” I am a sucker”
sung to the tune of “I am a Dancer” by The Wiggles.
I am a sucker
I am a sucker
I enter contests so
I will win them
I will win them
But winning is my foe.
I think it’s my drive to win that makes me a sucker for any competition. Over the past several years, I’ve tried out for all types of stuff– I’ve entered sweepstakes; a pickle naming contest; a recipe contest; I’ve tried out for reality and game shows: Survivor a few times, a Wheel of Fortune entry, Amazing Race 5ish times (I’m now boycotting the show to make their ratings drop because they didn’t pick me. HAHA.. I’ll show them…); I’ve tried out for Marla’s ‘give-aways’ that are rigged by Jamie 
; I’ve called Walgreen’s, Target, and Taco Bell’s survey contests, and many other door prizes and give aways. Sigh. I haven’t won. Maybe one day, I’ll win. Until then, I’m a sucker and a loser–hopefully, only this definition 1: a person or thing that loses especially consistently, NOT this one 2: a person who is incompetent or unable to succeed; also : something doomed to fail or disappoint. 
And know what this is? It’s my latest delivery confirmation showing that my Survivor tape made it ON TIME…
I’m excited that it got there on time…because not only am I a lover of competitions, BUT, I am also a cheapskate and a risk-taker. I sent it priority on Tuesday for $4 instead of the guaranteed method for $16 with the hopes that it would get there on time (Thursday at 5:00 p.m.)–After all, if I don’t make it, I have to save save save…and trying out for 100 reality shows can get expensive (It FEELS like 100 anyway!). Okay, so maybe I am a loser, but HEY, at least I’m one step closer to getting picked than YOU. My motto? If you don’t try you won’t win. One day, folks… One day…
