A journal of lies

One of the things I am going to attempt to do in this
journal is document every lie I tell every day. Perhaps
this will help me.

Today I wanted to visit my friend on the set of a TV show
filming in Midtown. I left a message on his cell phone
saying that I "just wanted to talk to him before I went
over." The truth was, I had lost the directions he gave me.
Why I lied about that I have no idea.

The second lie:

Yesterday I made an appointment to see a chiropractic about
my back. Since then and after having talked with my
girlfriend I decided that perhaps a chiropractic is not the
best idea. Before I could call him to cancel he called me
to find out some info on my insurance. I was on the line
with someone else and didn't have the time to talk to him.
I told him that I "might have to cancel as one of my friends
may need my help this afternoon." Lie. Then I called him
back and told him that "yes, my friend needs help moving and
could I call him back on Monday to reschedule when my new
work schedule comes out." Lie lie lie. I am not going to
call him back and no work schedule is coming out. I did
this not to hurt his feelings, I guess. What was i going to
say? That I didn't think I wanted to go to a chiropracter.
That I was having second thoughts and was going to go to a
general doctor first? That's the truth...it wouldn't have
hurt that much to say it.

So there are two lies for today. I wonder how many others I
will tell before tomorrow.
