Anyone can look good #winning. When everything’s going your way, it’s easy to stand gracefully and beam with exuberance.

But to care for others when your heart’s been crushed, to trust when confidence is betrayed, to remain buoyant in a sea of despair, to smile when days feel mind-numbingly repetitious,

to fail with consequence, to lose with eloquence;

This requires a special kind of Soul—
a Love unbound by circumstance,
a Hope outside this world.

This is my friend Nina Hans. We make art together.

Most people think I love hanging with her because she’s a Jew with nice legs. And while this may be true, the primary reason I enjoy Nina’s company is because she’s better than me.

Not a better designer, writer, or even a half-competent carnivore by any stretch of the imagination; but a better worker—i.e. Nina knows how to get sh*t done.

My prized “material” possessions include a collection of over 500 books, 300 dvds, an iMac, a DSLR camera, and a cereal bowl. I only get upset when people touch my cereal bowl.

I have a “man-crush” on Michael Fassbender. If he had Ray Lamontagne’s voice I’d probably be gay.

I once fought a swarm of bees for over an hour. when I was done, I had no shirt, a swollen lip, and a cut on my hand. Turns out when you spray bees with water, they don’t die; they just get really, really pissed.
