New Years Resolutions: Be Moby Dick

2012 -- worst year ever!

I knew in advance that 2012 was not a year to pile on resolutions about looking prettier or doing something whimsical every sunrise. I only had one resolution last year: Be Moby Dick.

Moby Dick is pretty cool. He's a Sperm Whale -- the largest living toothed animal. Twenty times more massive than JAWS. Infinately more non-extinct than dinosaurs. Sperm Whales are so cool they eat GIANT SQUID for breakfast.

Like all sperm whales at the time, he is hunted by whalers who try to kill and process him. But he is also hunted by the most accomplished whaler of all time -- Captain Ahab. The first time the two of them meet, Moby escapes and Ahab is crippled.

And here is where the story gets strange. Captain Ahab blames Moby Dick PERSONALY. Ahab has a reputation for delivering angry tyrades, and it's well deserved!

But Moby Dick doesn't care what Ahab says. And neither do I. :)

  1. I am now really curious in what way you will be Moby Dick and who (or what) will be your Captian Ahab
