Pet Peeve

There are only a few things in this world that truly bug me. One is when the violin and viola bows in an orchestra are not going the same direction at the same time, but that is not what I have decided to blog about today. Which means that more than just a handful of people will understand what I am talking about. No, today I am choosing to talk about how much I hate liars.

One of the most endearing things about my husband is that his word means something. If he tells me that he will take out the trash, I know that it will be done. If he promises to take the five year old to the park after work, no matter how tired he is, they will be going to the park. A promise is a promise.

For some reason, this basic principle of life does not seem to translate to the blog world. I have been reading
"The Server" lately and I have been enjoying his posts. However, he has committed the carnal sin of promising a post "tomorrow", and then not delivering. I mean really, I don't care if he posts tomorrow or not. My life will go on whether or not I get to read his silly little stories about serving food to ungrateful people. No, what has me irritated is that he promised a post and then didn't deliver. If you don't plan on following through, don't promise in the first place! Now this little man is not the only one out there who tends to use this practice of not delivering on a promise. It makes me want to remove his name immediately from my "blogs that I read" column and forever blot out that website from my memory. But then, I am tired, which should explain the wonderful rambling blog post of mine... At least I didn't assure you all that I would post today and then not. I posted without telling anyone that I was going to do so. I guess that puts me one step ahead of the game.
