Brutal Honesty, Part Two

I am observant.
Like an eagle, soaring through the air,
Taking in all it sees.
You would never know that by talking to me; I try to be discreet.
By not allowing people to realize what I know,
I can claim ignorance.

It really upsets me that NBC is the least-popular of the Big Four TV networks.
I don't watch much TV, but seriously.
30 Rock.
The Office.
Saturday Night Live.
And so many other good shows that I don't care for.

I'm overweight. Not obese, but I'm above my ideal weight.
It sucks.
I signed up at the gym last year.
I try to go there every morning.
But I haven't been in a week.
Just been too busy.
But then I asked...
Busy with what?
That is why, today, I publicly make a pledge.
I want to lose at least fifteen pounds by September.
Can I do it? Probably.
Will I do it? To be determined.

The only way to be completely honest is to never lie.
No matter how embarrassing an answer is.
No matter how hard it is for you to an answer a question honestly.
My second pledge, therefore, is a pledge of honesty.
I will still lie; everyone does.
But, I will strive not to. Just remind me of my pledge.
Then ask me anything.
No matter how hard it is for me to answer, I will.
That is my second pledge.

Politics.
I consider myself a rational liberal.
I will be a member of the Democratic Party.
But that doesn't necessarily mean I always agree with them.
I am my own person, and I have my own opinions.
I am rational.
I don't feel the need to outline my full political agenda now;
That, my friends, is reserved for the future of the blog.

If the blog has a future.
(It does.)
