Dear Coke Talk: On selling your soul. →
Should I sell my soul to the corporate machine and go into advertising or should I struggle as a freelance artist and do the art I love?

Your problems are YOUR PROBLEMS
So I’m at this restaurant in my neighborhood tonight and this dude walks in and says hi to the bartender in a way that suggests that they’re old friends, not an uncommon event in my neighborhood, but then the dude says, “Can you help me out with something? If I come in here and ask for hard alcohol, can you politely refuse? And if I’m an asshole and insist, can you tell me...
WatchMy friend Matt put this together, it’s part of a series on, I guess, perfection in various fields. All I really know is that it makes me hungry…
