my knees are shakin' and I hurt a lot

Ain't that the way of things -- just when you think everything is going to be all right, the fates take a carefully aimed Parthian shot just to keep things interesting. If there is a higher power, I suspect that it's a really big fan of William Sydney Porter.

Even if my present setback amounts to a inconvenient short-term prelude to better days, I'm having a hard time looking past looking past the excruciating now...mainly because it's difficult to see the grand horizon when one is bent over the bathroom sink in a state of intense pain.

Teenage Head - Bonerack (from Teenage Head, 1979) - A repost, but this masterpiece of Canadian punkabilly is always worth hearing.
