Short of cable TV, PBS is responsible for bringing some of the absolute best programming to the masses; Country Boys is one such example.
I'm not a "country boy" myself, but having to grow up in Indiana, where numerous Southern influences abound, I've experienced many of the frustrations portrayed in the documentary.
The struggle to find a semblance of meaning in life has resonated with me. From time to time, one might be successful in a particular venue, however, should circumstances deteriorate that plateau--and invariably, this will happen--one is left, if not careful, with a general sense of malaise.
I must return, however, to studying this map of Latin America in preparation for my Spanish quiz on miercoles.
Feh.
