Sometimes Just Feel Like It’s a Constant Hail Mary

Posted by Michael Michelini | Nov 21 2010 | Comments (2)
Maybe its because I spread myself too thin. Maybe because I feel the odds are against me. Because I’m traveling alone, and currently don’t have any business partners to “share the pain” but I am constantly hustling and trying to make things happen when...
