Of curve balls and daisy cutters

Hmm... Wonder if you ever got the feeling that something will fail you so miserably that you sit down and watch its debacle and instead they go on to prove you wrong by doing well, and when you start feeling enthusiatic for them the next time they flop?
Well, i think that is mentality of many a singapore fan. One day the national team loses to our neighbours 4-0 the next they defy the 3 and 1/2 handicap to hold japan to a respectable 2-1. Well, they deserved their narrow loss, they fought hard, but their tactics were seriously limited. The scoreline was achieved by the japanese tiring towards the end, their european stars playing below par, and the weather, 29 degrees and high humidity.
In any case, back to my mundane life. Finished anhilation, at the expense of precious sleep. Tsk tsk, old habits die hard. Biotechnology is interesting, if I can stay awake. ODE got whacked, somewhat. Read through some econs s essays, damm I really need to structure my points.
Parting shot, whether life throws you curve balls or daisy cutters, trap, look up, pick your spot and blast away. When in doubt, don't.
