KP asked me today if I had any new year’s resolutions. I generally shy away from any type of aggressive commitment to change as my natural instinct is to mount a full on campaign of equal strength against said change. Perhaps this is because it’s always easier to work from an idea than to build one from scratch.
That being said, I have adopted a softer approach to the resolution: the theme. And the theme for 2010 is tomballery. A word of my own invention, tomballery refers generally to avoiding responsibility and specifically to the passing off of said accountability to someone else. I hope through this blog to keep myself honest when I engage in such behavior and also use it to identify the offending acts of others. Wish me luck, interweb!

#1: I like the definition.
ReplyDelete#2: I would like to claim at least part of the process of inventing this word. Maybe just enough for, like, a footnote or something.
#3. Your design is outstanding. Clean, concise. White. :)
This is going up on my blog roll.
One must take extreme caution when openly mounting a campaign against change on the interweb--this place is a rough and tumble, wild west of innovation. I wish you the best in your "Theme of 2010" it is a noble and just cause. Frankly this whole blogging thing makes me suspicious...it is awfully high fah-luten.
ReplyDeleteBut why the opposition to building ideas from scratch when you are obviously so adept at building words from scratch?
For copyright's sake...when I make my blog it is going to be about the term "suewoosey". Any takers on writing a definition for this one??
