Should you always tell the truth?
Answer: Hell no! Lying, or as we say in Blog's world, "thwarting" the truth, is an extremely useful social tool. Blog knows that each and everyone of us lie all the time, all day long and don't say you don't because you do and YOU KNOW IT.
Here's a perfect everyday example:
Person One: How are you?
Person Two: Fine!
The lie: Person Two is not fine. They have more than $25,000 in credit card debt, are 60 pounds over weight, hate their job, suffer from chronic halitosis, are battling with their spouse who's having an affair with their yoga instructor, and their teenage kid just got arrested for drinking and driving.
BUT, because they LIED and said they were fine, Person One was spared the awful horrible truth. Hurray for lying!!

Welcome to the world of The Almighty Blog Chriswoznita. May all your dreams come true.
Some of the most retarded stuff in the world works just great if you can get over yourself long enough to pull it off. And just because you can't understand WHY someone behaves the way they do- does not mean they don't have good reasons.
I do try and understand why though.
I think the difference between our styles is that you are self-conscious in your approach, and are coming at things from a tried and tested perspective. Me- I am always testing boundaries and trying new stuff. Kind of like, "Let's see what happens when I do this". It's risky and it doesn't always work but it sure holds a lot of valuable lessons. I gather many people learn a great deal too from watching me fall on my face now and then. It's part of being a comedienne, and part of wanting to make a difference.
But it's almost all out of my system now- there are no free refils on existential angst.
How are you holding up, mighty blog?
