[...] After the interview and while I was waiting to hear back from New York, I went back to my hometown of Durham, North Carolina. Despite the fact that none of my college friends were living anywhere near the south, and despite the utter lack of social or creative infrastructure I had in the area, I was tied to NC for one reason: physical therapy. I won‚Äôt go into a long history of my right-shoulder maladies–this post is already approaching novella length–so here is a quick summary: I started having shoulder problems sophomore year in college, and over the last five years I‚Äôve seen seven shoulder doctors, done thousands of hours of physical therapy, had countless MRIs and X-rays, and undergone two surgeries.

This picture reminds me of that scene in “Good Morning, Viet-nam” when Robin Williams goes into the GI bar with Forest Whitiker and the owner of the place keeps asking for naked pictures of Yuel Brinner. Then later in the film, he asks Robin Williams for pictures of “them sexy GI ankles.” Or maybe I’m just thinking about that particular scene since I just showed “Good Morning Viet-nam” to my girlfriend two days ago. Either way, you got some sexy (albeit, swollen) GI (or in this case, civilian) ankles. Feelin’ your pain….
