Bowling/Tool

Bowling is one of those special activities that all college students must do.  Bowling is the quintessential social activity for young people.  It's too bad that bowling has lost significance in American culture.  Bowling alleys used to be the place to be every Friday night.  What happened to Bowling?  Let's bring bowling back.


I challenge all of you to bowl more often.  Bowling is fun, relaxing, and a great group activity.  I'm about to bowl with my cell group.  Call me if you want to bowl with me.

I've been on a huge Tool kick lately.  The riff in "The Pot" from 4:11 to 4:25 is so great. Seeing them over the summer was one of the most amazing experiences, both visually and aurally. The lights were sick, as were the video screens. What is most incredible about Tool, however, is the way they blend complex musicality with raw energy. The best example that night was "Lateralus" played as a 15 minute epic metal tour de force. The time signatures in that song are impossible to understand, let alone play along to, but they do it while rocking incredibly hard. Tool is awesome.

Thank you for reading.  Hook Em Horns, Go Mavs, Go Stars, How 'Bout Dem Cowboys, (Go Rangers?) and listen to good music.

  1. Who says Bowling has lost its significance in American culture? Old people do it a lot, like your Grandpa and Charlotte, every Wednesday at 11:30, with their old people friends! They love it! How does that make you feel? Love your blog!
