OH GOOD GRIEF......

I swear, I must not have read the fine print when I signed up with Blogger to do this blog.....

Because you see, unlike a lot of people who run various types of blogs, I run mine as if I were sitting around in a circle talking to a bunch of my closest buddies.

In short, I am totally honest, very irreverent, sometimes zany, sometimes critical, sometimes irritable, sometimes insane & totally crazy, and sometimes just downright in-your-face-blunt.

I mean, REALLY, people!!!

With all the blogs out there who strive to stay politically correct and non-offensive, does it not get boring reading all that sugary-sweetness? God, after I read some blogs I need a trip to the dentist to cure the sugar damage. At least with my blog, I'm totally honest. I tell about my life and what happens in it---and that sometimes means the OPPOSITE of sweetness-- in fact, it means that I sometimes step on the toes of a lot of holier-than-thou people.

I like to think of the people who read and comment on my blog as friends. If they're not friends, they either keep silent or they challenge me. But the thing is---when people challenge me, they're going to get the same thing out of me as I listed above! HONESTY! And, unfortunately, a lot of them get pissed off at that honesty---and start making assumptions about me that are not true! They get all hot and bothered and start throwing every sin known to mankind at me. Sometimes they don't read my comments all the way through and don't even have the faintest understanding of what I actually said!

I mean, what do those people think? That I'm suddenly going to see the "error of my ways"? No! I'm ME. And that's all. I'm me.

And no, I don't think that everything I do or say is good or right. Not at all. I'm about as flawed an individual as they come. The number of my hapless therapists can attest to that sad fact. Currently I have 4 therapists. Two who come to my house and try to drag me out of it. One to do Freudian-type therapy on a 1:1 basis, one hour per week. And one who runs the group I'm going into next week, which will be a year-long group (GOD, a frigging year? I didn't realize I had that many bats in the belfy....)

But geez oh man, some people try to turn my honesty into something that it's not. For instance, take the latest brou-ha-ha. Several nit-pickers turned my opinion about respect for mourning the death of a loved one into a couple of things where I "hate Canadians" and "am calling people low class."

THAT IS NOT TRUE---NEITHER OF THEM.

Now, put the context of my remarks into a setting whereby I'm sitting around with a bunch of buddies. And that I'm having chats with my buddies in an irreverent, somewhat rude jokester fashion whereby we all howl with laughter at our own stupid rude jokes which, if our mothers heard us, would garner us a boxing of the ears or (if southern) a southern "snatchin' bald".....

I mean, come ON!!!! There is simply NO FRIGGING WAY that I can write a blog without being honest. And I do have a lot of friends who totally understand how I am and don't make a federal offense out of it.

I actually feel bad when somebody leaves my blog. I was hoping they'd join my irreverant, funny, entertaining group of friends.

I know, I know---they're YH groupies--the queen of sugary sweet political correctness. (And the BIGGEST whiner when criticized.) But I have one question for them:

Have you never in your life sat in a "girls gab" type group and NOT said something your mother or grandmother would disaprove of?

TELL ME THE TRUTH!!!

See?

Because the truth is no. And if you're going to go that far, the next is this: There is a sad fact that most people these days blog to "be nice". Most people don't insult, rag on, criticize, or make rude fun of others on their blogs.

Gag me with a spoon!

I prefer total honesty----just like when I sit in a group of gab-buddies.
