Theory of Murphy's Law

So it goes something like this...if anything can go wrong, it will and at the most inopportune time.
Here's an example:

So I'm stoked coz I'm gonna be visiting my girlfriend this weekend. Leaving Thursday afternoon and getting back Monday night. Really excited. Still sorting everything out but I've decided that nothing between the sky and the sea will stop me from seeing her.
And so in preparation, after 5 months of not playing basketball, I decide to go just this once, you know, beef up for my lady and stuff.
So I'm playing and I'm having a blast. Seems like I've actually improved since I last played. More confident and all the rest of that.
Now after 2 hours of straight playing, I get lazy as I always do. It comes to the last 5 minutes of our last game and since our coach is watching, I decide to close the game with some great playing. So this opponent grabs the ball and comes to my side of the court alone. It's up to me to stop him. So he comes close and gets ready to shoot. And I jump, like I've never jumped before. I'm a full foot and a half in the air and as the guy shoots, the ball doesn't even get 5cm before I smack it like 20 feet away. As I'm coming down, I'm thinking, "I'm the man"
Then somehow, my foot twists and all 71kg of me (including the potential energy of being 1 and a half feet in the air) land on my ankle and fibres break, tendons snap and I end up on the floor, crying in pain. They carry me off the court heroicly.
And so, I'm worried about not travelling. But then it starts getting better and I'm like, "Hahaha...I defied Murphy's Law" Then my host dad comes home and since he knows a bit of chiropractology (is that the word?), he messes with my ankle.
Now I cannot walk at all.
Damn it...and I was on the road to recovery. I'm still determined to travel. I've got 1 and a half days to recover. Postive thinking all the way.

The one time in 5 months that I go to basketball, I injure myself 2 days before I'm meant to travel, thus jeoperdizing my trip.
That is Mr. Murphy at work.
