Thanks to a slight nudge from a friend of mine,
(Shout out)
I got off my lazy a$$ and am writing about something that I have recently
Realized to be a crucial aspect to my thoughts and daily life.
Humor.
Now normally people would probably think duh or how cliche it is to say
Humor is an aspect of life that is easily important;
But honestly it's how to recognize it and how to apply it into my life is what
I felt hit me recently.
Now this isn't something profound or prophetic but honestly I realize that humor
Really is a sort of cure all.
I read in an article a few months back about advice from some Navy Seals.
It was what I expected for the most part with general life advice, but in
The end of the article the one thing that they said they all did when
Things got so crazy and scary was to literally just laugh.
Laugh at the insanity of the situation you are in.
It is sort of how the saying goes,
"I guess all one can do in the end is laugh."
How true that is.
And so for me lately I look back sometimes and really how serious we can approach
Life and treat it like some performance or test that is Life AND Death (pun intended)
But really I find that it is the silly, funny, and humorous moments that stick the most for me.
So with this BLOG being a sort of journal for myself I decided to list a couple memories
That I have where I just laugh to death at or make me chuckle.
Humor really does bring you out of the dark when you find yourself stuck in rut.
First let start off with a random memory.
Meet Forrest. Nephew of mine.
So I was in class when I got one of many messages in a mass text from family members.
My family is huge in size so generally it is a mess to read all these texts because
They get going and going...and going.
But I was in class when I saw this picture sent of all my nieces and nephews
Having a cousin reunion. Cute kids all lined up smiling and grinning like little kids do...
Then there is this kid. I zoomed in was so confused but then just seeing this face
This MEEEHHHHHHH face seriously made me laugh so hard in class
That I embarrassed myself and people were staring. I still laugh because I don't understand why this kid made this face for the picture. Rebel.
Another random list of memories.
LaRee (my cousin/ride or die/weird comrade) and I took a road trip several years ago to Disneyland.
Epic time.
But we being the fools we are creating random things to do in Disneyland.
We called it Operation Jackass.
We are so classy and cool can't you tell?
Anyways this list was a list of ideas of things to do while you wait in the infamous long
Lines at Disneyland.
So we mostly created personas to act out and embarrass ourselves.
Some included:
-Being British
-Acting like Rednecks
-Acting like super negative Emo teenagers.
-Acting confused and scared
etc.
Pretty much sums us up.
Our "Magnum" faces in line
FYI I don't enjoy the ride It's A Small World.
Clearly.
Good times in the Happiest Place on Earth. Literally.
Many things had some type of impact on my goofy demeanor and how I
Came to be that Fool.
FYI I truly like to be a well groomed and polite/classy person but
I let my Fool side come out at times ha.
The Simpsons, Calvin and Hobbes, LaRee.
These three things probably are the main ingredients that formulated this
Humor geared person I am today.
I seriously love to laugh and at times find real enjoyment making others lighten up
And not take things so seriously.
Today, internet memes are the go to humor for me. Like I don't follow many actual people on
Instagram.
Instead I seriously follow humor pages and internet meme producers.
What can I say, I'm socially retarded I guess.
Calvin and Hobbes is my heart and sole I realize with humor.
I use to believe I was actually Calvin in cartoon form.
Although I was much more shyer than him as a kid.
To this day I love this kid.
Anyways I don't know how to wrap this up.
I need to remember more funny lists of things.
Until then, just remember as the great Jim Gaffigan said,
So go easy on me for those who actually read this "Blog"
Amen.
