The agony of defeat

I, being an expert in the art of disapointment, just wanted to ask about your worst failures. Not the videos that turned out the crappiest, but about those expiriences where you absolutely had a shot at a major award, and didn't make it past the prelims. Tell me about those times when you had that horrible feeling in your gut, and about how often you get the oportunity to feel it!

Worst Failures: Videos I did that I deleted after production, around the time of Scooter Fire. One of them was my very first video, being a DBZ tribute to SSJ3 to the song "VooDoo People." The next one was a Kenshin video to a remix of the X-Men theme. The next was another DBZ, with the Chrono Trigger song "Dance With Death," with Gohan fighting Cell. And finally, a Trigun video to "Danger Zone" by Kenny Logins.

That about sums it up.

Hmm, I should really read the rest of people's post, like I just didn't with Ashton. My bad.

After I go backpacking for 3 or 4 days, "defeat" always hurt.

Remember always wear proper shoes and dry socks.

Wear two pairs of socks, and don't forget the moleskin.

Defeat must stink, too.

Anyway, I've not thought anything I've done has been deserving of a major award...mostly because they were all catastrophic failures

Bad idea, two pairs of socks would cause your feet to perspire more. One pair of socks and a pair of worn in (not to the point of destruction) hiking boots is all you need for you feet.....FOO!!

Actually, when I go hiking, the best thing to wear is two pairs of socks, one pair polypropylene socks, and another wool pair over them. The polypropylene wicks away the sweat, and the wool absorbs it. Also, there is less actual rubbing of the shoe on your foot. The two layers absorb most of the friction, thus resulting in a decelerated rate of blisters.

oh, yeah that works, I thought you were talking about your regular socks.

Well, normal cotton socks would work OK, but you'd have to change them often.
