I'm a pretty honest man (my complete and utter honesty compels me to add the "pretty" modifier). |

. :P . . So fiction has always allowed me a "dis-honesty outlet". . Probably explains why I have so much fun with the MiddlefingerMom persona. . . . I took two Journalism courses in college (our prof -- same guy in both) would open each class with a current-events question. The other older student and I would be the only ones with our hands up. The other (and younger) students weren't interested in "the news". :crazy: He'd look at us and shake his head at the... ahem... current state of affairs displayed in that classroom. . . I did pretty well, but couldn't STAND journalism as it stripped away my ability to lie -- my pressure release valve, if you will (I interviewed a local pot farmer and my prof wanted me to submit it for publication in The Philadelphia Inquirer... but I did not, just on the off-chance that I might be sentenced for contempt of court for refusing to reveal my source -- on principle AND the fact that my source happened to be a good friend). . . . Anyways, I found this quote this morning (which inspired all this post's blah-blah-blah). . . . "Fiction is a piece of truth that turns lies to meaning." . . . Yeah. . . . What he/she said. . . . . . . (I also blame the fact that I'm reading Tom Robbins recently.) . . .
