ブルーカラー

I realized something the other day. I am blue collar. I make up for gaps in intellect with sheer force and determination; or at least I try to. I enjoy physical activity. I don't particularly like theory. I like to earn my honors, but what I want most is for people to recognize the work that went into getting there. To be clear, I like khakis, not dress pants. When I see poverty, I see empty fridges, not lines on a graph. I'm in Baltimore, the epitome of industry.

That is why I particularly liked Eminem's Superbowl commercial. It gives Detroit, which is practically now a ghost city, a new look - or it returns to the pride it once had as an industrial powerhouse. It's powerful. Check it out!
