Blogging...let's give this shit a try. For the record, I've never read or wrote a blog. So if there is a proper protocol that I should be following and I don't...my bad.
"My bad". You have to love "my bad". It's kind of like a 2014 version of "I know I really fucked up, probably don't give a shit that I did, but by admitting that I acknowledge, it's "my bad", I really hope you feel better that I fucked up. "My bad" is probably one of the most powerful phrases you can use today. Embrace it. Love it. Learn it.
"My bad" can get you out of most uneventful situations you put yourself in. "My bad" admits ownership to a bad situation but in a way that almost makes others feel sorry for you. It allows you to take ownership of a fucked up situation but in a casual kind of way. Like, "oh shit, I engaged the nuclear code...what?...for real?...oh wow, my bad."
Think about how different you would feel if some folks would have used "my bad" instead:
Bill Clinton: "But I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you." Hey Bill, we know what you did, you perv. I'm not judging but I'm just saying, a simple "my bad" would suffice. You had me at Hillary.
Tiger Woods: "I was wrong. I was foolish. I don't get to play by different rules. The same boundaries that apply to everyone apply to me." Hey Tiger, it's not like your buddy just asked you if you were playing a Pro Staff 3 and you said, ...ah...Pro Staff...3...uh...yeah,...yeah, that's mine." Bitch, we're not taking about your ball, you screwed some hookers! But, in hindsight, I think a simple, "my bad" would suffice.
The point is, we are all flawed individuals. Some more so than others...you know who you are!
So let me be the first to say, let's all do the best we can to live in this effed up world and make the best decisions we can. But we when don't make the "right" decisions and we all won't...let's do our best to cut our peers a little slack and let them slide with a simple "my bad". And if they continue to fuck up, then let's take those sick bastards to task! Sorry. I got a little emotional there. My bad.
