Clap For 'Em...

Standing ovation for the most fictitious among us...the living story-tellers, the breathing fairy tales, the walking cast of characters...the LIARS! Why? Because they are soooo real!

Complete and total honesty are what I require. No sugar-coating, convenient cover ups, unintentional unmentioned details, minor misses, oblivious omissions, "I forgot," "I overlooked," "I knew you'd be upset," or "I mean - I didn't think it was that important" kind of caveats...I want the damn truth...PERIOD!

There are few instances where the color-lines are even...but little white lies, and big black ones count the same! Be straight...save the curved conversation for your GPS system...I'm not interested in going your way if you can't speak with accurate direction!

Straight, no chaser...I prefer mine on the rocks, as chilled as you can make it...no need to warm or butter me up.

If you can't be honest...I can't respect you. And since I'm not a disrespectful person, it's best that I remove you from my mental, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual space. I consider you non-existent.

For those on that short list of non-existent beings, I am sincerely thankful. You've revealed your truest self to me, and for that one instance of honesty, you ought to be applauded...it's the realest performance you've ever rendered...

A LIAR...the Realest you'll ever be!

Clap for 'em!!!
