Don't miss "The Architect Who Became a Diamond." There's some really fascinating stuff about what art is and who delivers it and how. What does it mean to own a legacy?
In 2002, as an artist in residence at the Rijksakademie, in Amsterdam, Magid began noticing the large number of surveillance cameras in the city—anonymous gray boxes, mounted on everything from the corners of buildings to coffee-shop awnings. One February morning, she went to the police headquarters and explained that she was an artist interested in decorating the municipal cameras with rhinestones. She was directed to the appropriate police administrators, who told her that they did not work with artists. She thanked them and left. A few weeks later, Magid returned, armed with business cards and a corporate-speak sales pitch, presenting herself as the Head Security Ornamentation Professional at System Azure, a company that she had made up. The police not only allowed her to bedazzle the cameras but even paid her a couple of thousand dollars. “I realized that they could not hear me when I spoke as an artist,” Magid later said. “This had nothing to do with what I proposed but with who I was.”

Naked Sword Fight
Where do famous men go when they want to get in the news? Pantsless.
For famous guys looking to stay relevant, there really isn’t anywhere left to go. By showing off the last remaining part of themselves they’ve managed to keep hidden, they’ve thrown in the proverbial towel and joined the new starstruck, sexed-up version of feminism: Anything goes — and the first to go is your clothes.

Time to Learn

I've been applying for work as a copywriter.
Here are some things I've learned.
It's not you, it's them, by which I mean it's you and them
It's not your fault or their fault if it's not a perfect opportunity. In the end, it's not about judging, it's about fit. How can two puzzle pieces that do not interlock be put together? They can't.
Change the horse
I'm taking a bit of a break from sending out my book proposals. Thank you to the agents who didn't respond, the ones who responded and gave nonsensical feedback, and the ones who weren't a fit. You taught me things. I'm still figuring out what.
Ads are funny
This is my copywriting portfolio. What's good about it is that at times it's funny. It should be funnier.

Last Chance You
I binge-watched "Last Chance U" this weekend on Netflix, and it's great. NB: I'm not even really a football fan. Of course, the series isn't really about football at all. It's about how hard it is to get ahead when you've grown up hard, and it's about how to deal with life when it starts to rain shit. It's beautifulLY shot and artfully edited. Really, it's a gorgeous, complicated exploration about what it means to be a young black man in the South. The characters it follows most closely are examined with compassionate intimacy; you get to dwell in the complications of a coach who doesn't always do what he says and players who are deeply conflicted about making it big. The timing is also perfect. This isn't a Cinderella story. Its ending is as complex as its start.

Cocaine Not Included
On my Forbes blog, I wrote about the El Chapo manicure:
"As for what constitutes an El Chapo manicure, that’s simple: decals featuring Guzman, Swarovski jewels, decals of pesos, real U.S. dollars, gold-colored gun or knife charms, glitter polish, and religious items, like a gold-colored crucifix or a gold-colored medallion featuring a saint or the Virgin Mary."

The Dinner Party
See this Instagram photo by @susannahbreslin * 1 like
I'm reading Getting to Yes with Yourself: (and Other Worthy Opponents), which is interesting and in which author William Ury talks about how to negotiate with yourself. Early on, he encourages you to give your critical inner-voices personalities and to think of them as guests at a dinner party. His idea is: look, these things aren't leaving, you might as well name them and try to understand them as a way of more effectively dealing with them. Clearly, IANAA (I Am Not an Artist), but I follow Paul Greer on Instagram at @burningfp, and his sketches, which, unlike mine, are terrific, inspired me to draw some of the creatures at my dinner party. So, here is The Shrew, which whines and complains a lot. It's female and consists of a ball of fat with a matting of hair stuck to it. Meet "Judgey," a cat with mange who is never anything but critical of others. There's Hypochron, whose superpower is overreacting to everything and also catastrophizing. Let's not forget Lay-Ze-Bonez, which is quick to pronounce any lag in productivity a testament to one's laziness. And, finally, we've got I'm Thirsty. I'm Thirsty is a head-only it-thing that lives at the bottom of a glass that is barely filled with water. It's always thirsty. Despite the water. I hope you enjoyed meeting my new friends! It's actually been sort of interesting and effective to think of the voices in this way. It makes them easier to be rational in relationship to. Let's face it, these guys suck. As Ury writes: "Self-judgment may be the greatest barrier to self-understanding."

You Bet
Excerpt from a short story I wrote years ago:
"They were in a bar. They were in a bar with a woman and a man. It had been the two women, but they had made calls, and then the men had come. She knew when she talked to him that he was drunk. He was drunk and he was at a strip club nearby with one of his friends. Now, he was here. The other man and the other woman didn’t know each other as well as she and the man knew each other, even though the other man and the other woman had been dating for awhile. The other man had his arms crossed over his chest like he was trying to hide his heart. She looked at the man that she was with. She loved it when he was drunk. That was the only time he said what he wanted. Later, the other woman would tell her that her drunk boyfriend who had been at the strip club looked at her like she was his whole world. And, she thought: You bet."
