Hm... maybe you're really thinking of "The Myth of Sisyphus" by Albert Camus?

No, this isn't from that. Good thought though.

What is this from Mitch, who's Stephen Mitchell? It's an interesting little piece.

Yea, they're different ideas. The titles are identical. Read the other one, you might like it.

I have Camus' Myth practically memorized, can't find Mitchell's version online though.

Earth to Mitch: What led you across this?

That's just fucking creepy.

Holy Crap!? Is that really the Author? I think you are awesome sir! How old are you? If you're on LJ, I might assume you're younger than I anticipated.

Wait, you're account has no entries. Are you just one of my friends who made another account and named yourself after the poet to freak me out? I need proof!
