# 003 Grabbing 2018 by the Horns

because if I said Cojones someone might think it was inappropriate

Starting off sidetracked . . .

So typical of me to get sidetracked before I even begin — but knowing that about myself, I can address getting stuck in the weeds and then move on. In this case, why am I worried about saying cojones when it is perfectly fine to use the f-word or have everything be “bad ass”. Ok, if everything is bad ass it dilutes the bad assness of it and makes it ordinary and careening towards stupid.

Being a badass is like garlic mashed potatoes. The first time it was done was genius and everything else is just a cheap imitation. (J. Tower quote)

grabbing the bull by the horns was a much easier image to acquire

My Promise to my Readers

I’m too old to be a bad ass at anything. And, I just don’t give a rats ass (keeping with the genital area word theme) about competition. What I care about is being compassionate and curious . . . then writing about it in a way that resonates with you, gives you a new way of thinking about an issue or just sheds light on a topic.
