Well, I�woke up Saturday morning realizing I�had perfected the strawberry daquiri but not my speech� Yikes - the speech was going to be as god as it is going to get - I�didnapos;t want to practice on Saturday either.� Sometimes you need to distance yourself� I�just took it easy Saturday morning and arrived at teh contest not nervous Saturday afternoon.�� This time I�drew #5 of� 5 so I�was to go last - I�knew my luck would run out eventually, I�have drawn #1 the past 5 times, what are the chances?�

All of the contestants were good this year at the humorous speech competition.� The audience really showed up ready to laugh.� Last year I�was only an observer and no one laughed� It is so great to be in front of a big audience, every joke you deliver usually gets a laugh from 10 people and the rest of the audience picks up on it.� If you are with a smaller audience you can really bomb out on quit a few of your jokes.� The worst audience is a college classroom.� I�visit a friend of mines class every time I�compete to practice and the students just donapos;t laugh - if they do you know it must be really good material.� The students are usually very nice about your work but they are a tough crowd.� I�always want to give up after I visit the class.

After seeing 4 really great speeches and realizing I�could have preped more but somehow avoided it at all costs I�placed everything in Godapos;s hands minutes before I�performed.� He brought me thru and I�placed second in the division contest that represents northeast Ohio.� The first place winner was EXCELLENT� I�feel very lucky to have placed 2nd.� I�am even happier that this whole public speaking thing is so much easier than I�ever thought it could be.� There is always room for improvement and I�still have my eyes on first place.

Instead of a song, I�want to post a quote "Sometimes success is just a matter of hanging on"
