Other Hobbies

(my other obsessions)

Paintball:
Paintball is another hobby of mine that I enjoy very much.  It allows me to go out in the woods and hunt people!!! Now what could be more fun than that with the exception of model railroading of course. :)  I am the team captain of a Paintball team based in Saint Paul, Minnesota, my handle is Bloated Dead Cow (it fits me).  Many members on the team are also members of the Minnesota Army National Guard.  So this hobby also does serve a purpose that allows us to refine some of the skills we use in the Infantry.  Of course paintball is a game and is meant to be fun.  This is where our focus lies.  2005 has been a rough season for the team as military and other life issues has not allowed the team to play much in 2005.  We are looking forward to a more fulfilling season for 2006.  To learn more about this side of me and the team, go to our website home and follow the link for the Paintball Team:

Online Computer Gaming:
This is what started the whole cow themed thing for myself....it is a long story and it is posted somewhere on the website :).  Mad American Cows started as a online gaming clan (team) for the PC computer game Return to Castle Wolfenstein.  As of late (2004-2005) MAC the online gaming clan has not been very active.  There just have not been any new games to draw us all back together not to mention the time factor.  To learn more about the Mad American Cows Online Gaming Clan go our website home and follow the link for the online gaming clan.
