The funny thing is it isn't always the big things that make it tough. Sometimes it's the little things that truly make it unbearable. What little things you ask? Well...

Fuck it, I'm going to do it. I've never wanted to be a writer, but until I can find more dignified employment, I'll have to be. One has to earn a living somehow; and since the conventional process of prostituting oneself in private doesn't work, all that remains is to prostitute oneself in public, to the public—and I use the word in its literal, Latin sense. Prostituere means to display for sale, and that is what a writer does. He mummifies himself alive, cutting out his own heart and brain and putting them in a jar for the world to see and scrutinise.

Mining is the process of extraction of minerals or geological materials from the surface of the earth. In a wider sense, it includes extraction of non-renewable resources such as coal, petroleum, natural gas and all other resources that cannot be created artificially.

Writing is something that many of us love to do, but your voice can be heard through podcasting. When you write an article, you can also share it with a podcast.
