Vote for...

This is a call out to all my creative, word-wise, world-wise, lyrical, poetic, realistic, honest people. Gap's doing this thing to get people hyped up about voting, I think it's pretty cool, so before anyone goes off on a tirade about marketing and whatever, please save it; you can talk to me about it another time. And if you want more info, go to www.gap.com/votefor, but I digress. So Gap's making these shirts and some pins, and doing this whole thing to get the word out to remember to vote this year. The nice plain, white t's (hey, that sounds like a band name, oh wait...) just say "Vote for__________." on them, and we as employees all get one to design with whatever we want on it, work appropriate of course, so leave your Polly, I mean potty mouth at home, but I'm having a problem coming up with the best idea, and I'm relying on all of you, my people, who know me, who know what I stand for, to help me think of something appropriate to put on my shirt by this Sunday night, when a bunch of us are getting together to decorate them. So send me your thoughts, quotes, lyrics, ideas, designs, symbols, whatever you think I should put on my shirt. Oh, yeah, and I do have to wear this at work, so don't embarrass me ;)

Like peeing your pants...

My friend Kory bestowed upon me a fantastic description of friendship the other day. He said that "friendship is like peeing your pants: everyone can see it, but only you can feel its true warmth." Just a little snippet of truth for you today, enjoy. Someday, if you're at my house, I'll show you the little caricature that he drew to go with this little bit of wisdom.
