Everything I thought I was good at -- I no longer do. I no longer can do most of them, so it seems.
Someone told me, after commenting about my singing on a video site, that I was put on this earth for a reason.
All I could think was that if I've been put here to share my musical talents, I'm obviously not doing that, so I'm clearly a waste of life and space and clearly have no reason for existing now that I'm not sharing my "talents".
What the fuck in this world is worth living for?
I have no idea anymore.
Sometimes I think it would be worth living if I could write critically acclaimed poems or novels.
If I could sing critically acclaimed classical or folk music.
If I could become a critically acclaimed scholar.
If I could do ANY fucking thing that was appreciated in the intellectual community.
But I am pretty sure I never can.
So I am a waste of life and space and I will never do anything good with my life. I will never do anything right.
I wasn't in the top 10 of my high school class.
I never had my poetry formally published.
I never sang provincially or nationally or internationally -- not even with chamber choir. I couldn't even get my fucking head straight for long enough to compete with them.
I am a fucking failure.
And don't even bother commenting about how my thinking is warped, etc. I don't want to fucking hear your criticisms. I'm so SICK of people letting me know how I'm not good enough. I FUCKING GET IT, OKAY? So shut your fucking mouths before your vocal cords have a chance to start vibrating, okay? Just shut your goddamned condemning mouths.

Your tremendous! Will you please listen to me sing on soundclick. We got this thing by the tail. Hang on, your life is going to get better and better. You got it all you just got to sort it out. My song is a one take two tracks, my first recording so it's raw and unedited or mastered but I'm hoping you will see some substance in it. I'm doing Dylan's Masters of War beautifully and Segers Turn the Page is getting really good. I'm working on Ray Charles and Willie Nelsons Seven Spanish Angles right now and Womack's I Hope You Dance. I love them both. I'm a young old Grandpa, that's my Gig Name too. Please hold on.
