I have no answers. Probably because I am not false. Maybe I am false
at times without knowing it. But on the whole I am what I am and that's
what people get. I know lots of false types. I like some of them. One
guy is a standup comic but also ran for the senate in his state. A friend
of his (and mine) were ragging him about something - something absurd
and obviously false - but he asked us both to stop. I think we were talking
about him sucking cocks or something. I couldn't believe it. I said, "Of
course you know we're only kidding", and he said, "Yeah, but you seem to
forget, I'm running for office." And he was serious. He did not come directly
to the group. He had pumped his name into the google search bar just to
see what might come up. One of the last stops he came to was our group.
He used to post there all the time but had not in some time. He saw us
talking about him and got all panicky. "You seem to forget, I'm running for
office." LOL. Of course he didn't come close to being elected. I later told
him if he just came out and would be himself he'd get a better following.
He might lose the election but he's building for the future. But he wore
two hats - a suit and tie and his hair combed over for the senate seat,
a regular Joe outfit for his comedy gigs. I liked the guy, still do, but is
that the kind of false you're talking about? Because if you are it does
not apply to me and never will.
