EVERY NIGHT IT HAUNTS ME

I can't eat. I can't sleep. I can't drink shit. (Well its not quite that bad.) Those turn of events just keep playing over and over again. The other weekend "Best Buy Night" was in full effect as food, fun, and games were the main courses for the evening. I loved it, hated it, and now have nightmares about it. When I arrived I immediately took notice of the Wii Bowling tournament going on. I knew this was my chance to either respectably dominate or forever be regarded as an asshole for my uncanny skill at the game. So I opted to play it low key and just let my skills speak for me. The first round was a breeze. They stood no chance. I was chosen to move on to the finals. It was me, her, Dave (home theater), and Philip (from geek squad). At this point I stopped caring about winning because I figured it wasn't that serious, its not like I was getting a prize or so I thought and I could always come back if I wanted to. To my surprise Jesse was unnaturally talented at the game. I thought her skill was an anomaly because her form, her technique were all so simple. I couldn't comprehend it. Perhaps that was a part of her plans all along. To sneak her way to first place. So halfway through the game Travis lets us know what the prizes were. A shitty-ass 2gb Sansa mp3 player for second place and a set of outdoor Yamaha speakers to the first place winner. I wanted those speakers........bad. Immediately I began to get serious and attempt to bowl the best game of my life.........to no avale. I crumbled. Fell apart and couldn't overtake Jesse's solid bowling ability. IF ONLY I'D PLAYED SERIOUS FROM THE BEGINNING!!!!!! I've gotten past it to some degree, but there's still a feeling of "what if" when I wake some mornings, a bit of grief sets in, and then acceptance follows.
