My Awards Experience
Jun 22, 2007

I wasen't sure where I should share my true feelings on the whole awards experience, but when I thought about it I thought people here on care2 might be a little more willing to hear my rants and stuff.

This whole thing started almost a year ago when for some reason I was told I was nominated, then was told to get my "friends" and "family" to go nominate me too so I could move on to the next round.
I knew then it was a popularity contest and I should have just stayed out of it, I knew it was nothing to do with music but how many people you could get to vote for you to win. But I decided what the heck I will give it a try.

When I found out I had moved on to the voting stages I knew I had no shot at winning, I knew I did not have enough people on my side to take that award, but I didn't give up I thought what the heck atleast you'll get to go to the awards night right?

I can not tell you how many places I promoted my music, and just how many people I asked to go on over and vote.
It became insain and I started to feel a little weird, almost like I was begging my "so called" friends to help me to win.

Thinking about it now I would have done things differently. But I am glad I did what I did because it gave me the chance to see who really gave a crap.
I have all these people who say "we believe in you Tami" and "we support you" but when push came to shove they left me out there dangling by my toes.
It's amazing how some people are only there for you when YOU yourself have something to provide for THEM!
If you have nothing to offer them then kiss the friendship goodbye, cause your of no use if you don't.

I am not mad that I didn't win, I went in there KNOWING I was not going to win, But hope never dies and I will be honest I entered TO WIN! Yes it's nice to be nominated but I wanted to win..lol

I am disapointed in all those who said they would support my singing career, support the dream I had.
I was blind but now I see, and things will change.
I plan to make the best of the rest of this year, and rid myself of everything and everyone who just drags me down.

I am not saying I am the best at keeping in touch, but if I got an email or something from one of my friends that said "help" you can bet your last doller I am there for them!

The awards themselves were very poorly put together and out of over 300 people only about 100-150 people showed up, and no one cared to be there. Even I left after my catagory was called. I saw no sense in staying.

I want to thank all the lovely ladies here at care2 who showed that even though they did not know me that well they stood up and helped a new friend out!
I have made some new friends here on care2 and they are friendships I will charish forever.

at this time I am not sure if I will re enter for next years contest, I have a lot going through my head at the moment.
You can be sure however that if I do decide to give it one more shot, you'll be the first to know

Take Care my Friends!
Hugs
