Bowling, Part II

Tonight was the worst bowling night ever. Our whole team was in a rotten mood, and it stuck with us through all three games we played. I was super grumpy and didn't get a SINGLE spare or strike all night. :( Even Todd was doing badly.

One player in particular on the team playing opposite us drove me insane tonight, and was the source of a lot of my frustration. I know I own my own behavior, choices, reactions, etc, and I feel a little ridiculous that I let him have so much power over how much or little I enjoyed my bowling league experience today. Any advice on how to tune out negative vibes brought on by those around you?

I wish I knew how to do this better. Sometimes if someone is bugging me I try to imagine them as one of my siblings - I have enough of them that just about any person sort of fits the personality of ONE of them - and then I can handle their teasing better.

Either that or I just imagine myself decking said trouble-maker in the face. I silently relish the pleasure that would give me while tuning out their annoying comments...
