"friend 1st, boss 2nd, entertainer 3rd"

I wanted to start off by saying thank-you to all 11 followers! And Geoff for attempting to follow but failing to be smarter than the google machine. I'm happy to have you 11 (sorta 12), and a good friend once told me, for every one follower, there is 4 lurkers. And I do love a lurker.

Have you laughed today? Have you laughed much this week? Laughing for me is a necessity. If you cant laugh, life just isn't good. My best days usually are counted by how happy I was! Did I laugh till it hurt? Did I make anyone else laugh? Is there a way I can find to do both?

There are people that you can always count on for a good laugh. The best people in life are the ones that can see the humour in almost any situation. They can BE the joke once in a while. Most of my good friends are hilarious. I'm drawn to them. And I like all kinds of funny. Funny sarcastic. Funny stupid. Even funny sad. Funny sad? Things are so sad and just so pathetic that you gotta laugh. Did your baby really just poop in the tub? sigh... Did your car tire just go flat for the 5th time? (This is usually where all my humor stems from) If you can laugh and not take things too seriously, your ok by me (for what that's worth to you, ha)

A show I can watch over and over is the Office. Michael Scott(Steve Carell) comes out with these truly great lines, and he doesn't even know he's funny. I like people like that. I KNOW people like that. They entertain me. They say the most horribly funny things, its almost appalling. It makes you cringe and leaves you wanting to hear more. Michael Scott is the Pro at this... My favorite line, and perfect example of sad funny is this: "I love inside jokes. I'd love to be a part of one some day." -Michael Scott. If you haven't seen it before, check it out. You might thank me.

If you haven't been laughing, I sure hope you find something, or someone, to help. Maybe your looking too hard, or maybe your not looking hard enough... Dr Seuss has always been a favorite writer of mine. He's a classic. He knows how to say things so simply and yet, poetically. No Its not deep, not if you don't want it to be anyhow. But I will leave you with a quote that I found from the good Dr,

"
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.”

And remember, there not laughing at you....
