for gosh sake, and shooting at other human beings is not something, even in a game setting, is bewildering to me. Like a live video game – except it can actually really hurt when you get hit!
But I welcome all new experiences as a way to grown and learn and see others’ perspectives- in this case a glimpse of a soldier’s perspective! At least I was on the same team as my friends, so I didn’t have to shoot at anyone I knew.
Afterwards, I fed everyone a nice big raw vegan dinner, which is far more up my alley! My motto is “Make raw food, not war.”
Well, I can never complain about my life being predictable! 🙂
Have a wonderful start to your week! Om Shanti, Kimberly
Fear not! No that is NOT a terrorist!!!! It's....
me! Underneath all that craziness. The face mask keeps you from getting pounded in the face by a paint ball coming at you at 200 miles per hour. You always have to try new things, even if you only try them once. 🙂 I was as much a fish out of water playing paint ball today as I've felt in a long, long time!
