The legend that dwindled into a myth.
kk: nvrm
kk: he there = you dominate
me: but he here = we dominate.
i dont know how this happened.
but somehow, the legend of 2004 dissapated into nothingness.
it seems like every year in cat high we struggle thru the same thing in different ways. and this year, has been our most disgraceful year yet. i dont mean to be defeatist, but this really seems like the end. the end that every senior ahs talked about. the one thing we told ourselves we wld go thru with a bang, satsified. but no, instead of all that, it seems that it has all ended not with a bang, but a pathetic whimper.
even the words of the adjudicator from the srjs semis last year ring in my head - i would not be ashamed to lose this motion. she had said unabashedly, head high, crest-lifted.
and while that is partly true, it doesnt change reality. much of what we fought for was to gain a just recognition. and not being ashamed doesnt change the general perception of what happened. it doesnt change our lines in history and it doesnt change the fact that it was so clear and yet so far.
twice have we been faced with overwhelming obstacles
and twice we overcame them.
and yet twice
all that we did
was insufficient
insufficient
insufficient.
it had nothing to do with capability
nor capacity
nor anything that shld be a rightful factor in determining success.
and yet, we lost it.
the second time,
unforunately
it had to happen on two counts.
and i just cant help but to feel outraged at the mass injustice done to a dictatorial brother.
