Maria Sharapova

Through the cyber ether, I pass along wishes that Fortuna smiles upon my girl Maria Sharapova at the Australian Open this week. I highly endorse this brilliant commercial that firmly sticks it to the beautiful but talentless.

How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!

She'd outpester any pest
Drive a hornet from its nest
She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl
She is gentle! She is wild!
She's a riddle! She's a child!
She's a headache! She's an angel!
She's a girl!

Now, just what in blazes was Maria actually selling again?

Cheers, Good Mental Health and Damn the Bishop of Worchester

I watched Maria play the Georgian/Russian girl yesterday in the Quarter Finals of the Australian Open.

The true mark of a champion is that even when you are having a bad game, when your timing is off and you commit multiple mental errors, that you stay resolute and gut your way through as Maria did.

I have never been more impressed by the "mental game" demonstrated by an athlete as I was with her.

And this from me, a person who hates all sports (with the exception of Ultimate Fighting, Women's Professional Wrestling, Shakespearean Wrestling, and now, Maria Sharapov.)

Cheers, and Good Mental Health

Her willpower is a thing to behold. My idolation is wrongly assumed to be of her beauty. The fact that her legs stretch from Florida to Texas is really what economists would call a networked externality.
