Proper Methods of Lying...

It's funny how some people can go through life just being so dissatisfied that they feel they need to create a false sense of happiness. What do I mean by false sense of happiness you wonder...well...let's see...there's the issue of creating stories about others that aren't true (or even plausible), and there's the problem of inventing varying "facts" about themselves. Come on people, I know when we were all young that mommy and daddy tried to teach us that lying is wrong. This lesson obviously didn't seem very appealing to some people, so instead of learning from their parents you'd think that their friends would be of some help. Now, I don't mean help as in trying to dissuade them from doing it...but little kids have the best imaginations out there. Who better to teach someone the particulars of making stuff up than those restless six year olds who could believe themselves to be Batman and She-Ra? We even grew up watching and being mezmorized by the lying antics on Polka Dot Door as Polkaroo and what's his name never met and were never seen together.

With this kind of growing up you'd think that those who choose to, who have nothing better to do, or who are just that..umm "interesting", would know how to go about it properly.

#1. At least tell believable things that could possibly happen...especially if it's about other people...because believe it or not, they will find out about what was said!

#2. If you're going to tell a story about yourself...stick to it...don't change it depending on the day or the person to whom it's being told. Sad but true..people like to gossip...which means they like to exchange stories about things that they've heard...which then means that they compare what was told to them.

#3. If you do it once...and obviously aren't any good at it since you broke the first two rules....don't try to convince people that you have "changed" and then do it again...

#4. Just grow up and don't do it! You should be happy with who you are, and if you're not, then it's up to you to figure out why!

Well that was my lovely rant for the day as I sit in front of the computer at work wishing that I were sitting outside of a little cafe sipping an iced cappuccino, or walking on the beach trying to lick all the ice cream off of my cone before it melts (no wasting ice cream here...that's just wrong!). But I just HAD to let this one out!!
