"Liars"
Today on the way home from work I was listening to NPR. I discovered NPR about two months ago for the second time. This time I got hooked and for good reason...
I was feeling a bit perplexed about a discussion with a co-worker-friend (?) the other day. Wondering how careful I need to be with what I say so I don’t piss somebody off. It’s a long story but the jest of it is I was the one “put off” or “slighted” and I don’t like that when it happens. This co-worker-friend said some things that chaffed my hide and I let it go, why, I dunno. I guess it’s better to make the best of a bad situation until you sort through issues. In this case it meant keeping my trap such, you know think twice talk once. Anyway, when something like that happens I go home with a bad attitude. It’s a downer.
It’s hard to explain and that’s why I'm taking the time to try and yes, I’m going somewhere with this.
Light was cast on the fog today when the show “This American Life” came on the local station that broadcasts NPR. The show was called “liars” and I looked forward to listening to it (while the link is good). I was almost to the point of setting an alarm of some kind so I didn’t miss it. I listened, bored at first. Then things started buzzing between my synapses, I felt like a man who just heard “the news”, you know, the kind that sets you back a few steps. I had just learned why the damage control had been so heavy for the last five years. I couldn’t believe the simplicity of what I was hearing and how it applied to my situation. It was all about Liars.
Too much to talk about all in this one sitting but, I’ll be back with something to say, at least that is, when I can cough it up because it relates to/with every fracture of my thinking...
