does AtD rock?

[Bryan Snyder]

You know what... THANK F'IN CHRIST... cause nearing the twilight of my
20s... I see my 3rd decade shaping up to something not at all like what I
thought it would be back in my teens, i.e. stable, blissfully ignorant of
the world's ills, financially secure because of a career, etc.

It's not that I'm HAPPY to see that others had not-so-wonderful times in the
mid-life, but... I am relived a bit to hear (or assume) that at least now 2
of you turned out ok.

If I could only learn to narrow my temporal bandwidth a bit more. lol

misattribution alert: the comment was Bekah's, Ya Sam
expressed concern and hope that her life improved,
before adding his comment; I concur and it seems as if
you, Bryan, are also offering a sympathetic ear

(if so, I too was somewhat of a bezdelnik for my entire 3rd decade,
taking a lot of temp jobs in factories and warehouses and
even helping with an inventory in a store once, though
it wasn't much like i,j & k smokefoot's (the sweatshops
were off-premises))
