So, it was the Chameleon Monday night. I tried and tried to take the advice given to me, which had worked the week before as well. Needless to say I was struggling and getting more frustrated by the second. About the 8th frame of Game 2, I said "screw it!!! I am gonna do what I do" I finish strong and shoot a whopping 145 after shooting 133 the first game.

I start game 3, I am standing 34, hitting 17 at the arrows and breakpoint of 8 with the strongest ball in my bag. I am just plain aggravated and decided if I am going to bowl like [censored] I may as well go out my way.

First frame I go solid 9 pin spare. This just frustrated me even more because it was solid and flush. I stay with my line and Hammer out the next 8 in a row, some light, some high, one brooklyn but hey I am carrying at least. So now I am going into the tenth with a shot at 290 in PBAX. The league has pretty much stopped bowling to watch my finish, and oh boy, I sure didn't disappoint them.

So yeah, I hit 14 instead of 17, the ball gets out to the 1 board board and hangs, and hangs, and hangs........10 PIN!!!!! ONLY THE 10 PIN!!! brickwall brickwall brickwall oops oops mad mad

So I spared it up and carried another brooklyn strike to finish with 261. Jeez I need to learn how to bowl and more important control my emotions.

Heh, I love stuff like that, eh. I was in a junior tournament, and it was in the last game, and I was out of it and I knew that, but I was bowling well, I had 7 in a row or something going. And on the last shot, for whatever reason, I just missed it entirely at the bottom and put it in the gutter. Was very strange. I think the key to the emotion part is to not get angry . Getting pumped up and stuff is all part of the game, and I think it's a good part of it all. I did that this year in my spring league, I had the front 10, and was extremely nervous going for my 11th shot. But I threw a good ball and left a 10 pin for a 289. (yeah, I missed it. keh.)
