I’m Telling The Truth For 24 Hours, Ask Me Anything…
Season Greetings!
At about 5:00 am this morning I guess I was finish sleeping so I got up and am writing to you. Although I don’t want to take away from the conversation of our five random questions and still look forward to comments regarding Motivational Monday, I saw something interesting on Facebook yesterday and wanted to share it with you and hear what you had to say.
Somebody said (in all caps) he would tell the truth for 24 hours and invited everyone to ask him one question – in his inbox – and he would answer it. It could be anything: a crazy question or a serious question. I thought it very interesting that he designated one day to telling the truth. To be fair, let me tell you that he also said, in parenthesis, that this doesn’t mean he is untruthful at other times. And let me say, I am not judging him, I just think it is interesting.
Here’s my question: could we be/are we truthful at all times? I remember the movie Liar Liar and the sheer havoc it created when he decided to tell the truth. Would a world full of 100% truth tellers create more havoc than a world full of people telling lies or at best, being deceitful? If I ask you if you like my boots and you don’t like them, is saying: “wow, they are really something” an answer to my question or deceit? Sure, it is not a straight out lie but isn’t it deceit? I would probably walk away thinking you like my boots or you are at least impressed by my boots! lol. Is there anyone that would say: “no, I don’t like them” and stop talking right there? I don’t think so, even I would probably say, “Girl if you like them, that is all that matters, they are not really my style“. I guess that is going around the barn to say, no I don’t like them but is my response even pure truth and honesty? I’m just asking. Could we all vow to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth for 24 or life?
I know most of us would say our reason for not telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth is because we don‘t want to hurt someone’s feelings right? I get that but at what cost? You know me and how I bring the Christianity thing into it but this time I will not. I will not even ask the question if pleasing God with truth at all times is on John Public’s mind these days. I will just go back to my original curiosity: could you go for 24 hours and tell the truth?
Holla back!
P.S. – ain’t Tiger a mess??? Pray!!!
Thanks Monique. A church huh? hmmmmmm… I assume it will be a black church? Let’s see: I’ve got a crazy black woman trying to turn me into a human dildo and you want to send me to a black church where who knows what might happen. What’a next joining the NAAACP?
Don’t take this wrong but I don’t see me going to some unknown church much less fitting it. First I can’t dance and black churchs boogie on sunday morning. Plus I can’t sing. And the preachers be singing when they preach too right? LOL Monigue thanks, but I don’t know about that one… The idea of me joning a black baptist church is funny. Most white New Yorkers who go to church are Catholic or Protestant because we are Irish, Italian or German.
Also I decided that I want to see my neighbor again. She is really a world class beauty. I think we need to sit down and talk about a few things first.
I willingly went along with things so to blame her for what happened is not facing reality. She didn’t make me take that pill. And I had intended to get her drunk so that I could take advantage of her, not realizing that her drinking limits exceeded mine.
Part of my problem is that I ended up caught in my own trap. She turned things around on me and I ended up hand and ankle cuffed, drugged, semi conscious and whatever else. I am black and blue all over, sore and suffering. In some ways I think I deserve what I got…
Charles,
I’m glad you got your message in before I got in my response to your other message. It’s making me tone down this message.
I think it’s good that you’ve decided to face her and deal with the issues you had with the weekend head on. I wish you the best with that. Just hold your ground. Now that you know that she’s such a strong personality, you’ll have to be stronger than she is for her to take your feelings seriously.
As for your other message, you put me into a stereotypical box that I don’t fit into. I’m not Baptist and my Pastor is white. And for the record, black folks are not the only ones that dance in church. You’ve got to come out of your sheltered life and experience some diversity other than your new found nubian friend. And don’t knock the church experience. It could be wonderful and totally fulfilling if really given the chance to be. You’d make some really good friends too. At least try going with someone that you know that enjoys the experience when they go. You could be pleasantly surprised.
Anyway,
I work a half day today. She and I are going to meet after work.
Hello. I’ve been busy. Hope you all are doing well my Klever Kathy friends. I have been on a non stop date. Between work I’ve been totally occupied. After our talk things have been; Not sure how to describe how things have been. I’ve had a massage everyday. The first one lasted almost 2 hours. She’s scraped my feet, oiled them, clipped my toenails, washed me from head to toe fed me. That’s the other side of the story.
There is no doubt that she is into dominating me. I agreed to wear a collar and I have to ask permission to do things. I’m not allowed “on top.” And I do wear certain restraints here ant there plus there is some occasional discipline. But I have never had a women take care of me like she does, nor have I ever obeyed a woman like she wants either. Needless to say I’m not sure what to think…
Charles,
As long as you’re happy and you’re okay with what’s being done….I’m your cyber friend/sister, not your mother. You’re a grown man and what you do in the privacy of your home is your business. Just check in with us every now and then so we’ll know you’re still alive and not a homicidal victim of S&M. We really do care about you and have genuine concern.
To be honest you are the reason I posted mommie.
You concern and care comes across, even on line.
I will take the hint. No more about me…
You all have a merry Christmas
Charles,
I distinctly said Sister, not Mother! But thanks, I hear you.
Charles,
I wasn’t trying to hint anything. Please keep us posted. It’s quite interesting and hopefully you’ll feel the love from all of us.
I do wish you a very Merry Christmas. I’m glad that you have someone to spend it with. My family will be at my parents house.
She wants to take me to a Wiggin party for Christmas. Anyone know what that is? I can’t even find it on the net…….
My grandmother passed away…..
Charles,
I am so very, very sorry for you. I remember what it was like when our Grandmother passed. We all came together at her house and cried and loved on each other and let others do the same with us. If you can, go and be with your family. You’ll appreciate that family time together. May God give you peace and comfort during this time. You have our support and love.
As for the party with your friend, just make sure she didn’t say Wiccan. If that’s what it is, I suggest you to run and don’t look back. And I’m very serious about that. It would seem to make sense with her actions.
@Charles Davis Jr – Charles, I’m so sorry to hear that. Good Grandmothers (like my Grammie) are so very precious! We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers!
As for the woman…. cut her loose!!!
Thank you all so much. Your kind thoughts and words are appreciated. I did ask and yes Monique she did say Wiccan…
Right now I have other issues but I’ll check it out……
Thanks
Charles,
You and your family are in my prayers.
Please, please be careful with your friend. If you thought her bedroom antics were different, just know it pales in comparison to her involvement as a Wiccan. I’m certain that it’s the reason why she is the way she is. Ultimately, it’s your decision, but you know how I feel.
awesome writing, you deserve a free iPad: http://bit.ly/freeipad6
