Pixellism 

A movement of artistic imagery based on the use of visible individual digital pixels, as a means of displaying truth in the use of digital tools and material as a medium. This movement is grounded as an anti-response to the existing growing trend containing hyper-realistic-sharpness in digital photography, printing, or other visual arts.
I'm fucking tired of having to wear my lenses to truly gauge the essence of this photographers' neurosis with sharp imagery of landscape. I'm more into Pixellism.

Powellism 

Any overly analytical statement on the subject of love made by the poor fool caught in romance, who in attempting to defend his manhood and independence against the chains of social norms and tradition through frequent rhetorical musings (Facebook anyone?), still fails to obscure the sentiment leaking from his big mushy heart, as his knightly actions (couples pic for profile image?) betray the yearnings of a hopeless, besotted, romantic soul.
Can you believe Jeff bought his girlfriend a 3 carat ring after last week's Powellism? He was pretty insistent that marriage in secular society was the last vestige of mankind's domination over women. Interesting his latest tweets don't mention he's getting hitched.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics.

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
