In this time of introspection...

<p>…on the eve of my election…
I say to my reflection,
“God please spare me more rejection!”
Cause my peers they criticize me
and my ex-wives all despise me
Try to put it all behind me
but my redneck past is nipping at my heels…</p>

<p>Sham on!</p>

<p>If the point of this is, “Ben Folds is coming to Chicago”, please tell me when!</p>

<p>If the point of this is simply to quote, that’s cool.</p>

<p>Just quoting in absence of a transfer decision.</p>

<p>We should make a quote thing going on. But I should get to sleep before.</p>

<p>“God, please spare me more rejection” was my motto for the application process. And good luck!</p>

<p>Lukewarm acceptance is more bewildering than outright rejection.

<p>Unfortunately my famous black quote is probably going to be:</p>

<p>What happens to a dream deferred?</p>
