Why do I hate losing & why am I so good at winning?

I have this new goal to right on my blog everyday! Lets see how I do! There is this girl that has a blog too and she also set it as a goal to write on her blog everyday. I want to beat her and prove that I'm the blog-a-champ, so basically its now a competition.

I've been winning at a lot of different things lately! That may sound cocky, but i don't care. I really don't feel like I'm boasting, but just counting my many talents. Talents are blessings! I am really good at board games or at least I think its one of my many talents. When we were at our cabin over new years I won Settlers of Catan 12 times, which is like 8 times more then the next competitor. Oh and by the way the Baughs were there and they're probably the most talented board game family. Just saying I did really well!

Then there was tonight! I won again, but this time we played Take it to Ride-German Edition! I scored a whopping 140 points. I was really proud of my strategic skills! This is a game of intense strategy and you have to be quick with your mind. I certainly was tonight!

Oh and the other night my church ball team won the championship in coed basketball.

OK, so you can't win everything!

I coach a girls basketball team and we played today in the first round of the tournament. We played a team that beat us by 35 the first time and 7 the second time. Going into this game we knew we had a shot to win, but we blew it. We lost again. It was frustrating! We played so well and I'm so proud of my girls
.

Why is losing so hard? Why do I want to win at everything I do?

I think one word answers both of those questions! I'm competitive! Oh wait thats two words.

My competitive nature came at an early age. I'm a twin and my twin sister Megan is also very competitive! We were always competing in everything we did! Which I think is a good thing, because it made us both better at what we were doing! My dad is also very competitive, especially when were at the table, the ping pong table that is!

Well I'm just rambling on aren't I? This is kind of fun! Not!
JK I do actually kind of like this!

Oh Mark, you are ridiculous! I know plenty of games that I've beaten you at. Like "who can look cuter at church". I think I beat you every time, unless you are wearing that christmas tie that sings! Plus I'm winning when it comes to brackets for March Madness. I totally called that Arizona game. Ha!

You are an extremely excellent winner/competitor but I do recall me destroying you at Halo a couple months ago. You're the man
