The struggle.

To everyone out there who’s putting in overtime, on the road or in the streets, paycheck or not.

To the students taking their winter wardrobes out of plastic garbage bags, turning up heat they can’t afford and preparing to trudge into the abominable abyss known as the semester exams.

Those unwavering folk like my Granny, who’ve got half of their income invested in that fragile fault line known as NASDAQ.

To the privileged few like myself, who were lucky enough to have their Elmer Fudd-esque job hunt finally end, even if it’s at a job they know is below their lofty standards.

To those getting down on themselves, questioning that refined resume again and again, wondering why your path isn’t taking the turns you always thought it would.

To my highly adept Crew, who are a cover-all of each of the above, yet continually peddle out the succinct supplement to the music of your lives.

To Gotty ™, who picks up our slack, even on Tuesdays.

To all of you…keep your head up and out of the clouds, stay positive and everything will work itself out. I can’t promise anything, but no matter what you believe in, just remember that faith is a powerful thing. If you’re determined and have a straight head on those shoulders, you can accomplish anything.
