  Bowling...

  i love bowling. bowled on a league when i was a kid for prolly 5 years, then didnt bowl much for prolly 10 years or better, but just got back into last fall. i know a lot of people probably think of bowling as "boring" and "not exciting," which doesnt surprise me, especially if one doesnt truly understand the game. bowling is more than just throwing a ball straight down an alley. did you know that there is an angle of entry that when the ball hits the pocket, it will strike nearly everytime? and if you were throwing a straight ball you would have to throw it from 2 lanes over?? thats why bowlers throw hook balls. then youve got the adjustments. ball speed, different balls, different hand releases, moving closer or farther away from the foul line, playing a totally different part of the lane. these are just a few adjustments that can be made if the lanes start to break down. thats what i love about the game. theres a lot more to it than "just throwing" a ball. so much of the game is mental, not physical. thne if you bowl on a PBA oil condition, crap! i just finished a PBA Experience league this summer, and let me tell you- i have an all new appreciation for the pros. those conditions are SICK! but anyway, thats my rant for the day.

  so whats everyone else think of bowling??

  My favorite TV show of all time...

  i think MacGyver is the greatest TV show of all time, personally. i mean, come on, it doesnt get any better. they say that the MAJORITY, not all, but the MAJORITY of the things he did in the show actually work. Mythbusters did a show dedicated to MacGyver a few months ago, and they were "busting" a lot of the things, but i think they suck haha. anyway, anyone who doesnt like MacGyver, youre entitled to your opinion, but youre prolly a communist anyway lol jk. maybe. i dunno. i dated a girl once who didnt like MacGyver. dunno how it lasted as long as it did haha. i started watching it with my dad when i was real little, so the show holds a special place in my heart. i think they shoulda came out with a movie or something. at least bring the show back on TV, you like MacGyver the Older Years or something. or maybe have MacGyver and then like a grandson or something. like the Young Indiana Jones. i mean c'mon. if they can bring friggin 90210 back, they can sure bring MacGyver back!!!! i hate 90210 too. ugh!! makes me throw up in my mouth....

  Mindfreak...

  anyone watch Criss Angel: Mindfreak?? the guys amazing. now i know a lot of people think its all fake and blah blah blah, but thats not the point. i know he cant walk on water, or friggin FLOAT between buildings. or walk through glass or levitate and god knows what else. but one has to admire the ability to make it SEEM as though he can do all of those things. i dunno maybe because i dabble in magic and sleight of hand i have a different perspective on it than most others...
