Earth Ghost, you're one of my favorite posters here as you're very real. I remember when you went to South America and some of the posts from around then -- you're the kind of guy I want to root for, so hang tough in these shitty times. You know, I've been without a place to live and no job and it sucks (not to mention having your heart broken). But they're all things that you can come back from. Small steps and day-by-day. Ultimately you still have yourself -- your base -- and that's oh so important.
