This evening after work my fiancee and I are going bowling with my boss, his wife, and a few other coworkers. Since this outing was planned several weeks ago, I have been doing a lot of trash talking. More trash talking than is prudent I think. :smack:
Usually when I go bowling, I am doing good to break 100. However, for some completely insane reason I have been telling everyone at work, in glorious detail, by just how much I am going to beat them…this usually amounts to quite a few pins.
I was stressing out about this until last week when ESPN and several of the other ESPN channels started showing various PBA bowling events. I feel that by watching these shows, studying proper form, and trying to get a combover that looks just right, I stand a fighting chance of kicking some serious ass in bowling tonight.
Sure, actually going bowling and practicing might have been a better way to improve my skills, but who actually has time to practice? So, I am going into this evening with positive thoughts and fresh images of pro bowlers burned into my mind. I may not bowl a 300 tonight, but I am optimistic that bowling victory will be mine!
