It made me start thinking...how much of myself can I change before my daughter gets old enough to mimic my bad habits? It strikes me that the only way for future generations to be better than older generations is for their parents to be serious about fixing themselves, for the sake of their impressionable kids and the society their kids grow up in.<br /><br />Note to self: spend the day observing my daughter. Note the things that piss me off. Stop doing them myself, for the sake of humanity.neal callhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17285975416175230777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385734613853151197.post-31895928310126279852013-02-05T09:36:40.050-07:002013-02-05T09:36:40.050-07:00Hi, I'm Mitchell and I'm a recovering sarc...Hi, I'm Mitchell and I'm a recovering sarcastic asshole.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for that. I've been avoiding a few of your blog posts for exactly that reason. I'm a native Californian that spent my teenage years in Utah, and as an adolescent the "us" vs "them" mentality was one of the biggest challenges of my life particularly because I landed SPLAT in the center. The world needs more tolerance and less decision.

I really enjoy your humor combined with honest and thoughtful attempts to deal with the stickier matters in life. This is a line I want to write down and remember: "Choose to be the person that people call, not the person people call an asshole." I hope I'm not much of an A-hole (at least not most of the time!), but I still think it's a motto worth keeping.
