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!

A valuable lesson in thinking things through.
