notquite.

I was more convincing myself than anyone else.
But in the end i really didn't need that much convincing.

Kay so. It was supposed to be yesterday that the results for cafe night were to be posted. But, they weren't. And so all of the hopefuls (and those of us who already knew they were gonna make it. welldone.) had to wait an extra day to verify whether or not they'd be the ones pooping themselves on stage about a month from now. The posting was postponed until today.

Last night, i had about a dozen conversations with different people, each of which included the topic of cafe night. And each time, i was told "there's no doubt about it, you made it!" Honestly, having so much support from everybody felt quite good. But it didn't really convince me that i indeed had made it. I knew from the start that if you're not incredibly talented, then it's all one giant popularity contest. And i wouldn't go so far as to say i'm incredibly talented. Therefore, when it comes down the popularity aspect, since i'm not the best of friends with our very own world class DECA executives, i'm the little guy, and i lose out.

I might sound a little resentful, but that's not the case. Of course i'm a little disappointed. I would have much preferred being in the show, but i think i never got my hopes up in the first place so there wasn't much to come tearing down.

A little tidbit of a story to describe how i found out this morning. The two girls who were putting up the results, did so at around 7:45, the same time that i went to check them. Nothing wrong with that so far. But for some reason, they hadn't considered the fact that you need something adhesive to post results. Unfortunately for them, their stubborn sheet of paper just would not stick to the wall. Unfortunately for me, it was about 5 more minutes until they finally got a hold of some tape, and then at that time they spent another minute straightening out the edges. I wanted to ninja chop them. They definitely knew i was waiting to see the results and still took their sweet time. Anways, i looked at the results, and headed off to class.

There are some things that you want really badly at one point in time. And when the time comes that you can't have it... you would still love to have it but you can definitely live without it. (hopethatmakessense)

i think you're right about the beings friends with people in DECA thing.
i think thats the only reason i got my MC gig

but i think that it just lets you know that it doesnt matter what people think of you, as long as you know you're amaazingly talented [WHICH YOU ARE , OMG !], you will be okay.
and if it helps,
I KNOW YOU ARE SO GIFTED AND IVE KNOWN THAT FOR A VERY LONG TIME SO SCREW THEM DECA'S WHO ONLY SAW YOU FOR 2 MINUTES.

YOU WROTE SOMETHING QUOTABLE, YOU JUST GOT AWESOMER.

But it definitely did bother me. I won't lie and say I wasn't pissed off. But hell, we did damn well. Let's record it.

sorry jusbus! it sucks that you didn't make it (and if i ever meet those girlz ima kick they bums down to chinatown).

but...i am incredibly proud of you for trying out in the first place -- i know how nerve-wracking that is, and how much courage it takes to even make that first step, so, regardless of the outcome, you should be really proud of yourself, and know that you DO have tonnes of musical talent, and at least one HUGE fan in this great big world.

uh...i.e. me, in case that went over your head :)

p.s. please don't stop the music, music, music
