Self-deprecation is worth its weight in smoldering phoenix-ashes and baby unicorn tears.
or; the crap I'm gonna do better this year

Well, since it seems to be all the rage to write a “resolutions” blog this time of year, I said to myself, Self? You's a pretty decent chap, you oughts to make-a yourself a list o' them so-called resolutions . . . just for gicks and kiggles. Consequently, myself answered back, Well, there, you, that's quite the idear . . . you should DO it!

So I did.

Without further ado . . . or adieu . . . or poo-hoos . . . here's-a my list.

1.Play music at a higher level, thereby annoying those in the cars around me, all in the name of spreading decent music. Bust those eardrums. Just bust 'em.
2.When in doubt, call, name, or refer to anything or anyone unknown as “Jorge”. Or “Jorge Manrique”, if the longer name seems appropriate.
3.Tell the lion to shut the hell up every Tuesday morning. Some of us are trying to sleep.
4.Be more irascible . . . girls in the movies seem to be attracted to the mean ones, right?
5.Throw things more often when upset. Preferably at someone's head.
6.A book isn't a book until it's been broken in. Break in all the books in the house.
7.Call everyone names, whether they're on the “I like 'em” list, the “I tolerate 'em” list, the “deporable” list, or the “man, you really, REALLY suck” list.
8.Learn to be all the more annoying and unfriendly as ever.

What are your resolutions? To be nice? Friendly? Bo-RING. I like to live a little more than that.

Jorge Manrique is one of the greatest spanish medieval poets ever . . . and "Jorge Manrique" just has such a great ring to it.

Well, if this wasn't such a waste of time and energy, I might respond.  But you aren't worth it.

Oops, I already did.

You know, I was talking to Natalee about this list, and she said that I do all of these things anyway.

Oh well.

I tried to think of more resolutions you could do, and it became an arrested development. So here are 8 more you could try.

1. Travel everywhere in either an airport mobile stairs truck or segway.

2. Adopt an 'never-nude' policy.

3. Become a magician (Sorry illusionist).

4. Join the Blue Man Group.

5. Open a frozen banana stand.

6. Take acting lessons from Carl Weathers.

7. Whenever possible have Ron Howard narrate your life.

And last, but not least ..

8. Date your cousin.

I resolve to not resolve, dammit, I mean I promise to make no promises... heck, this is harder than I thought. Oh bugger it, I'll just say I am remaining as shiftless and nongoal orientated as I always have.

There, I feel better already.

Shiftless and non-goal-oriented is a safe way to be.
