Creed of the Urban Operative

I believe the quality of my life is paramount above possessions.

I will employ unconventional tactics to surmount life’s challenges without hesitation.

Through this I will always find success regardless of my circumstance,

Because I believe I am the only obstacle to my success.

I will move beyond the Social Directive and accept responsibility for my life.

I will use my strength to safeguard the weak, so that they may grow strong.

My actions will be the words I live by.

All of this I pledge, for I am Urban Operative

No Time? No Iron? No Problem!

by David Camargo
It’s no secret that I hate ironing, I’m actually very public about it. What can I say? I’m lazy that way. It isn’t that I can’t iron, but when you consider that my warm weather wardrobe is mostly linen, then you have to take out the ironing...

What Is Your Drug Of Choice?

Everyone knows that if you don’t move your muscles, your body will get atrophy and start to wither away.   A person’s brain and personality seems to work just as every muscle group.  Don’t learn new things on the regular, you start to become dumb.  Don’t meet different ...
