Silver Hurts

Silver is the most psychologically damaging metal. If you had just tried harder... rehearsed longer... been a little stronger, you would have won gold. Instead, you were the first loser.

Bronze is much better because at least you got something. You weren't that poor schmuck in 4th place that went home empty-handed.

This last week I have been auditioning (for the first time ever) and it's really hard. The first cuts were fine because they were going from 40 to 20 people.... you were just a number. The line had to be drawn in the sand somewhere.

Now, the final cut is from 20 people to 15. It's no longer an ambiguous line... there are no more fleeting masses.... they've stopped promoting the strongest, and are now weeding out the 5 worst people in the room.

Since I can't identify more than two bad people, that means I am the third worst. There is no room for hope this week: I barely have enough energy to stay awake while driving.
