It’s been a long time since I’ve written on here… and to be honest, it kind of annoys me. I really like to write, it’s kind of like meditation sometimes… gets rid of stress, gives me a place to reflect and in a way… I get to talk to my other personality ;-). Often seems like there’s not enough time to sit down, in a relaxed enough way (I have to know I have a lot of time), and just let it flow. Well… I’ve got a snow day today, it’s really coming down out there. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful… I love watching the snow fall and looking up into that spotted, endless, white shower. If it’s going to be cold… I want it to be white outside. Not that dark and dreary cold, when there’s no snow. Even on a snow day there seems to be things taking up time. I went out to shovel my 4 wheel drive Mustang out… yeah right, more like slip and slide Mustang. Traction control, my ass. Also, shoveled around my motorcycle… that might actually drive better than the Mustang in the snow. Of course that’s not it… had to see two women shoveling their cars and go do those spots also. My 41 year old back thanks me. I keep repeating that any exercise is good exercise, well almost.

I’ve got so much stuff I could write about here, tough to know where to begin. Since the last time I’ve written there’s been a lot that’s happened.

Things to write about (not sure which of the following to start with, any suggestions??)

1) Went on a vacation/ cruise with my buddy Paul during the summer. Paul and I played on ThunderStruck together and he also used to come to some of the events when I had Knightmare Tango. He played along side us and at 6’ 7”, it could be said that he played over us . Awesome guy and a great friend. South Beach and then a Caribbean Cruise, totally awesome vacation. Yes we worked out like animals, while on the cruise, about 7 out of the 10 days… got pictures to prove it. It’s enjoyable for us, so shushhh.

2) Phenix Paintball’s Russian Front game at USANA. Ya know, people often don’t learn from their mistakes but this was a rare case in just the opposite. I had felt that last year’s NJ Nam was over crowded for the field size, a serious bottle neck. Just wasn’t happy with the game. These guys sponsored me last year but I’ve got to be honest and I think they respect that. They listened to every suggestion after this game, they took these suggestions and truly thought them through. They then implemented serious changes, enlarged the field and addressed countless other things. The subsequent game, Russian Front, was awesome… I really enjoyed it. They ran a really great, innovative game. Bravo to Phenix, can’t wait for the next game.

3) I get emailed questions constantly and I mean constantly… about what gear to use, how to become a great day player, how to become a great night player, how I get into the shape I do for paintball, what I eat, what to eat, what my workouts consist of, what type of workouts to do, tactics, strategy, invitations from teams and promoters to events all over the country, and the list goes on and on. I love helping people, I really love helping people and I don’t want this to come off as mean… but I am extremely busy… I teach Physical Education and Health, train people for a variety of sports (often do some of the workouts with them), ref (at times during the year), do security for athletic events (at times during the year), do mixed martial arts about 4 times a week, go to the gym about 3-4 times a week, play paintball, hang out with friends, see family, go on dates and all that’s associated with relationships. I should add to my business and start some kind of online consulting aspect and have a membership or something… at least then I could do that in place of maybe the reffing and security. I say this in the most respectful way I can guys… it’s not a magic pill that makes someone good at a sport or something, it’s a lot of hard work and not something that can be conveyed in a single email. It is a way of life, it is a quest for excellence, it been a life long effort.

4) Joining team ESP from Sherwood Forest Indiana.

5) Playing in the TTPL this past year.

6) Playing with both my bro’s… Paco, Seth and our excellent adventures, in paintball, last year

7) I was thinking about writing a part 2 for “A True Warrior?”

Well, what do you want to hear about?? Email me at dave@warrioronetraining.com or comment on here. I may ignore you and write what I’m in the mood for but who knows
