Nothing Better

There is nothing better than the feeling of that pure bowling shot, perfect balance, the perfect speed, the sound of all ten bowling pins falling, the walk back to your seat like you own the bowling alley for a split second, there IS NOTHING better.  The feeling of accomplishment is great, and you can relax because that frame is complete and you can concentrate on the next frame.

My doggy after a long and hard day!! Isn't she just pathetic :P

Famous Person

If I could meet any famous person that I wanted it would probably be Chris Barnes.  He is one of the best bowlers, and I feel that if you would meet him on the side of the street he would be the same person and have the same character qualities as if he was bowling with you.  He helps out a lot with youth bowlers and gives quite a lot back to the community from what I have read.  It would be quite an honor to meet him in person.

March is Reading Month!

My favorite children is I'll Love You Forever.  It is my favorite children's book because my mom used to read it to me as I fell asleep each night, and it would always calm me down if I was having a bad day.  Going back and reading it today makes me really sad and choked up because of all the memories that are in that book for my family. 

Teenagers today just do not like to read because it is not something visibly entertaining like a video game or a computer.  You have to actually use your IMAGINATION while reading, which is something that children of today's society has lost a grasp on.  I admit that I am one of the those kids, partially because I do enjoy video games, but also because I have no time to fit reading into my busy schedule.  To get teenagers interested in reading once more I believe it would take all parents to take away game systems or buy magazines or books that are involved in what these kids play.  I know for a fact that there are books that incorporate video game characters.

My biggest Pet Peeve

My biggest pet peeve is when I am at the bowling alley and people do not use common courtesy when they are on the lanes.  What I am talking about is when people rush up to the lanes and do not wait for another bowler that was previously up to bowl.  I get very annoyed and upset, but I just sit back patiently and wait for this rude person to be done with their frame.  Nothing grinds my gears more than those instances.

Friends

When I usually make a friend it is because they have the same interests as me.  They would have to play video games, possibly play the same sport, joke about the same things I would and generally be nice to me.  That is how I have always met my friends and it has worked out very well so far.  There is not a set number of friends that I have, everyone is usually my friend because I am friendly to them.  I only have a couple of best friends though that know me very well and it is that way because I am not a very open person, I am usually quiet around a crowd of people and open towards friends. Not everyone on Facebook is my "friend" it is just the idea of adding acquaintances around the school that you pass in the hallway everyday.  It is not uncommon for someone in the school to add everyone, because it is just a friendly gesture.  Who knows maybe they will become more than acquaintances after you add them. These Facebook 'friends' can really be friends if they talk to me, share with me, write on my wall, ect.
