The Face of Responsibility

This is my little buddy DJ Howard. Here is his face after he realized he forgot to bring my Nintendo Wii back to me. I left it at his house this weekend after we played it literally all day Sunday. He promised to have Gabi (she's the lovely lady pictured here sticking her nose in the air) bring it to me at work Tuesday. Well, she forgot it and he drove to BR that day for school anyway, so . . . he forgot. It was truly disappointing.

Perhaps what makes it a bit worse is the fact that while I had entrusted my good bud with my Wii, he decided to take advantage of my kindness and allow his jealousy of my Wii skills to get the best of him. You see, at Wii bowling I am what they call a pro. That's right my Wii bowling ball has diamonds and stars on it. DJ, has a plain old boring ball. The tricky part is that pro status isn't infinite. Should you have a streak of bad bowling, you can fall from Wii Bowling grace and lose your status. I bowled a few poor rounds and discovered that the hard way. The beauty is that it only lasted one round and I was back at the pro level.

Well, supposedly DJ has decided since my Wii was in his possession, he should take the liberty to allow his dog to bowl as me and lower my score. What a funny joke, right? Wrong. Oh well, I guess some people just don't have respect for others and their things or even their acts of kindness. Another lesson in being taken advantage of by a friend. I'm a bit disappointed, but I forgive you DJ. Thanks for helping me grow in Christ and in forgiveness!
