Is God trying to mess with me?
In all 3 of my hobbies in the past month or two, I've recently come as close as possible to reaching my goals without actually reaching them.
In bowling, I wanted to break 200. Sunday, I scored 199. I knew I needed 8 pins on my last throw.. I made 7. How I made 7 strikes 3 spares and then only made 7 pins is beyond me. I had the manager print out my score and I put it on the refridgerator.
In pool league, I wanted to make 50 balls in 20 innings in 9 ball. I made 49. The last missed ball wobbled in the pocket and sat there. I could have thrown my pool cue.
In racing, I wanted to run a 9 by the end of '08. I ran a 10.001 in the blue rocket ship-really no other way to describe it at this point. When I saw the time on the board I took my helmet off and threw it into the passenger floor board. I knew that was going to be my only run. They kicked me off for lack of safety equipment... again.
And to completely change the subject... in the next 45 days I plan to lose 20 lbs, save money to buy that HUGE tv I want and put a cage in the car so I can actually race legally. Of course the tax return will pay for most of that, but anyway this means less going out and more treadmilling and stuff. Day 1 began at midnight!
