There's no other choice but to look forward, and sometimes the game bestows unexpected gifts that make the journey all the more worthwhile.There is hope for us. Amid the tattoos that serpentine down people's legs, the repulsive things they do to their hair, the dudes with pants half clinging to their derriere, there is hope and faith ... the same faith we all have that things will work out in the end. Which they do. They almost always do.
