Slump to depression
« on: April 18, 2007, 02:14:13 AM »
Lately I have been in a slump.  I had a great 8 weeks and then a miserable 6 weeks.  One of my balls went completely dead.  So I went into my den to pull out something from the past that I scored well with to get me in a decent frame of mind.  I have a 6 foot rack with three shelves and it's almost full.  While searching I found my purple Vicious.  It was the only ball on the rack that had cracked and it looked like it had exploded!  Even the core was badly cracked.  Now I'm bummed out.  I did find my Vicious Attack and had a very good night but the loss of the Vicious was sad.  The first ball I shot 300 with is not even hardly recognizeable.  Shot 221 on the Shark first game  and had a pretty fair night.  Sometimes I just need a change.

The ball i was throwing died just like someone turned off a switch.  Resurfacing , cleaning etc did not help.  Nothing seemed to work.  I was a little depressed over the purple Vicious but that happens.
