I'm not gonna lie...

Ok, I don't know how many of you have noticed this trend that has been sweeping the college student population. I can tell its a trend b/c in this single year I have lived in 4 different places (Youngstown, OH, Avon, OH, Brookings, SD, and Kalamazoo, MI) and still i hear it. By the title of this post you may know what it is. Its the trend of people saying "I'm not gonna lie" followed by some type of declaration. It was funny at first, but now it has spread beyond control. People of all walks of life feel the need to prepare you for the truthfulness of the earth shattering statement they are about to make. In the beginning I appreciated this kind of politeness. I enjoy listening to truthful statements and I used to like the fact that I didnt even have to question if something was true or not. Everything is placed right out in the open where it could be taken for what its worth. But now? Its getting annoying. The statments are no longer earth shattering....or even earth tremoring for that matter.

It is b/c of this that I wish to make a proposal. I propose that instead of preparing the listener for a statement of truth, we start preparing the listener for a lie. We should just all assume from the beginning that whoever is speaking is telling the truth oherwise the said person should just begin the statment with "hey, I'm gonna lie" followed by a false statement. This will be a lot more helpful and a lot less annoying. Im just sick of the whole "im not gonna lie" thing" so anything to get that out of the picture is fine with me...even if the new statement people use is something absurd like "hey, I like tomato juice".

As a cleveland browns fan I was excited to be home this weekend to actually see a game on TV. Now? I cant wait to leave so I dont have to watch them anymore...they are perpetually horrid.
