Dear You:
2015 has a wonderful look to it. 2. 0. 1. 5. Math whizzes among you may understand its allure.
Here in Panama City Beach/Inlet Beach, foggy chill is drifting in, bringing wintry temperatures . . . at least according to north FL standards.
Reading Chauncey DeVega's blog, I was amused and stirred by his thoughts on resolutions for a new year. So often, my resolutions are simple, like "to-do" lists. I try not to overshoot or make promises that I can't execute. But this year, I want to take another resolution approach.
Back to Mr. DeVega and his recent holiday post. He writes: "Some folks believe that I am "angry". As a working class black American, my 2015 resolution is that I promise to be even more angry whenever possible and appropriate."
That is just one cool thing DeVega says, and I am "resolving" inspired by his point. So, for 2015, I promise to:
1. Be even more disruptive at the college whenever things look a little too much like "Office Space".
2. Be less accepting of idiocy - everywhere.
3. Be continually impatient for change, social and political, in my USA.
4. Be insatiable.
5. Be TEFLON when it comes to work-hustling, family blow-back, or local redneck foolishness!
BE!
I could share my DO list too, but it wouldn't mean much. I can always DO, but BEING is often much more difficult.
Cheers and kisses . . . enjoy the NFL playoffs (love you Patriots + Tom Brady & Giselle), the comforts found on cold nights, and the comedy we will all soon enjoy provided by the next race for the presidency/2016. The Republican contest should be quite a show! (PS: Why won't they give me Rand Paul? Well, that's another blog entry . . . )
Joyce Joyful Nuevo Nuevo!!
