don’t be an asshole

during winter vacation you give yourself a full break.  everything is allowed.  even watching Hancock, among other.  between Xmas and NYE, no remorse.  whatever be.

so there i was, after this silly movie, amending my 2012 resolution with an extra point.  feel free to steal for your own list,  too:

“don’t be an asshole.”

Hancock, in case you didn’t see the film, is an asshole superman: he has this superpower to him, and he doesn’t use it right.  at all.

thing is, i think, we all got that some kind of superpower.  some kind of unique energy that we generate in a certain field of our lives, where we blossom and shine and make an impact to others, one or many at once.  when we feel up, on a natural high, and we create… some kind of good.  smth which touches, and matters.

do you know yours?  and if you do, are you channeling it right? because YES, you have that responsibility, too.

Look at Me did this video compilation of some of their friends, movers and shakers in Russia (well, Moscow), to conclude 2011 and share some wishes.   there’s a guy at 3:49 who says it simple and well

я хочу пожелать вам из послушных читателей превратиться в героев (en = i want to wish you to turn from dutiful, quiet readers into heroes)

and a hero you are already – come to grips with this.  surprise yourself this year.  don’t be an asshole.
