My thought of the day.......jealous bowlers - 06-08-2006, 05:10 AM

Why are bowlers a bunch of jealous crybabies? I play a little golf with friends from time to time and even though I really don’t like to play for much money, I don’t see as many golfers bitching and crying about someone else’s game. When a guy hits a good shot, everyone will tell him so. I guy makes a long put and everyone give him props and says things like “great read”. Yet, when I see bowlers, I hear all kind of bitching and complaining about how the “lefties had the nuts”, “he only scored because he’s a fluffer”. “if you can’t play 5th arrow, you didn’t have a chance”. #### like that is just sour grapes and bad sportsmanship.
I really respect the bowlers that knows that it will all equal out and even though the lefties might have it easy one day, they might not have #### the next.
You will be remembered for your character long after you’ve thrown you last Thunderstrike. Just keep your mouth shut and worry about yourself and your shot, you can’t control what others are doing. Be a man and be the first to shake someone’s hand after they’ve shot a good game or set. Everyone likes props so make sure you give them out so those same guys will give you props when you’re the one in the winners circle.
I don’t bowl anymore and I’m not sure why. I just don’t have the love for to where I WANT to be at the bowl or to throw a ball. Some of it has to do with always getting beat down for being a lefty. If I bowled bad, it was because I sucked. When a did bowl good, it was always because I had the nuts and the leftside was wide open. Funny how most of the time when I had good sets or games that I always had another lefty on my pair that didn’t hit it. If it was so walled up, shouldn’t anyone be able to score, after all, I suck, right?
Think about that the next time you go bowl a sweeper, tournament, or even league. Be a good sport and enjoy the fact that you are able to get out and compete. Think about those people that would give anything to have that freedom to go out and bowl if they wanted to. Think about how much of an ass that you look like the next time you bitch about what someone else is doing and the shot they have.
There was a guy from my hometown that was the best around but he was such an ass that nobody liked him or wanted to see him do well. He bitched every time he didn’t win and always blamed someone for his shortcomings. Everyone hated to be around him because of his attitude but because he could bowl, some people would put up with it for a little while before the realized that it didn’t matter if he bowled good, he was an ass and brought everyone down.
Enjoy the game and act like a man. We need more character on the lanes.
