2 blogs ago I wrote about my theory of Kanye West running for president. I sang his praises about being brilliant, etc. and that I thought if he ran he would win. I also admitted 2 things:

1 – that I was not going to do any actual research and write about my personal reasons why I think he’d be a good president and;

2 – I was not going to run my ‘Yeezy as President’ theory past PJ before I wrote it.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

I literally wrote that I normally fact check before writing about a public figure so that I don’t look like a moron, but this time I wanted to use my personal observations 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi everyone, my name is Tiffy and I’m a moron. Well, not usually. Usually I’m wicked smaht like Will Hunting, but this time – no.

And as much as I love being an opinionated, free-thinking woman, this may not have been the best time to stop boring my husband with my theories.

He’s so sweet. After he read it, he came into my office and said:

“That was a good blog.”

Me: Oh, really? Thanks!

Him: Yeah, um but, if Kanye West ran, he’d only siphon votes from Biden, and Trump would win.

Shit.

To save a little face, in the comments section of Facebook I actually wrote what PJ said word-for-word.

I was totally hedging to look like I wasn’t 100% on the Ye Train. I also threw in that it was probably too late for him anyway – you know, to look like “Pshhh … I never really thought he should/could win, it was only a theory.”

Well folks, I’d be doing a great disservice to my life guru, Dr. Jake Houseman from Dirty Dancing, if I didn’t say, When I’m wrong, I say I’m wrong.

Oh Lawd Jesus was I WRONG.

I read the Yeezy interview in Forbes yesterday 😳. I also read everyone making fun of Chance The Rapper because he backed Kanye, and was picturing all 5 of my blog readers making fun of me the same way.

So I’m coming clean and I’ll say it again:

When I’m wrong, I say I’m wrong!

However … my first instinct was to cover up, my second instinct was to twist the story, and my third was to forget about it and move on. I was doing exactly what I condemn others for doing all the time, and I did not like myself.

Unfortunately, but fortunately, my brain isn’t wired to forget things, and when something doesn’t sit right, I get this nagging sensation to come clean. It’s really inconvenient and annoying but I often feel better afterwards.

Like now. I’m glad I cleared the air and admitted that I made myself look like a moron.

I still think Kanye is a better person than he is made out to be, but oh my Lord, he should NOT be president 😳

I still wish there were better candidates though. Now Taylor Swift, she would make … ok I’ll shut up now 🤐😂
