Now to add to my (long) list of things to work on for myself, to make me the perfect person (HA) is to totally quit badmouthing people, mostly "real" people, people I come into contact with on a personal level, so that I can still badmouth celebrities and politicians.
There is just so much I can do and if I can't slam a Beck or Palin a few times a day, is my life truly worth living? And seriously, what do they care anyway? They don't. They exist to piss people like me off. Let's just be honest.
I'm worried about slipping up and offending people I really care about.
I also feel somewhat bad about badmouthing Finn's All Star Baseball coach who honestly sucked on many levels but rather than saying that, I could more kindly say "Really, he doesn't have kids and doesn't know how to treat them."
From now on, I will speak as though there is always the chance that the person I want to say something unkind about is listening, accidentally having been pocket dialed by moi.
I mean, it's totally true, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything. If I could only behave like I try to teach the kids, I would be a much better person.
