Bumper To Bumper

Not only does the phrase "bumper to bumper" refer to high-risk traffic where most accidents occur, it also applies to my bowling style. A couple weekends ago, EMU held a midnight bowling night (complete with neon lights and dance music) at our local bowling lanes. With my highly competative friends, bumpers were, without a doubt, a no go.

So more or less, my bowling style had drifted to a constant gutter ball status by the end of the first game. As a last attempt to save my suffering score, I pulled out a granny move where I just carried the ball to the line like I was holding a small child, bent over and rolled it. As the ball slowing made its way down the lane I held my breath with anticipation and the laughter from my friends echoed in the background.

As all of the pins came to a crash, the snobbery began and the retaliation for the doubts commenced. Bowing for my awesome bowling performance only increased the laughter and a round of high fives followed.

Weekends here at EMU are whatever you make them out to be. Either you can chill in your room and surf the infamous facebook or you can go out and have a good time with friends under the neon glow of Harrisonburg's Valley Lanes.

Now you guys go on and turn this computer off. Go outside, paint a picture..maybe even bake something...but whatever you do, look away from this screen because the long hours of staring at it just isn't healthy.

Have a fabulous day! Peace.
