4 Comments ‘If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere’

Roberta Ballard was fighting back tears.
“You would think that my job would’ve compensated me after being there for so long, but no,” Ballard said.
This was early on a Tuesday morning in March. I drove to Hastings, Florida’s Potato Capital, leaving the busy downtown streets and beaches of St. Augustine behind. It was surprisingly rural and beautiful when the sun rose over open fields with occasional farmhouses, horses and cows.

A reject of society
Thoughts from a punk rocker
By Cal Colgan | gargoyle@flagler.edu
“Creep into town and it’s not long before I start to roam.
Seek out the patches on the punks—maybe a band I know.
I betcha in five minutes time we find that we know
All the same people, places, and roads.
And it’s not long before I start to feel
That somehow, I can never leave home.”

I Can’t Live Without You
So I had a three-hour phone conversation with one of my best friends from college the other day. For anyone who knows me, long phone conversations are by no means a rarity for Kim Hartman — that’s not the notable part. Part of the content, however, was.
She — let’s call her Jane — was telling me the details of her months of fighting with one of her best friends, and how there’s still no resolution or rhyme or reason in sight. This transitioned into a conversation about how the golden chalice of long-term relationships is high conflict-resolution skills.

CD Review: Swan Lake’s ‘Enemy Mine’
By Holly Elliott | gargoyle@flagler.edu
On March 24, Canadian indie supergroup Swan Lake released their second album, Enemy Mine. The album is quite a departure from Swan Lake’s edgier, more avant-garde sound from their 2006 release Beast Moans. For Enemy Mine, the band was on a mission to prove that they could also write more traditional, lyrically based songs, and the results are rather impressive.

MOVIE REVIEW: “Fast and Furious”
By Katy Bass | gargoyle@flagler.edu
I made the mistake of letting my roommate pick out the movie for the evening. She had one thing - or should I say person - on her mind when deciding: Paul Walker.
The new edition to the series did not catch my interest, but I went along for the ride in hopes of seeing something new and different that hasn’t been seen in the first two movies. Hollywood must be having a hard time coming up with new movie ideas because, let’s be honest, who really wants to watch another “Fast and the Furious” movie that has the same plot line as the others?
