I Believe… [The Flipside of Grit]
...that, if grit and industry is something you respect, you have to hand it to thieves who steal catalytic converters because at least they aren’t sitting on the sidewalk with a cup.
I Believe… [Take a Walk]
...that a long walk in a neighborhood you’ve done a million things in is both a reminder of times gone by and a call for something new on old ground.
I Believe… [The Company You Keep]
...that each of us is defined in large and small ways by the people we choose to have in our lives. Be discriminating and choose wisely.
I Believe… [Superior Chips]
...that El Ranchero Chips are the single tortilla chip in the known universe.
I Believe… [Artivism?]
...that the term ‘artivism’ refers to an opportunity for mediocre artists to be embraced for their ideological stance rather than the quality of their work while be applauded for both.
I Believe... [Public Restrooms Are a Universal Good]
...that few things feel better in an existential sense than work that involves both your brain and your body, with people who respect you and have high expectations, and the presence of readily available public restrooms.
I Believe... [Minding the Curves]
...that life comes in circles and the best of us learn to really turn into the curves without spinning out.
I Believe... [Fun-Employed]
...that the feeling of leaving a job you found perfunctory on good days, incredibly dull on others, and completely odious 30% of the time is one of both liberation and lightness.
I Believe... [Polyamory, My Ass]
...that polyamory is just white women gentrifying the gay man’s lifestyle and calling it something brunch-y.
I Believe... [Me vs Cheese]
...that, for me, the definition of willpower is to purchase a block of aged cheddar cheese and still have some of it left a week later. Small wins, gang, small wins.
