What i believe

As inspired by the great Crash Davis speech in Bull Durham...

I believe in love, ice cream, sunsets, the Chicago Bears, laughter, and nerdfighters. 

I believe that kindness is strength, that you can have inner peace while honoring your inner smartass, and that a great song can save a life. 

I believe the Cubs will win the World Series in my lifetime. *

I believe comedy is the quickest way to get people to question the way they view the world.

I believe that the most interesting people are the least concerned with how cool they are. 

I believe in the movies of Cameron Crowe and the books of John Green, and therefore that you can be successful without being cynical.

I believe failure is useful.

Most importantly, I believe.


* Please note that I originally wrote this statement in 2012
