Keep on Rockin' in the Free World

As you may know, it is part of my Sunday ritual to check the Post Secret website. I think it is one of the most beautiful and compelling community art projects going. Everybody has secrets and it is therapeutic to find see that there are other people will similar secrets (struggles and burdens) as you. Most of the time I enjoy the funny ones or the ones that I can relate to. This Sunday I saw one that although it certainly isn't funny and I can't relate to it, I found it to be beautiful nonetheless and I wanted to share it in this way. So below is my favorite "secret" from this week.







Here is a short story:

I was walking the mean streets of Ames the other day. I walked by a place that had an advertisement in the window. It proclaimed that this business needed "Rock Stars".

I decided that although I don't possess the requisite musical talent, perhaps they would hire me on because of my incredible personal charisma and give me the proper training to become a "Rock Star".

After a couple minutes of inquiry it turns out that they didn't really want a "Rock Star". They just wanted people to make their lousy sandwiches for a low wage.

My search for somebody to hire me as a "Rock Star" continues.
