Well, I didnt want to go back there after being laid-off in a pretty brutal way, but found myself in Willowbrook again a couple weeks ago.  Well, i was talkin to the manager, and he said there was a spot open to bowl with my #1 idol of all time, Pete Weber.  I jumped on it so fast!  So, the day came, and i was really excited, but hadnt bowled in a long time.  anyways, bowled with pete for the first game, and he seemed to be a really nice guy.  we were talkin about his trip to hawaii and seemed down to earth, unlike what alot of people say.  so, got it started in practice with the first three balls for strikes. 

It feels really good when you can show off your score to someone older than you to prove that you are better.  The guys i bowled with on the pair were really nice, except for one who gave me alot of unnecessary crap.  First game came, he had the first couple strikes, but at the end of the game, i struck out in the 10th to save my 206 game and beat him by a pin.  Good feeling.  So, the second game, idk what happened, but i just kinda fell off and really couldnt find a good line to play.  one of my shots in the 6th frame was flush, and left me with an 8-10. yes, an 8-10! i just lost it.  missed an easy bucket pickup in the 7th and ended with a disappointing 163 game.

oddly enough though, i didnt go crazy, i actually brushed it off, and what do ya know...  pull off a 278 3rd game and place 2nd overall in the tourney!  It was an awesome feeling.  i got my line quick, followed it and voila.  i hit the first 10, and on the 11th, i was shaking.  it just moved a half second too soon and went a little bit high.  left the 6-10 and got the 10 pin.  Oh well, i wasnt upset that i didnt finish 1st, that went to forssberg, and rightfully so, he bowled awesome with a 726 scratch or something.  Props to him. as for me, College comin on Aug 22.  GO HUSKERS!!
