Spring Break Blog!

Over spring break I really didnt do much. I golfed on Monday at the Lenawee Country Club, which was fun but I then got a MASSIVE headache from being in the sun so long and that eventually lead to the chills and me being sick for a few days.  It was not a fun start to my spring break.  It did get better though, I bowled later on that week and hung out with a few people.  My birthday was also during spring break and it was held surprisingly at the bowling alley!  That Saturday morning I had bowling league, it was my last day of bowling league also, so it was cosmic bowling and the music was blaring, pizza was handed out and before I knew it my mom comes in with my birthday cake! I was so surprised and happy that I actually was surprised for once on my birthday! I bowled a 300 and a 278 that day also ( it was 9 pin no tap, so don't tell anyone..).  That is what my spring break consisted of, all in all a good week.

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.
