I’ve noticed that the weblog has been a bit of a tug-o-war at times. I prefer to use it as an outlet for humor- that’s my favorite gear.

But, I also like to talk about stuff that happens or has happened in my life. Good or bad. Not to whine, just to get it out. Like yesterday when I heard some bad news, I first tried to call a few friends. No one was picking up, so I hit the blog. All better, I return to my work.

The problem is, when you look at the “finished product” it’s a bit of a mess. It reads like ha ha ha ha oooooooo damn ha ha ha ha. I dunno. Maybe it’ll seem natural someday. It would be too complicated to seperate it all into more than one blog.

I guess this is how I like it- my humor is kind of like that too. My funny side really developed in adolescence as a vehicle to vent stuff I was going through in a pill people could swallow. I’d find a way to extract something funny from serious or sad stuff. I also like to ad a bit every so often that makes you feel a little guilty for laughing. The mix brings you back to earth, makes stuff more real.

I guess I’ll just see where all this goes.

It is impossible to keep a blog all funny all the time…or all serious all the time. A good mixture of all human emotions, trials, tribulations, news, etc. is good! :) Keep it coming! :)

I know what you mean. Writing it out can be somewhat cathartic.

It’s always fun when at work, your boss tells you “go home, write in your blog to get it out of your system.” It just creeps me out that he read it.

I do the same thing, bro. I wanna be funny, but, I think there’s times people need to understand that we can’t be funny all the time. It’s a hard row to hoe (heh, hoe), but I manage. If it’s too depressing, I just don’t post. If it’s not site worthy, I just don’t bother.

If people can’t understand that we’re more than just bits and bytes, then they shouldn’t be reading in the first place. We can’t be real people when people won’t let us be real. And if they don’t like it, well…this is a family site. I won’t say what they can do.

Where does the serious face fit in?
