I Believe… [What $ Can’t Buy]

...that no matter how one feels about a work situation, never deny oneself free food. Especially if it’s Portillo’s.

...that I have worked for many people yet have never had a boss. Except for maybe my mom and my wives which says more about me than I want to reveal but just did.

...that the harder you try to control people and outcomes in your daily life, the less joy will come your way. And what a sad fucking excuse for a life is that?

...that money comes and money goes but no one can put a price on a good night’s sleep, a solid shit, and a serious, to your toes, laugh.

...that, in a pinch, a package of string cheese can save a life.
