Rejection
on: January 29, 2005, 10:42:51 PM
Doesn't getting rejected suck!


ARRGHH!!  I just fell like dying right about now.

So I thought I'd put on some depressing music.  Like Adagio for Strings, or the Rite of Spring.  Strangly enough, listening to this music makes me feel better.

Night,

If it's by a girl--forget about her, she wasn't worth the bother.  If it was business, learn something from it--then it was worth more than if you got the deal.

All the best,
Egon

Over fifty-seven years I have been rejected by experts in the art in an astonishing variety of ways. Being rather dense I am virtually impervious to the meaning of insults until two weeks after the event, which is probably just as well. I often think that success and failure are just two sides of the one coin and that the coin is counterfeit. Whether this is because I am an openly happy pig or a puffed up cream cake of arrogance I cannot say.

As you get older you will find there is much less passion and much less guilt about everything, which transition is one of the true delights of aging.

Sorry, don't get it. I'm as thick as two planks. Kennedy ? Which Kennedy ? Did Nigel Kennedy say something about pigs and cream cakes ?

nightscape, try Mahler's 6th Symphony. Now THAT's depressing. Read the story about it, maybe at wikipedia. It's incredible.

Would Mahler's 6th be from the same period during which he wrote Kinder Toten Lieder (songs of dead children)?  Man, those are enough to put me into a black mood.

Ted, am I being obtuse or are you?  Ted Kennedy of course - you know - the puffy one.

Hey, I feel much better now.  I just needed some time to clear my thoughts, that's all!

But thank you for your suggestions.  Even if some were a la Suggestion Diabolique!
