Boxing, Muay Thai, and to a slightly lesser extent, Brazilian Jiujitsu (my ground game sucks). A few days ago, I did some sparring, and threw so many punches that I gassed myself near the point of collapse.

Outside of martial arts, I do running (high intensity interval training), work out at the gym, go rock climbing once a month, and host a radio show at a closed circuit radio station at my college (used for students to get experience before actually going on air).

it could just the paintball sites I live near but...there is no way in hell that I'd ever go paintballing again. For the cost of 100 rounds of ammo, I could buy myself a relativly average airsoft gun. And, all the people there...crap loads of 9y/o swarming around my knees. Just so. fekking. annoying.
I just find airsoft so much more fun. And the lack of kills - its not for lack of trying - i.e hiding in a tree for 2 days...
I actually racked up a nice ammount of kills at one site, defending a 'bunker' for 2 hours, with 3 other guys. I was the last one to survive.
Airsoft isn't all milsim'ing. we do sometimes run out and shoot 'em in the head.

I also enjoy taking to the fields of airsoft, and failing to get any "kills" in a 2 day game session....

I also love airsofting
Ah, Airsoft...heh. You guys should try paintball, it hurts a lot more but it's oh so much more fun.
Rather than lying in wait for hours, in paintball, the mentality is more along the lines of:
[HEADING=2]"RUN OUT THERE RIGHT NOW AND SHOOT THEM IN THE FUCKING FACE!"[/HEADING]
Well we have a whole forest to ourselves and night time games is amazing, especially in a thunderstorm xD
But the whole run out and shoot em in the face thing can be done with airsofting, we have another part of the forest full of barrels, houses and so on for CQC matches.
makes pyros more useful and scary too.

I write, take photography, or watch movies or anime.
Sometimes I play Texas Hold 'Em or chat on different forums.

Ah, your problem lies in the fact that you're going to popular paintball fields. Those places charge out the ass for paintballs, not to mention admission and the fact that you only end up getting into one or two games because of all the goddamn people.

You need to find a much smaller, obscure paintball field. These tend to have "Bring.Yer.Own.Paint" policies (You can buy 2,000 rounds for $20 online), and they charge very little for admission. And if you go on a weekday with your friends, you'll be the only ones there.

Taekwondo is the main thing, though I'll also do some writing and engage in various forms of socialization with my friends and girlfriend.

Well, this one is dead. I suppose three pages is quite alright for me, considering my posts never do too well. I just wish that people would post in threads more based on their content, not based on how fast you can reply to them in the ever-ongoing quest to get your post count higher than everyone else on the site. Also, another thing that bothers me is people just posting on threads because of who wrote them. I'm maybe not that well known on this site because of my lurking habits, but I've actually been here longer than most of the current regulars.
And another thing.........

[sub][sub]By the way, don't post on here anymore, because that would just ruin my sob-story. Can't you see I'm trying to become an internet martyr?[/sub][/sub]
