I Believe… [Good Footwear]

...that at least one of the best things about living in Chicago is that, when you accidentally hit a patch of ice on the down ramp of a parking garage and slide into a wall and mess up the right fender of your car, you can always get to work by CTA.

...that, as we age, good footwear is more important than a girlfriend.

...that, nine times out of ten, you get the job in spite of your resume than because of it.

...that, if you aren’t ridiculously grateful for a heated apartment, a hot shower, and a consistent daily meal, you’ve never left the bubble of your monied existence.

...that stuff breaks, stuff wears out, stuff gets lost. It’s just fucking stuff, man.
