This past weekend we were invited to attend Quincey and Stephanies wedding in Pasadena CA. Hundreds were there to celebrate their union. Among them, most of Dynasty and close paintball friends who we are called 2nd family.
Arnold Fransisco of Infamous was the best man. "Q" and Arnold have been friends and teammates since before Oakland Assassins. Among the groomsmen were Todd Martinez and Tyler "the Machine" Michaud.
Among the friends were, Yosh Rau, Angel Fragoza, Opie, Ryan, "SK", Nicky Cuba, Injun John, Brad, BC Jingles (Stoned Assassins), "little" John Marques and Chris Corcino formerly Hybrid and now Modefyd Sports and Contract Killer Clothing.
All were reluctant to talk about the future of the team, and the future of paintball. However, this did not stop the overall mood of comrade-re and all night toasts and laughter among friends.
Arnold Franssico, who has played on Las Vegas LTZ spoke briefly about playing with the new formed team and said that it has definitely made him aware of his skill as a paintball player. He believes that he will train harder as an athlete to be the best he can in such a short lived sport.
Brian "BC" Cole once a dominant player on Dynasty 7-man and X-ball squad talked briefly on his retirement and looking toward the future. Now into real-estate, the odd awareness of growing up is now very clear. Paintball in the days of old gave us the curse of never growing up and a gift of staying free and living the dream on a field of competition and childlike comrade-re. On the rare, only when leaving, do you see the light of growing up.
Don's slit your wrist just yet. The future while dim, is now getting interesting.
