Skipping the Yips
June 6, 2007After I made you and Crappy realize your mistake about the scoring file, I've been expecting a plot against me. No, this doesn't confim that I'm paranoid - it just doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
Feeling the urge to do something about it, I built my defenses and prayed that you dont turn into this trigger-happy, power-tripping, she-devil that everyone visualize when your name is mentioned. (yes, even in passing)
But this morning, the "transfile" you sent me confirmed my fears - and I felt IT.
de·mor·al·ize

Maybe moreso because, my efforts weren't enough to stop the Devil, who wears cheap Parisian sandals and drinks from an unwashed water bottle, from biting me.
Dude, how I enjoyed the irony. Here I am, making people feel better about themselves as much as I can; saying that it's inevitable for good people not to be challenged by uptight junkies; that people like Crappy You and Sanction Sanctita exists BUT that should not bring them down and should rather go to the mattresses.
But Super Thanks to them - I am hit with the Yips. Yeah, sure, it humbled me for a bit; you know, like - made me realize I'm not indestructible after all.
Yet, I'm not one who embraces the yips and abandon my principles. I may surrender my vengeful ego and trust that Karma swings back in full circle, but I tell you this - you can't crush me that easily. I believe that somehow, I am watched over by Someone who's way greater than Hiro Nakamura.
And as a Dominican Catholic school girl would say: Bring it on, suckers!



Dr House: "I think he's got the yips. Steve Blass, Scott Norwood, David Duval all got the yips. Great athletes. Lost their confidence and immediately starting sucking."
Dr. Wilson: "And you're giving him time to work through it?"
Dr. House: "Mm-hmm. Four days. Then he's fired. you don't get better from the yips."
