Shawshank

To graciously accept all the indecencies and indignities that your current situation throws at you with a quiet grace and a pleasant smile; all the while patiently digging your way out of that situation with a spoon. Then one day everyone around looks up and notices that you are suddenly not there anymore, having escaped the bounds of your unpleasant environment and escaped to a better place.

"Fuck I hate this job, but I figure I can Shawshank it for a few years until I can move to Costa Rica"

Shawheen is the coolest guy, with a hot girlfriend. He is tough and dosnt like to show his sensitive side. Though it’s definitely there. He is quite a gentlemen and treats women with respect. He super outdoorsy and likes to live his life to the fullest. He’s probably the most determined guy you know and will probably end up being filthy rich. He also lived his girlfriend very much muah
