are you a star?

kamomilI heard an interview on the radio today with a makeup artist. He was asked if stars are difficult to deal with. He said "the real stars are cool, but sometimes the people who aren't stars are more difficult" I guess because they are more frustrated at not having achieved their dreams and they are still paying their dues.
I wondered if that is me, it sure was when I was in college and all bitter. Now that I have a job that I like, it is way better and I am super-happy.
But it made me wonder if there are aspects of my life left in which I am not a star, that I feel bitter about. Wahhh. Imagine someone working with you, with that insight, thinking, "they're not super-successful. How bitter they must feel." How depressing would that be?
Now my job, (graphics op) while not the job I dreamed of as a child (recording studio engineer), is still kind of fabulous. I just kind of stopped at a job that was pretty good, instead of killing myself trying to get a job that was out of my reach.
I am reading the CBC Radio One website, and a couple of people who host shows are fellow York grads, and CHRY volunteers. If I had tried to get a job at Brave New Waves, would I be working at CBC??? At CHRY, I was viewed as a hick somewhat, I would go so far as to call it disdain, not knowing what "underground" music was, so maybe being a pop-culture knowledgeable person was never in my reach. In whose eyes though??? I know what I know; I guess I yam what I yam.
