the pain and the glory

i've got some stress. the kind that makes your stomach ache, your shoulders and ears appear to grow together, and your fingernails to disappear completely.

i won't bore you with the details, but suffice it to say it involves moving, working, money and combinations there of.

once again, i find myself wondering why i've chosen to live in a place where basic functioning is so difficult.

and then, on my way home i see this sign. up alongside the "roomate wanted," "drummer needed," and "say no to war in iraq" signs.

god bless him.
