Oh Shark, how I loathe thee....

Alright, you'd figure after weeks of bowling on a modified shark pattern, I'd be showing some improvement in terms of scores. Well, today was just a case of moving backwards not forwards. Today was, well, HORRIBLE. Of course the way I started out says differently. After throwing a Hambone (four strikes in a row for those not following), I'd thought I'd shoot pretty well the first game. Then, window. 9 Spare. Window. Uh oh, things starting to head downhill. I managed to throw a double to save myself somewhat, and I began thinking, "Well, at least I'll shoot 200." Big mistake. I ended up missing a 7 pin(just one of many I would miss), and ended up with a mediocre 196 game, and a lot of flak from my mom. Next game, not any better. Two more missed 7 pins, plus a missed 3 pin(seriously how do I miss that one????) and I end up with a 163. How bad was that second game? Well, my buddy Kohei Somera, who's about 9 years younger than I, shot a 216, easily kicking my a##. Pretty sad, yah? After I finished crying (I kid.....maybe), I reset myself and was ready to kick a## the third game. Once again, my brain fooled me. After starting of with 3 spares and a double, I felt like I had some hope. HAHAHAHAHA. My ineptitude at spare shooting today continued, as I missed a 10 pin, and another 7 pin (my 4th one today if you're keeping count). So, I ended that game with a 181, and ended up with a 540 series. Oh shark how I loathe thee......
