On this past Wednesday, I wanted to do something, but I was feeling pretty lazy at the time... when my brother came home, he was going to head down to AMF Parkway Lanes to test the new ball he purchased. I decided to tag along because I didn't feel like sitting in the house... once we got there, I started to watch the bro, and I thought to myself, "Man, I should've bowled... it'll be alright. I'm fine with watching." Well, a few minutes later, Mike had called me into the Pro Shop at the center (he works there) and asked me if I wanted to try a reactive ball. I figured, "Ah, what the hell?" After testing out the demo ball he had me use, we both went back into the shop and he started to get the measurement for my hand... I guess it was decided that I was getting a bowling ball that night. There have been talks of me getting one, but I decided to wait a few months before purchasing one... well, the wait is over now. I could've paid for the ball, but then he started to get a bag, a pair of shoes, a towel and a grip sack... I asked, "We're not getting all of this now, are we?" He responded, "Hell, yeah, dude!" I already knew I couldn't pay for all of that, and I told him that, but he and my brother paid for it, with this being a "birthday present," even though it's in January. :P It's definitely different from using a house ball, but I'm loving it. I've been wanting to go bowling a lot more now so I can practice. :)
