Do you think there's a limit to how happy you're allowed to be?

[The text that hits the network this morning is anonymous and abrupt, with no fanfare to it; it's just...out there.]

I always thought things like that were bullshit, but it always ends up like that, yeah? You get too happy and something takes it away. You become the best at what you do and then you're on the wrong end of a scrappy underdog story and a bunch of down-on-their-luck jerks pull something out of their ass at the last minute. Everything you've done for years is wasted because it's just not your fucking year.

I don't like thinking this sort of thing's a zero-sum game, but it always is.

Does this happen to everyone, or am I just "lucky" like that?

[Well. Seems someone's having a hard day.]
