Self-Reviews…

…are an insidious mind-fuck…but, yet, a strange exercise in personal humility and integrity.

I just finished mine today; I’ve been putting it off all week. Surprisingly, it left me feeling much better than they usually do. Instead of trying to prettify it with gag-inducting corporate speak, I was just frank. I figure my boss knows what I have and haven’t done well this year; if she doesn’t, well then...she does now.

I’m having a good day today even though I really think someone needs to blast my ex’s mother off into space just to give the both of us a break from her ceaseless insanity. I mean really—she’s the most ridiculously hopeless individual I’ve ever met; and in serious need of medication. Bless her heart and all of that, but Jesus; take a pill and just STOP!

Crazy (Click to hear sample)
By Alana Davis

You've got your home of the brave and I've got my land of the free
You conform to what society says and I conform to me
Looking for light in the corners getting caught in the spider web
You look at me as if I'm giving a performance when I'm just feeding my head
And you know that I'm doing all right
And I won't explain myself to you just to avoid a fight
How I'm living ain't correct but for me it's just right
I'm not completely insane, I'm maybe just a little bit crazy
There's no one to blame, got no shame about game
Don't want nobody to save me I've got a pair of ruby slippers that I don't wear much anymore
And if I had the nerve I'd click my heels and return
To the wonderland I knew before
I'm waiting too on a slow boat to China, want to sail away to the sun
I've been searching for myself and I know I'm gonna find her if I break away from everyone
So the way that I act may not fit in
Just because I've got a mind of my own doesn't mean it's a sin
I don't ask you to give up; don't expect me to give in
'Cause I'm not completely insane, I'm maybe just a little bit crazy there's no one to blame, got no shame about my game
Don't want nobody to save me
Some like to live for the moment taking life into their own hands every day
And if they don't get killed they get so high off the thrill
They could float to heaven anyway
And others want to save for tomorrow thinking money is security
Well I understand the need but I don't get the greed
And they all seem pretty crazy to me
You can tell by the expression I wear
Though I seem a little strange to you, I don't really care I got the freedom to be and there are others like me everywhere...
