The 16 Ball

When I was little, I would occasionally go bowling.  It would be with my sibling and friends, or because of some organizational function.  At the time, it was such a feat to be able to accurately use the heavier balls.  I would always try and use the 15 and 16 lb balls; never breaking 100 - but I was more of a man because I used the heavier ball.  Now as an adult, I will usually opt for the 10 or 12 lb balls.  I still don't typically break 100 pts, but  I definitely throw more consistently and can even manipulate the ball to curve in all sorts of weird ways. 
Lately I've found this to be a rough reflection of how I've been living life.  I live in a style that is more on what I desire and I can manage rather than what I perceive society's standards require of me. 
Bowling video forthcoming.
