When will my rose bush bud?

Another mountain conquered.
No, I did not win anything. But I learned so much from this experience.
There were 2 judges. One was full of encouragements and the other I wished his face melted along with that piece of skin that's falling off of his forehead and that giant pimple on his nose.
Coming from Minnesota, this is my first time dealing with an asshole (please excuse my language) who's completely comfortable being one.
Oh, how he watched me as he said one mean thing after another.
Oh, how he watched the dreams of a 23 year old soprano crumble in those few minutes.
He enjoyed it. I can only imagine what life is like to be a complete bitch and asshole to every living thing around you.
AAAARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!

On the truly brighter note, the good witch was really watching out for me that afternoon. Thank God I had a word with her before the bad scene happened.
She thought that I had a bright future ahead of me.
She was not very fond of my musical choices. But she enjoyed watching me on stage.
Most importantly, she thought I deserved the encouragement award. Then, she leaned forward and whispered "I fought with the other judge for you backstage".
Breaking boundaries to cheer me on? Cool! Yes, please. I'll take more of that. That truly was encouraging. I don't need the $500.
Although I was briefly hurt by the wicked scrawny shrimp, I saw through that jerk and believed in what I know to be true.
I sing because I love to sing. Yea you may have more power than I'll probably ever have in the Opera business but I have a dream, I'm still young, I'm pretty damn good looking, and most of all, I am talented.
I know this because I know...:) and I have kind people that are willing to encourage me even when I'm at my worse.
I know I've said this many times in my previous posts, but it's just so true I can't help it:
My God is on my side. You bitter shrimps can just move aside coz greatness is on its way.
