League Bowling
I just started league bowling tonight. This is the first time I’ll be bowling in a league. So I’ll have an official average and all that. If I ever get crazy lucky and bowl a 300, I’ll even get a ring.. somewhat similar to a high school class ring. I sucked tonight though. I bowled a 130, 98 and a 161. I have a lot of work to do. I think our team might have won tonight though. That what really counts for me. I just want to win every week. I guess it’s my competitive nature. I don’t care about all the tournaments or any of that. I’m not the type of person who will bowl shitty in league so my handicap will be so bad that I will do good in tournaments. I want to win everytime… in the moment. Yet, it’s all fun though. This is the Sansei league. I guess there is no more Nisei league since that generation is getting old now. So all that’s left is the Sansei league. I was a bit disappointed on the turnout though. I guess there is just not a lot of people who want to continue on. It’s the times I guess.
I’m glad the Macias family joined in though. They are really good people. Daniel even gave me an invitation to his birthday party at the bowling alley next Saturday. I will try my best to attend this.
Tonight was also Karaoke night with Chris. I didn’t have time to sing since our league ended so late. We started late since it’s the first night and the teams had to be sorted out and all that before we could even start.
There’s one thing that kind of bugs me though. After everyone bowls a frame, it’s common that whoever is nearby, gives a high-five or a fist bump to the person. I don’t have a problem with that at all. The thing that bothers me is that that every fist bump or high five is so weak. I’m use to giving hand slaps at such force, everyone within 50 feet would hear it. Instead, it’s just a little pat.. and that just seems so gay. So I will try my best to make as much noise as possible whenever I slap someones hand.
