the four-word manifesto

Being the total bre­vity fan­boy, I went ahead and wrote a four-word mani­festo.

The Four Word Mani­festo.

1. Love.
2. Loss.
3. Reli­gion.
4. Ambition.

Meanwhile, La Inter­nista [who wri­tes ano­no­mously, to keep her­self from get­ting fired] sent me this mani­festo, which I dec­li­ned to post in full. In my e-mail to her, I wrote:

Interns do not need a mani­festo about how much their jobs suck. They already know their jobs suck. What interns need are mani­fes­tos that show them a path out of their suc­kass job situa­tion. Much more interesting.

I kinda like the effort she put into it, though. Rock on.
[UPDATE:] La Inter­nista has since dele­ted the post. Domage.

    Well, now that you’ve got your Gwen Ste­fani words down, you should put out a CD and start a clothing line named LLRA :)

    Link is now 404, blog is gone… first wine sto­res and now blogs, is there no end to your des­truc­tive ram­page? =p

    After mulling over Hugh’s com­ments, my mani­festo see­med ungra­te­ful, reac­tive and bitchy – not uplif­ting. Thus, I dele­ted the site. Sorry, Hugh and thanks for giving the piece your atten­tion!
