Lying – not down, through your teeth
As I was falling asleep last night and saying my nightly prayers, I came up with a very interesting idea for an experiment. It occurred to me that I am one HUGE liar. Sometimes I wonder if anything I say is true at all because I am so used to spilling out nonsense from my mouth.
I am not a liar in a bad way. It’s not like I sit around trying to come up with grandiose stories to make myself look cool or to try and get under someone’s skin. Instead, I tell Caucasian lies. You know, little ones. Ones that will either get me out of trouble or spare the feelings of a friend of mine. But I do it often. Pretty much in every conversation I have throughout the day. Maybe it’s because I’m too scared to offend people with what I really think. Or maybe it’s because I’m nervous being myself. I’m pretty sure it’s the former and not the latter, but without an experiment, how would I ever know?
So I have decided…I am going to pick a day (Let’s say Monday, February 2nd) and spend it telling the truth. When asked if I like your skirt, I very well may say “Nah, it’s boring”. When asked if I would like to spend the evening volunteering at a soup kitchen, I will probably respond with “The only soup kitchen I work in is my own”. If you are sucking my dick and I find myself unable to cum, instead of saying “It’s not you, it’s me”, I will say “You’re a bad blow and you’re unattractive. Get your mouth off my dick now.” As you can see I will be honest to a fault.
I think it will be interesting to see how my friends react to my new attitude as well as the general public. It’s said that most people prefer honesty as opposed to bold faced lies. But I have a hard time believing that’s true. Now is the time to test this theory. So beware!
On Tuesday February 3rd, I am going to conduct a similar experiment, but with a slightly different twist. I am going to keep track of how many times I lie throughout the day. I will carry a pen and a piece of paper with me and every time I lie to someone, I will make a slash on the paper. At the end of the day I will tally my results and figure out what kind of a liar I really am. If it’s more than 30 lies, I’m going to shave my nuts and eat it. You know, as punishment. That’s what God would want.
Check out this page on Wednesday, February 4th for the results to both of these experiments.
MTV and ME
As most of you know, I am a huge MTV junkie. I have been known to leave work on a Friday, go home and turn on MTV and leave it on that channel until work begins at 9am on Monday morning. I can pretty much quote every line of each reality series and if you want to know ANYTHING about The Real World or Road Rules, I am your man.
Well, as of the last couple installments of The Real World I have been very disappointed with the casting. All I’ve seen is a bunch of sluts and jugheads who couldn’t carry on an interesting conversation to save their lives. But now…behold San Diego! I am so desperate for a decent Real World season that I am allowing these new “7 Strangers” to live in my house regardless of the amount of drinking and sex that is sure to come with it. Last night’s episode was excellent and I find myself falling in love with these people.
BUT…the coup de resistance is surely The Gauntlet. It is BY FAR my favorite program on television. The show pits the two series against each other in numerous physical and mental competitions. The teams are comprised of past Real World and Road Rules stars. If you watch the series as regularly as I do, you begin to really know these people. You take sides in their petty fights and you cry when some of them get voted off and have to go home.
I have loved this competition for years, but MTV has now done something that has made me jizz bomb.
After “The Gauntlet” competition ended last Monday, I was disappointed to find out that there would be no reunion special. Instead, this Monday, MTV aired a show called “Behind the scenes of the Gauntlet”. They discussed every fight and every hook up that happened throughout the whole season. And talk about candid. I’ve never seen a group of people attack each other so viciously. It was fucking brilliant.
The best part?
The Real World/Road Rules Inferno begins next Monday with some new characters and some old ones from “The Gauntlet”. Tempers are already flared, egos wounded, skin fragile. It’s going to be a bear. And I cannot wait.
If you get the chance, try to tune in to MTV at 10pm on Monday nights. The new season starts this week and you will be SO happy that you joined on. Talk about guilty pleasures.
And kudos to MTV for always broadcasting quality and cutting edge entertainment. They’ve had a few slip ups, but overall, I am dedicated to their station.
Bring on the fights and bring on the fun!
I will make a bucket of popcorn and meet you on the couch.
