Practice What You Preach

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. I tell everyone that and yet I allow it to happen to myself. When I first read the news, I admit I was disappointed and near the brink of being devastated. But I let the feeling go; burying it with Season 1 of How I Met Your Mother and a number of chicken wings and a bottle of Pepsi. I had let it go. But one phone call was all it needed to resurface the frustration and disappointment.

Yes, valid point. If they appreciated me, they would have dangled that notion or even given that carrot to me. I've done my share and I've been doing pretty darn well but here I am, still waiting for my carrot while everyone else has their firsts and some even seconds.

But no I am not jealous nor angry. What I feel has nothing to do with you. I am happy for you but what they did not do for me, has made me even more jaded than before.

Fuck the system; I'm getting out of there.

This calls for a new theme song.

Sometimes I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I cant help but ask myself how much
I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before, it seems to have a vague
Haunting mass appeal
Lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there

So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive, oh oh
It's driven me before, it seems to be the way
That everyone else get around
Lately, I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself, my light is found

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there
Would you choose water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there

I'm in the same line as you and I think I know what you're talking about. Same situation here; sucks right. I'm still waiting for that damned carrot, it would really be a great recognition to go the next level. Our current 'ka-ching' is simply pathetic!

We'll pull through... hope it's worth it though.
