Good morning, seeing as how it’s pretty effing early. I figured since that hot girl who came over tonight decided to leave just now, after a few hours of sweet love making, I would write something. That’s not true. I’m writing because I just can’t sleep, not because of some hot lady action. Yeah, I’m not surprised either.
It appears I have another critic, which appears not only to dislike me, but who also has enormous fingers. I can only assume that they have enormous fingers because of the poor spelling and lack of proper grammar. It’s either the finger size or the brain size, but I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt.
As I have done before I will post the comment and respond accordingly, since it really isn’t that important anyway.
hey i just got done reading some of yourblogs. (Thank you.) Boy you sure are funny (Double thanks!), not funny haha (Wait a second. This doesn’t sound good.), but funny as in you really think your funny. (Oh. I get it. I actually do think I’m funny. That’s the only thing in my life I’m confident in. Thanks for ruining that for me.) I sorry (Me accept your apology.), but no one needs another artstic free spirt type cast comedian. (I wish I was an artistic free spirit. I’m really just some dope who is kind of funny and has a computer and a lot of free time. That’s about it.) you really must write where people cant read it.(So copy your writing style? Got it.) Its better that way.(So are apostrophe marks.) Ya know if i ramble on long enough i could says something funny (I’m waiting.), its possably.(No it’s notly.) Hey i must be a writer, look how much i wrote. (What the hell?) - bubble_of_doom (The name fits.)
Now I know this is just someone’s opinion. I know that what I write is read by few and enjoyed by even less. However, when it comes to me being funny, that is a fact. As long as I can remember I have been funny. There’s not an ounce of pretension in that either. I don’t believe I’m the funniest person in the world, I just know that I can make people laugh. That’s not a facade that one can just put on either.
I believe you can’t fake funny. You can duplicate almost any personality trait, and make someone believe you are a certain way, when in reality you aren’t. People in most marriages can attest to that. You can pretend to be kind. You can pretend to be smart. You cannot however fake making someone laugh. No one has ever said, “Wow, I laughed a lot at that guy because of things he said or did but it turns out he wasn’t funny at all, despite my laughing at him. It turns out he was ‘fake-funny’. Damn I feel stupid for laughing at him. He really had me fooled.”
As far as assuming that I’m a ‘free-spirit ’ you have no idea. I would like to be a free spirit, however thinking about my apparent illogical fear of dying young and a failure at the same time who will die alone leaving nothing behind but a bunch of subpar writings and memories of the burden I am to other people kind of hinders the free spiritedness with which I’ve been labeled.
As far as being artistic, I once I asked my good friend, and unwitting mentor, comedian David Gray, why it was so hard to see things the way I do. He said, “Having a good sense of humor, and being one who is an artist of sorts, is both a blessing and a curse. You have the ability to see the world in a way that only people with the same type of talent or artistic leanings do, which allows you to express that through humor. It allows you to maybe show people a different way of looking at something. However, you also see the world for all the things it is as far as the negative aspects of it are concerned. You can see the great good and horrible evil that the world is, all at the same time. The real challenge is to hone that skill so that you can focus and see the humor and not the horror in it all.”
Please believe me when I state now that I am not a pretentious person. I have little to no faith in anything in my life aside from my being blessed with a good sense of humor. If I can make just one person laugh then I have done my job on this Earth. I have made people laugh and not by rambling on and on in the hopes that I might accidentally write something funny. That’s a chaotic theory at best and an illogical way to execute any type of humorous writing.
I guess I’ll wrap this up before I accidentally write the funniest thing you’ve ever read. I appreciate the people who read this and understand that my little band of fans exists not because I’m not funny, but because they have as much free time as I do, only they spend that time reading where as I spend it writing and crying at movies I probably shouldn’t be crying at. See. I eventually wrote something kind of funny. Kind of.
RIGHT NOW
SONG - Up So Close by Cake off of Motorcade of Generosity. My friend Adam said that one’s coolness can be determined by which band they like. He said if you like Cake then you’re probably pretty cool. I however really like Cake but am not cool so there goes that theory. I’m like some sort of anti-Fonzie.
MOVIE - Pi directed by Darren Aronofsky. I am the only one in my circle of friends who actually liked this movie. I’m even an outcast amongst my peers. DAMMIT!
Happy Birthday Jacob.
