About Me
Bullshit Detector
It's about time I use my voice to say all the things that have been brewing and stewing over the years. My husband and I were talking about why I'm a skeptic, why I don't believe much of what anyone tells me, why I have a hard time following any sort of leader, guru, religion. I don't listen to TED Talks, I don't sign up for seminars, I don't follow the latest and greatest trend. I tend to push back against such things, specifically deny/avoid/repel/reject them immediately out of hand, even if they may have some value to offer.
I think the answer is because of my father. People have told me he's the greatest salesman they ever met. I reply with "he is a master manipulator," while registering my disappointment that he has manipulated another seemingly smart person into believing his lies. A person who believes his bullshit and lies immediately gets categorized into "fool" in my head, and a person not to be respected.
My bullshit meter is strong. My voice hasn't been. That's about to change.
You can't make this shit up
The past couple of years have been like a Greek tragedy. Pyrrhic victory, lies, deceit, sabotage, lust, greed, on and on and on. Just when I think another thing cannot possibly happen, it does. And then some. Subscribe to enjoy the soap opera that has been my life.
