HAS THIS HAPPENED TO YOU?

Over the past two days I've received brief phone calls from people that believed they had dialed, or selected (for those cell phone users) another number other than my own. The funny part is it takes them about an average of 15 seconds to say "Wait a minute, is this John?" to which I respond, "Yeah, who'd you think it was?" The best part is at that moment I discovered the context of what they were saying before they realized it was me. So far nothing was bad, nor had anything to even do with me, but it opens the door to something else.

That is what we tell each other isn't exactly what we tell someone else. In short we don't necessarily lie, but rather conform the truth towards our audience. I'm sure you've seen it, or done it before. You know, where you tell the guys you met a very attractive girl today and you could tell she was flirting, but when you mention it to your current love interest you just say you met some girl as if it was worth mentioning, but not really worth bragging about (not that I've ever done that darlin, just giving an example).

Anyway, the best example I could give was the time my friend got a phone call from a girl he was dating (not seriously) and she had told him she was looking forward to going on their date this Friday. He said, "I thought we were going out on Saturday", she said no and that she had some function on Saturday. He replied, "I thought you knew I couldn't go out on Friday." Then she says in a questioning voice, "Mike?" I laughed when he told me what he said, "It was nice getting to know you, I hope you have a great date on Friday." Then promptly deleted her number from his phone and his life.

I believe things happen for reasons. Mistakes usually happen with good reason. Anyway, I just wanted to post something since I've been the worst Blog writer lately. Take care my brothas and sistas. Peace
