Do you think people really want the unadulterated truth? Do you think people really want to know how you are when they ask? How many of us lie in response to that kind of question. Like 'Hi, how are you'? ‘I’m good thanks and you?' When what you really are thinking is, 'Well I’m pretty damn shitty actually & would prefer to drop a huge grenade on the earth before turning this rented gun on myself. Really though I’m great otherwise and you!?'
When did we all become such horrible liars!? I mean really, if people want the truth well then why not give it to them fully loaded with no holds barred. Do we really gotta pretend that we are all so happy slappy all the damn time and life is a bed of roses? That just wouldn’t be realistic. After all this is not a super-duper fantastic dream set in Alice’s fine wonderland. This is 2012 in America, the land of the brave and the land where everyone thinks they are free but really they aren’t. We pretend to thrive where the economy is shit, there are no jobs, no money, the rich get richer the poor get raped, people are evil fuckheads and almost everyone is out for themselves, out to stab you in your back, cheat you, or has already turned into a cheese eatin rat. The list goes on and on and clearly things are no longer like they used to be so I ask…
What the fuck are some of you so damn happy about??
I understand happiness is a mindset but really I can’t lie to myself that good, after all I’m a realist, but I know how to fake it till ya make it. One thing that I always find fairly hysterical and a tad perplexing while rollin my eyes is when someone says they hate “drama” or having drama in their lives. Are you a fucktard? What the hell do you think life is exactly a mindless sitcom on quaaludes. Fuggedaboutit! This is real life folks, get with the program.
Let’s be wise for once. I think from here on out we need to be honest with ourselves and others for that matter. We all should put our best foot forward, be brave and tell the truth no matter the cost.
So this is your assignment should you choose to accept it (don’t be a weenie). If someone wants to know how you are, tell em how it really is. No more nonsense, no more peaches & cream, just straight in yo face realness. Because frankly if anyone is gonna look at you cross-eyed for being true than they are just arrogant boneheaded jackasses that have already been conformed and sacrificed as one of the “others”. There is no point in saving these lunatics so go on without em and save yourselves. Just leave em with that sad pathetic stare they deserve for being flippin liars! They’re all sheep… BAAAA!
...Sorry had a Can’t Hardly Wait Moment. Ahem… Ok moving on.
So, just for the record if you want to know how I am, or ask me much else for that matter; don’t. Cause if you can’t handle the truth than you don’t want the truth from me! I’m now giving my oath to all of you…
I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and a few white lies. Now, who’s with me?
