Don't know about you, but I'm sick of the Mayans. Not only do they say 2012 is the year the world ends, but it happens the day before my birthday. Every day of 2012 is going to be a giant eff you to the Mayans to make this the best year ever. Here is how it's going to happen:
1) Just came back from Hong Kong. Abby says friends really enjoyed hanging out with me. I don't speak Cantonese so her friends have to make an effort to speak English. Listening to a person talk in a second language is tiring so I talk A LOT less, blend in the background, listen to others and asked how they are doing. That's why they liked hanging out with me. Going to remember I'm not that interesting.
2) Not going to beat myself up endlessly. I know that's how Koreans roll, but whatever I'm doing wrong isn't THAT fatal. I will change stuff if I do fall flat on my face. This does not apply to golf.
3) Speaking of falling flat on my face, If this happens, I'm going to try again and not bellyache it can't be done. It can be done. It just has to be done differently.
4) Make art I want to make, not what I think others want me to make. The irony is whenever I do this, clients are very happy.
4) Invite friends more often to have pie at the badass pie shop in the neighborhood. Eating pie anytime is nice, but it's nicer to share a stupid pie-smeared grin with company.
5) Complain openly about bad trades and keep quiet about good trades. Just figured out this is what Mr. Market wants. One friend bragged constantly this year. Mr. Market gave him the prison girlfriend treatment. It was ugly but fun to watch.
6) Just cracked up at my "prison girlfriend" joke. Going to use that line more often.
7) Know the difference between alternate viewpoints and denial. Respect alternate viewpoints. Call out people in denial. Mercilessly mock those who mistakenly call out people with alternate viewpoints when they are the one in denial.
8) Speaking of calling out, going to call out those wearing MC Hammer pants. That trend is trying to make a comeback. If the Mayans are right, I'm not spending the last year of humanity looking at MC Hammer pants.
9) If the MC Hammer trends persists, I'll give in and buy a pair.
10) Wear the MC Hammer pants on December 22nd. If the Mayans are right, everyone will blame the pants.

Umm, you have to join the Irish and some of the white protestant types on the beating up thing, guy. That said I am taking your pie resolution seriously and expecting to get some [paid for by you] in 2012!
Question: is that an eye or a target or the "Eye of the Target"?
I've seen Irish and Protestants do their beating up thing.
Amateurs ;-)

I should post more often, it has been a case where I'm trying to figure out where Yangblog World fits with all my online stuff these days. I am on Twitter where you will see me more often.
