Winning

I got into a selective art show that took place today at "The Great Frame Up."

I was extremely proud of my work.

But- I don't win. I am not a winner. I enter contest after contest and regardless of how simple the criteria or the rules I find that I almost always face rejection.

My piece took two months of intensive labor, but a friend of mind walked away with fifty bucks and some honors in my category.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I think I have a bad personality. Maybe i'm just not likeable? I got up to talk about my work, and I think I was the only kid who didn't get a hand shake.

Maybe I give myself too much credit for being good at shit I might suck at...but who knows?

I sure as hell don't.

I hope that later in life my artistic and general endeavours end up with some kind of blue ribbon...be it a pay raise at work or noble prize.

Maybe i'll end up appreciated long after i'm dead- most likely not.

Damn society and their unreasonable opinions toward all of my genius (yeah right).

By the way, if any of you have seen Juno check out the blog of the screenplay writer Diablo Cody. She used to be a stripper, but now I think she's just floating in comic awesomeness.

I feel far too lame to keep this post going so i'm going to try and regroup and remotivate my life.

I need to think of some kind of community service plan that I care about because GIVE seems to be bullshit quite frankly.



Goodnight.

Didn't you listen to Myers you jerk, everyone there was a winner. Now, it must be said, I don't feel I deserved that prize. I think your sculpture had a lot more heart behind it, and a lot more passion in the creative process and you should have been proud. You took a chance. And I know your not narcissistic enough to have blogged like you did in order to get the compliments that I am very prepared to shower upon you, but I'm going to anyways. Here are the things you are unbelievably good at that I am aware of (and I must say I dont know you as well as I would like): 1. being sarcastic. 2. water polo - you are easily one of the most devoted and hardworking players on the team. 3. sculpture - but not only the making, you show your feeling and compassion through your work. 4. wit - you have one of the fastest minds I've ever encountered. 5. making everyone laugh. I know you have more talents. Just wanted to let you know that your awesomeness is recognized now, and your not even dead! Go you.
