'you are what you buy'

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2008.04.20

There, I finally caught some advertiser cutting to the brutal truth. Naturally, it was in Japan, where English is used as an accent, but I saw it none-the-less.

They came out and said, 'you are what you buy'.

Refreshingly honest in a shallow way.

rand()m quote

Work is about a daily search for meaning as well as daily bread; for recognition as well as cash; for astonishment rather than torpor; in short for a sort of life, rather than a monday-to-friday sort of dying.
