                  . I am ill-suited 
                  for this version of life.
                  I am not;
                  a proactive multi-tasker that
                  thrives in a fast paced enviroment.
                  I do not have a proven track record of success.
                  I am not a team player.
                  I am not serious about making money.
                  I do not thrive on compitition.
                  Management oppertunities do not excite me.
                  I am fundamentally incapable of
                  crafting a fully convincing explanation
                  as to why I am well-suited
                  for your team.
                  I have no goals,
                  except for those to lofty
                  for many to grasp.
                  I have disappointed my spouse by
                  failing to provide the sense of security
                  that a true capatalist could provide.
                  (although I do not recall promising this)
                  The evening news angers me.
                  Polititians anger me.
                  Corporate America angers me.
                  America angers me.
                  Being a frustrated individualist
                  makes for a great poet
                  you see,
                  but a lousy
                  everything else.
