My writer friend Kim and I were talking about our blogs one day not long ago and she asked me what I was going to do with "The Date Manifesto" since I was dating someone and essentially off the market now.
First of all, the end of a relationship is a real ego deflating, kick in the balls especially when you find out they were cheating on you within a couple of months of the beginning of the relationship, being honest with you was evidently not an option, and then they can somehow justify blaming you for the end of the relationship. I told Kim that I would probably keep the blog going as a means to help other people that are facing the same type of situation. That is really kind of ironic because my readership of "The Date Manifesto" is primarily made up of my ex-girlfriends or their friends. Maybe I am here just to help myself. Writing can be very cathartic and cleanse the soul.

Were You Even There?
I had to read a book for a Philosophy class in college called Lying by Sissela Bok. The basic premise of the book was if a person believes that something actually happened and they lie about it, is it actually a lie since they believe it to be true?
That being written, it never ceases to amaze me how two people can share an event or a series of events and have a completely different interpretation of what happened during that time. It ends up not even sounding like they were not even in the same place. However, there is no doubt in my mind that the girl that was telling the story remembers it this way. I also want to note that this particular girl is a borderline psycho with a tendency to lie in order to get whatever it is she wanted. Why did I date this girl you ask? A set of 40 DD's can cover quite a few lies. It was hard to tell the lies from the truth when my face was buried between the 40 DD's.
A mutual friend of mine called me and asked me about some of the stories 40 DD was telling. I was amazed at the depth of her story and how far it was from what actually happened. I quickly refuted the version told by 40 DD. 40 DD's version was ripped straight out of the pages of Fantasy Island. My immediate response was "You have got to be kidding me! She actually said that?" I could not help but laugh. According to Sissela Bok, was 40 DD really lying if she honestly believed what she was telling was true?
