Something I Felt Like Writting

Writing for fun is not something I like to do often. This is a rare event and you shouldn't take a single word fro granted. I normally write to sort thing out in my mind. An overwhelming amount of thoughts can lead me to bad decisions, so I jot down what I'm thinking. It helps a bit, but that is not why I am writing now.

I have to think of a topic. This is something that never comes up when you are writing about something that is on your mind, the topic is there now you just have to write it down. I could choose anything books I have read, things I have seen, a fictional story I'd like to tell, but I think I am going to talk about.. Something. A vague term that is embodies what ever you wish.

Words are you to convey what we think about the world around us. The word 'Book' for example means 'a written or printed work consisting of pages glued or sewn together along one side and bond in covers', but it also invokes feelings and memories. If you had reading problems as a child you might find the word to have frightening properties. The same word could bring joy if you read a lot when you were younger. This might seem obvious or contradictory to what a word is for. I believe it gives even more to each word, not only to ones self but to the social structure they interact with. Curses have taken on a universal offencive feeling. They completely bypass the original definition and only have an emotional impact.

It is also true that some word do not have a external definition. 'Nature' means has no definition yet it is commonly used in everyday speech. It is still a valid word because the imagery carries with it is widely excepted. This aspect of speech is taken advantage of in poetry, song lyrics, comedy, movies, books... Just look for it. Become aware and you might get more out of every word.

Five Strikes

I know that some of you may be thinking that this may be a post about how I am a complete failure at picking up your so called 'chicks'. Or how I played baseball and somehow got five strikes. But that's dumb idea. I am both a babe-magnet and I've never gotten a strike hitting in baseball, I'm sort of a Babe Ruth. This is about the game with not only balls, but pins too. That's right. Bowling. I got five strikes. In bowling this is a good thing. They are worth not only ten points (one for each pin) but also the sum your current and next two frames. And not only did I get five, but they were back to back. So my first frame was worth 30 then another 30 and another then 20 then 10. A grand total of 120 after the first five frames. This all would have been rather amazing if I was good a bowling. But I'm not. I rarely break 100. Getting me a free pop and the praise of all my lesser bowlers. I choked on the 6th frame getting a 9 and sending me spiraling down into complete failer. I think my final score was a mere 174. Some people have told me that this experience has inflated my ego but I'm sure they are just jealous. After all not everyone can bowl well and they have to say things like it was good luck. I'd like to end this by saying that as a modest bowling-god that those that pray to me may obtain both 9 and spares. (Maybe even strikes.)
