It's funny what gets to you

Out shopping with my music thing on, it came up with "Somewhere That's Green" from Little Shop Of Horrors.

I nearly came over all unnecessary right there in the car park. Thinking about dreams, and how we hunger for them, and how we sabotage ourselves to keep from ever achieving them.

Skid Row can be a state of mind. And it's even harder to get out of it then, because part of us clings to it.

dglenn's quote of the day just gave the knife another twist.

I have got to pull myself together and get a damn job.

There are some truly moving moments in "Little Shop of Horrors", which is why it works so well, I think.

Thanks for the pointer towards those quotes. Food for thought and for action indeed.

You should get at least a decent job. A damn job just takes you farther from those dreams.

Is your energy level up enough to ease into meaningful work by doing some volunteer programs? It would make you feel good about what you are doing and maybe lead to better things.
