Who are You? What's Your Slogan?

If you had to design a bumper sticker or a T-shirt slogan that defined you as the person you are right now, what would it say? How would you sum yourself up accurately in just a few words?

Your challenge is to do just that: create either a bumper sticker or T-shirt design with your own slogan (which means write your own words; no quotes or song lyrics) , and then in a short essay (350 words) explain what your slogan means and why you chose it.
