Lies, Damned Lies, and the Liars that Tell Them

Of the many things that irritate me, lying is one of them.  When I found out that my ex husband has a male roommate when his roommate answered the phone, my blood pressure spiked to an all new high.  I specifically asked who he lived with, and he replied, "Me, Thumper (rabbit), and Melly."  No mention of the roommate at all.  None.  Then when I said to him that he lied to me,  he said, "Oh, I told you."  So, just lie to me again.  See, I would have run a background check on the roommate so I would have felt better--there are so many pedophiles and sex offenders out there that Emily's safety has to take top priority. Just because he's a teacher like my ex does not mean that the guy is a saint.  I am so ANGRY that he lied to me about something that I have the right to know.

What else is really irritating about my ex is that he is always concerned that I would be stupid enough to bring a parade of men through my house and expose my daughter to loose morals or strange men. Anyone who knows me that of the many things that I am, I am not an irresponsible parent.  I try very hard to show my daughter good example--and we are actively involved with community organizations that help people so she sees first-hand that when you've been blessed, you give to others. It's my philosophy that it is much better to show her charity it action then it is to tell her to help others. 

So, the ironic thing in all of this is that my ex makes it like he cares about me.  Well, you don't lie to someone that you care about and then lie again to cover up.  Friends are open with one one another and tell the truth.

On a much more pleasant side-note, go see I, Robot.  It's a good science fiction movie, plus the shower scene of Will Smith is worth the price of admission.  Ladies, he's still sporting his Ali body.  Mmm, six-pack; tight glutes.  The movie makes you really think about technology, although the problems with the latest generation of robots made me chuckle because it's just like the problematic releases of the software that my firm creates. "Well fix it in the next release, no problem.  Just have Tech Pubs write a TAC Bulletin with a work-around."

Previews of Predator vs. Alien cracked me up--I said out loud at the theatre.  "Wow.  That looks as good as Jason vs. Freddy."  A man two rows back said, "Buy that woman some M&Ms."
