*** I know there's probably some really bad errors in here.  I thought a
good approach was to write in English then try to "think it" in klingon
and translate it as I did that... below is the English so you know what
I was thinking.  This may very well be the longest and most complex
thing I've tried to do yet with Klingon but I figured that if I found
something to "apply" my knowledge to it would help and this seemed a
good subject.  Perhaps [I actually just thought /chaq/ and had to
backspace to change it to English... is this a good sign or something to
be scared of??? ;)] I'll write more stories about /rItlhmoQ may'mey/ to
help improve my skills.  Other than vocabulary, I can translate most of
what I see here back to English relatively easily... I look up the words
as I need them, but I seem to still have trouble going TO /tlhIngan Hol/
from English... I'm sure that with time and practice I'll get better.

Also remember I decided to translate "concept" so it may not translate
LITERALLY from one to the other.

Below is the English:
-----

In three days I will go into the jungle and battle my enemy.  My enemy
is also my friend.  My war is a game.  My game is paintball.  I will
fight honorably.  I will succeed.  My enemy will be defeated.

I will sneak through the trees, stalking my enemy.  My enemy will not
hear me.  I will carefully target my enemy.  My enemy will not see me.
I will fire.  My enemy will wear my paint.

Two years and 3 months ago I started playing paintball.  I liked it the
first time I played.  I bought my battle gear that day.

Two years ago I went to Oklahoma and played in the big D-Day game.  This
game had 600 warriors.  I was on the winning team.  I traveled 1700
miles to participate in this battle.  This was the best battle I have
participated in.

One year and 9 months ago I played in the world record game in PA.
There were 1800 players.  There were three teams.  Again I was on the
winning team.  I traveled 300 miles to participate in this battle.
There were many players at this game who cheated.  I will not return to
that place.

One year ago I played in the big D-Day game in Oklahoma again.  This
game had 1200 warriors.  I was on the winning team again.  Again I
traveled 1700 miles for this battle.

I have also played two games at Westpoint Military Academy the past two
years.  The 2001 game was great.  We had about 600 warriors on 3 teams.
This year there were 350 people and it rained.  We still had fun and we
will all return.

I play paintball every week.
