I sharpened up my bowling skills over the weekend. I forgot how much fun it is. The bowling alley was also weirdly segregated. Now, I wont jump to conclusions but it sure did look like all the black people were on one side and all the white people were on the other. Perhaps just a coincidence. Definitely very odd. I also decided bowling was more of a sport than I had previously thought. I am not proud to admit this, but I am a little sore from the whole endeavor. But it was well worth it. I wont say who, but one of the bros got his ass kicked by yours truly. Well, ass kicked - lost by two points, it is all the same in my book. A win is a win is a win - and I won. Well at least that first game.
On a more serious note, will someone explain to me why these days looking like a fool equals irony. I took some time to look it up.
i·ro·ny
- The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.
- An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning.
- A literary style employing such contrasts for humorous or rhetorical effect.
As you can see, this definition includes no mention of terrible music, ugly clothes, or really bad haircuts. I just don't get it. I am not trying to "hate", I am just asking someone to please explain, so maybe I can be ironic too. Maybe I am ironic and I just don't know it.
Poor Michelle Kwan. She was the only reason I was excited about the Olympics. Oh well. But Erin and I decided to get really into Curling this year. Or sweeping as we prefer to call it.
