Title: How long does it take you to recover
Post by: RevZiLLa on June 20, 2004, 08:31:22 AM
When someone like me destroys you, how long does it take for your ego to recover?

One of the guys I bowl with told me I don't have to humiliate everyone I am matched against. I think he is dead wrong. It's a sport, right? Play to win and don't hold back. If you don't want to compete, bowl COSMIC!

Am I wrong to enjoy the carnage?

Joe,

Good to see someone with competitive GUTS. Have you ever kicked anyone's tail so bad you got brown toes?

Rev Zilla - you aren't going to destroy me.
Beat me on the lanes by way of lucky breaks, maybe.
Destroy me - ain't no way.
I've raised 4 boys and lived to tell about it.
I am a MOM. I can do anything.

I agree!  Crush them all like ants!  Nothing I hate worse than watching a football game where the leading team lays down so as not to "run the score up" on the opponent.   Score as many points as you can, when you can.  Never lay down.  Mercy is for the weak!

Normally when a guy that averages a buck 30 beats me I feel a little upset.  I get over it.  Either they bowled out of their mind (good for them) or I bowled bad and deserved it.   No one intimidates me.  I've bowled with and against some very very good bowlers.  Many of them are or have been tour players.  Leave the ego at the door and shoe up.  If I get beat I get beat.  If I win I win.

Personally, I like the way ants crunch when you crush them.

IF YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT RECOVERY TIME ---
It depends if I use my ROBO-WRIST (see separate post) or not.  Usually I can bowl the next day if I use my ROBO-WRIST. If not, then I have to wait a day or two because then my wrist gets pretty sore.

I really do not care about the score or by how much anybody beats me. I just learn
 from that game but I have found out that when I get back to them. Then they feel destroyed and do not want to play again. So it is all about how you take the game. I have fun bowling and that it is all I need.

Like they say, "If you cannot stand the heat. Get out of the kitchen."

It depends, RevZilla. Are you someone who takes yourself way too seriously (e.g. insisting on 2-lane courtesy when the league is 1-lane, never smiling, getting mad at your teammates, etc.?). If that's the case then I probably wouldn't lose to you, because I LOVE beating bowlers who take themselves too seriously.
Otherwise I'd say it takes me one week, which is what it took for me to get over getting thumped by Mark Baker last year.
It didn't help that I was watching the tour that week and they flashed back to an old US Open telecast of Mark Baker in the title game. Then two days later I sub in my friend's match point league and guess who I'm bowling? Mark Baker.
I was a wreck. I was throwing the ball terrible, I was tight, I was squeezing the death out of my ball, and consequently I lost my first three games. Even Mark said something to me like "Relax". Then the last game Mark misses two or three 10-pins and I manage to beat him by 20 sticks, which taught me that he's human just like me. THAT was the best lesson I could learn - don't be intimidated by your opponent.
The following week I matched up against PBA Hall of Famer Barry Asher and we split four games. They were all great games -- we each had the lead and lost the game at the end, but they were all good games and I was confident and relaxed the whole time. Losing the week before made all the difference, because I recognized that I had lost to Mark Baker before I ever threw a ball.
Of course, next time I bowl Mark Baker he'll have a better night and kick my tail by 50 sticks a game, but that'll be another story!!
--------------------
You weren't unlucky when you left that corner pin, so shut up about it already!!

A game is built one shot at a time. The strike I threw last frame is in the past. The rack I will shred next frame is not in front of me now. There is only this shot right now...even the thunderous impact of this shot is unimportant once it has already been delivered.

The time in between shots is spent enjoying my friends and allowing the ladies to bask in the light...and feeling and hearing the satisfying "CrUncH" of the ants as they are smashed.

Do you go home after bowling and crawl crying into the back of the closet and crouch down huddled in the dark and rock yourself back and forth?

About as much time as it takes me to blink.

When there's money on the line, my goal is to beat you by 300 pins.  Your goal should be the same.

Usually you would have to go to a strip club to find someone who takes money in the "end".
