7 Stages of Grief about Candace Parker

No Comments

1. Shock and Denial: 

NO fucking WAY@Candace_Parker is out for the rest of the JUST STARTED 2010 Season!!!

 

2. Pain & Guilt

My HEART HURTS!!! And I feel so bad that I missed a few of the @LA_Sparks home games @Candace_Parker played in this year. 

 

3. Anger and Bargaining

FUCK!! I can’t believe this shit! Why is this happening to me?!? Tell you what, I’ll buy season tickets for the life of the franchise if @Candace_Parker comes back AT LEAST for post-season. 

 

4. Depression, Reflection, Loneliness

Woe is me. Life is not worth living without those beautiful babyhairs on the court. Who will love me now? 

 

5. The Upward Turn

Well, @LA_Sparks may do ok without @Candace_Parker. Look at last season when she was out on maternity leave. *looks at last season* Oh….:(

 

6. Reconstruction and Working Through

Life can go on without @Candace_Parker on @LA_Sparks. We still have other great players that can surely…*breaks down crying*

 

7. Acceptance and Hope

I will find a way to embrace this change, and root for my team anyway. I hope we can still pull out some tolerable games, but if not, I hope we get #1 Draft Pick 2011!!!!!!!!

More on the Momentous Candace Parker Tweet

No Comments

OK, for anyone who cares, or at minimum to document the occasion, here is the full scoop on the soon-to-be Infamous Candace Parker tweet.

 

So, I’ve been following Candace Parker and the Los Angeles Sparks on Twitter for weeks now. In fact, it’s the sole reason I jumped on the Twitter bandwagon in the first place. I am a huge gigantic super duper fan of the Sparks. Words can’t even describe my love for Candace Parker, whom I affectionately and persistently call “babyhairs”.

 

Anyway, I’ve tweeted Candace for weeks to no avail or response. But in the meantime I’ve also made some cool new “tweeps”, or Twitter people that I tweet with day-to-day and especially on Game Days.

 

Last night, the Los Angeles Sparks LOST to the Atlanta Dream (grrrr!). There’s only 4 games left till the playoffs and now we need to win them all–very unlikely, but I ride or die for and with the Sparks no matter what!! I, in my devastated turmoil over the loss, turned to Twitter and tweeted this to one of my tweeps:

 

Mistieyes @bebacklatersoon I’ve already given up tweeting @Candace_Parker, so I will be inconsolable if @LA_Sparks doesn’t get into the playoffs.

 

And….

 

Minutes later (and discovered hours later), Candace Parker, HERSELF, 2008 WNBA MVP AND Rookie of the Year, AND Double Dunker, AND NCAA’s Univ. of Tennessee Lady Vol legend, tweeted this, to ME, KishaLynn Elliott, aka @mistieyes on Twitter:

 

Candace_Parker @mistieyes sorry I don’t tweet much and its hard to directly reply to everyone! hope all is well! take caresses

OMG!!! *goes crazy* This is like catching Beyonce’s sweat towel at a concert, or touching the hem of Jesus’ garment and being healed. Okay maybe not THAT good, but close!

 

I LOVE CANDACE PARKER, and now and forever I can say…she tweeted me. And though I’m sure she meant “take care”, I will go to my grave imagining that she invited me to take her caresses (it’s ok, my wife Shelli knows what’s up w/babyhairs)! :)))))) *sigh* Lil’ Angel…..

 

Oh, and for those still reading, after a total freakout tweet, I got it together to tweet her back:

 

MistiEyes *calmly* @candace_parker #1 THANK YOU for making this my BEST DAY EVER! #2 NO apologies! I hadn’t really given up! 🙂 URDBest&I♥u4ever!!!

 

P.S. This Stuff (Law of Attraction) is TOTALLY WORKIN’! I asked and believed for a reply from my all time favorite athlete, and I received it. Pursue every dream people, no matter how big or small!!!!! I’m wishing for a Follow from Candace next. Patience is a virtue….stay tuned. 🙂
