Notes to Self

If you are a sheep, (and you know you are), be sure you REALLY DO want to emulate the sheep around you. 'Cuz it's going to happen, it's just a matter of time. Find an appropriate flock.


Flock selection is key to sheep happiness.


When meeting a prospective flock for the first time, it might be wise to get acquainted with the extremists. Do you admire their extreme-ness? Envy it a little? Fine, YOU are in the RIGHT FLOCK. If the extreme sheep are doing things you think are out-of-the-question, no-fookin'-way-I-am-ever-doing-that, then perhaps a different flock is in order. Or maybe you can hide yourself in a sub-flock and ignore the extreme sheep. Do not become friends with the extreme sheep.


When in a group of sheep, and one suggests you do something somewhat outrageous that they have already done, DO NOT expect the other sheep to give you reasons not to do the outrageous thing. They. are. sheep. It is not in their makeup, any more than it is in yours to turn down the suggestion.


Sheep can be steered by using their tail like a joy-stick. Betcha didn't know that.


Contemplate an outrageous thing long enough, and it will seem less and less outrageous. Especially if one is surrounded by supportive sheep. Sheep who offer to pace you at the drop of a hat (Maria!). In fact, outrageous ideas send out taproots that are practically impossible to dig out in a contemplative environment. Add sheep dung, and you've got yourself a Kudzu bed.
