Contractual Obligations

Filed under: Time, Reflections - Ric @ 9:04 am

I‘ve been meme’d. Tammi wants me to take out a contract on myself. My first thought was to invite myself to dinner, and during the conversation I’d excuse myself and go to the bathroom. There I would retrieve a cleverly hidden a revolver, placed by me earlier… imagine the surprise on my face when I returned to the table with that! It would be a good clean hit, and I’d never be expecting it. It worked in The Godfather.

…a contract of a less terminal sort…

Then I thought, maybe it’s not that kind of contract….

On closer inspection, it seems to be a contract of a less terminal sort. It seems to be a contract of putting your life’s “ducks in a row” so to speak. Less exciting than a gangland hit for sure, but certainly less messy. OK here goes.

I [state my name] do hereby and without reservation of this, that, and the other sort give notice that the following items, thoughts, things should be undertaken to be accomplished by myself with the up most expediency for the purpose of my self improvement at the earliest opportune time.

  1. Play with my children more
  2. Play with my wife more
  3. Fret about the office less
  4. Take a walk now and then… and take the dogs with me
  5. Smell the flowers once and a while
  6. Heed the advice of trusted kindred souls
  7. Don’t do a thing unless I want to really do it

With liberty and justice for all.

Offer void were prohibited, prohibited where void, your mileage may differ, results are not typical, may cause a host of medical side effects too gross to print.

If you get this far… consider yourself tagged to do the same
