Nemesis. Ahhh, so evil sounding.
Do you have one? Not that bald guy who lives in a volcano and is surrounded by abnormal henchmen and sharks with freaking laser beams on their heads.
No, I'm talking about that person in your life.
That ONE!
The person that always seems to upstage you. Always has one story beyond yours.
ALWAYS had a better time then you.
You just got a raise, they got promoted. You wrote a song, they made an album. You published a poem, they sold their book, and the movie. You got married at the golf course, they got married at the mountain, in the snow, in the Alps.
That person.
You don’t really hate them, but your life would sure be better off without him or her. You can’t understand why people like them, but people swoon. You’re always nice to everyone, treat them equal, greet them cordially everyday. This person pokes fun, is aloof, rude, yet gravitational forces still converge on them. They aren't dependable, show up late, drink too much, yet all parties revolve around them.
You ever get rid of that person?
Actually have time without them.
Then, when you least expect it,
they return to your life.
ARGH!!!
