Words to Laugh By

For the last year and a half I have been compiling thoughts in a note on my tablet. Some have made their way on to Facebook, but most have remained in short hand in the same file. I knew I wanted to express these stray thoughts in some form, but wasn't sure how. I didn't want to do a blog because no one reads blogs. I had to do something soon though because I reviewed the file and found I couldn't remember what the notes meant. I decided that a blog, though not my preferred medium, would, in fact, be the most effective way to ramble. So for the last 5 weeks I've been telling myself I would start it, and now I finally am.

The thoughts I had been keeping track of were sarcastic comments I wanted to remember in case the opportunity ever arose. But, sarcasm is only funny in the moment and can't be forced into a conversation. It must flow naturally. On the Internet though, I can write what I want because, who cares? right? I'm not sure what to call the posts to follow. Bits? Jokes? Wasted time? I don't know what to expect of this blog (certainly not world wide recognition). I do know that I want to share the funnier side of life, which is easier to do if I can just write the story.

If you know me, you know I cannot make it through any conversation without being sarcastic or joke in some way. Let's face it. Life is hilarious. Studies show that optimists live longer, so consider this medicine. I don't like dwelling on negatives but rather endure to change them. Humor is vital to a good life and comes in many forms. I know this hasn't been a funny post thus far, but I wanted to give a forerunner of what's to come. Hopefully on this blog I will have gotten through all my notes. The stories to follow make me laugh and if I'm lucky, you'll laugh too. I can't promise the posts will be regular. Some will be short. Some will be long. I'll write when I can (it took me half an hour just to set up this stupid page). Stay tuned. Same bat time. Same bat channel.
