A Rose By Any Other Name

A friend once described a mutual friend of ours this way:  “If you like him, he’s a free spirit.  If you don’t, he’s an asshole.”  I’ve been thinking lately that some version of this description probably applies to me…

If you like me, I’m quick witted, irreverent, and sometimes kind of funny.  If you don’t, I’m loud mouthed, crude, and sometimes just flat out obnoxious.  My grandmother had a great expression:  you ain’t got no couth. Not that you were uncouth.  Nah, you just “ain’t got no couth”…  I love that.

It doesn’t matter one way or the other really, because, as that wise sailor once said, I yam what I yam. And while I enjoy thinking about ways that I could, um, package myself in such a way to make the things that I’m saying more easily heard by others, for the most part, I kind of like who I am.

So there.
