AMF...Always Means Fun

Every Fri/Sat they have this deal from 11pm-2am you pay $17 and play as many games as you want. Sooo I go an hour early to get a lane because the place gets packed at 1030. I got a lane right away and avoided waiting in line. I paid for one regular game while I was waiting for Eric. At about 1050 my game was almost over and Eric and I went up to the counter to pay for the unlimited games..and the guy (named FIDEL)..says "we sold your lane to someone else...you didn't tell us you wanted to play more". At this point, I'm Like W T F..I'm telling you right now I want to play more, and our game is not even over. We go in there every day for a week and say we want to play 8 games..but they never give it to us, making us pay for 3-4 games first, and we eventually have to go up there again and pay for the rest. Why can't we just take care of it in one transaction? FUCKING DOUCHEBAGS. So every single time we ask to play multiple games they tell us to come back..and that's what we do..we FINISH our games and go up to pay for more. SO this time I go up and pay for more BEFORE we finish, and I get "we sold your lane". TO TOP IT OFF..the fucking hicks he gave our lane to, took the liberty of finishing our game! THANKS! After talking to FIDEL, I talked to the spic manager as well and he's, without a doubt, more useless than the cashiers (keep handing out those shoes buddy). In the end, all we got was put on the waiting list, so we were left with no choice but to leave.

After yelling at traffic lights on my way speeding home. I went outside and kicked my soccer ball because I don't own a bat. I also sent a complaint to AMF and got this in the email today:

Bowlering

I have been bowling quite a bit this summer, almost once a week (even in HK). This past week though, I've been going almost every day. At first, it was because I'm just so damn bored here in Houston, but then I noticed a bit of improvement in my game so I got hooked. I also got Eric hooked and we are now officially bowling whores (going 6 days a week makes you a whore).

THE RESULTS:




My avg has gone up about 35 pts and Eric's has gone up.. i don't even know.. he went from high score of like 120 to 198. I'm joining a league when I get back to austin so please play with me thanks.

GFG RICARDO. What a crazy goalkeeper.

Vegas recap

So i recently came back from vegas and i really did have a good time in spite of the 110 degree weather. The heat really isnt that bad because you get used to it and because you are consistetnly drinking something..whether its alocholic or not. On the first day I got there, we didnt have much to do so we walked everywhere. The highlight of the day was when I went to the Wynn hotel and paid 10 bux to go inside the Ferrari dealership inside. They had Ferraris, Masserati, Lambos, porsche GT, Ford GT, pretty much saw 40 cars all exotics...including the Enzo...which is a fine machine..that the were selling for 1.2 or 1.6 million..cant remember. Also I saw the Miami Dallas game at MGM's sports books section...which was totally awesome huge screens everywhereeee...People yelling, drinking, and having a good time. As for fine dining..i tried to be on a budget so i only went to Mesa Grill and La Fornaio.. Mesa Grill (bobby flay's) didnt disappoint. It was damn good when we went to the NY location..and it was damn good in Vegas. As for the Clubbing scene..Vegas is pretty good. I went to the Palms where they have 2 famous clubs...ghost bar (on rooftop) and Rain (ground level). Our group went to Rain, and it was good, decent music, pyrotechnics, good looking people, and plenty of drinks.. I had probably anywhere from 12-17 shots equivalent that night...The next day was spent sleeping and resting. There was also a Optometry Pool party at the Luxor pool and the sad thing is that noone was allowed in the pool. There was however free food and 2 drinks (choices of magarita on the rox, soft drinks, budlight, budweiser, bottled water) It was ok but nuttin too special. The Optometry convention that was held and the sole purpose why Tracy went to Vegas was also an interesting experience. A ton of contact lens companies and other biotech companies were giving out free stuff. There was free wine and cheese, t shirts, pens, contact lens solution, contact lens, ice cream, smoothies, water bottles, etc. I cant wait until i go to medical conventions and get free stuff too..This is also where i found out how crazy and wild optometry students are. We went to a quiz bowl ...named the superbowl..which was for optometry students. Each school had a representative and would compete against the others while answering optometry related questions..This is where all the other optometry students were going crazy....freak dancing elvis and stuff on stage etc..

As for the gambling, i only gambled one day, the last day i was there and i won about a hundred bux. One of my dealers (dealers rotate tables) said that he had a friend that was also a vegas card dealer that recently bought a ferrari.. in fact he knew 8 vegas dealers that bought ferraris.. WTF you may say...Well apparently they were lucky enough to deal cards to all the big boys (royal ivey, Doyle Brunson, etc) And they bought those cars from their tips alone.. from one nights work. Vegas is just crazy like that... I like the place alot..and I cant wait to go there when i actually have money to spend.
