Every year around this time I consider my shortcomings and come up with a plan to be a better person.
If you believe that you must be new around here.
Everyone knows I don’t make new year’s resolutions. They’re dumb. And they never stick.
Also I’m perfect. So there is that.
There is, however, one exception.
Every year I do consider the possibility that I’ve become too much of a dick and pushed Kim over the edge. That, after all these years, she just might up and split.
That, of course, is unthinkable.
If that even looks like a possibility I do what I have to do: consider the possibility of change.
Change is painful but at times necessary.
If the only chick on the planet who gives two shits whether I live or die might pick up and leave, that’s time for change.
So this year I’ve decided it’s finally time: I’ve resolved to be less of a dick.
After all, this is not complicated. I’ve been a selfish dick. I’ve always been a selfish dick. And now I sense the time is upon us that I must become less of a selfish dick.
Like I said, this isn’t rocket science.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t aspire to be an entirely selfless dick. That’s just crazy talk. I just want to be less of a selfish dick. I mean, Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Does that make sense? Good. You’re as nuts as I am.
To be honest I have no idea how to become less of a selfish dick. Any and all advice is welcome.
Almost forgot: Merry Christmas y’all!
