What's so hard about being funny?

So as I sat and read an earlier post I realized... man, why are all my blog postings so sappy. One friend of mine likened it to a Hallmark card. To know me is to know that this isn't necessarily how I am. I actually live in a world surrounded by comedy but somehow it's just not how I write. For instance: Behind me right now is a cat. Her name is Annie Oakley. She is, as I write this, switching between two activities. 1: Trying to lick the very center of her back where I devilishly placed her hairball cream earlier today. By now it isn't so much a cream, it's really more a booger in her hair but nevertheless, she is determined. 2: Taking a break from that she is spending time alternating between walking in and dipping her whole face in her water dish.... We're pretty sure there's something wrong with her.

Then earlier tonight, these too boys sitting in front of us at the football game were having a whole bucket of laughs. They started out by sleeping through the whole first half and then when they got up, the real fun began. These boys were brothers and probably about 5 and 7. At first they did simple things like spraying each other in the eyeball with a mister spray trying to see who could keep their eye open the longest. Soon after that the older one stepped back and punched the young one right across the mouth. The younger retaliated with a harder punch that caught his brother in the jaw. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, here were two little boys sitting with their dad at a football game minding their own business just, oh you know, punching each other in the face. After about 5 or 6 exchanges the dad finally turned around and laughingly asked, "What's goin on over here?" Man I hope my kid's a boy sometimes.

Anyway so I guess my point in all this is that sometimes it isn't always easy to make a point writing funny stuff. But maybe I don't need a point. After all, all this thing really is is a chance for me to sit down and talk about what's up with me. I really appreciate all those of you who have been reading my posts when I put new ones up. It means alot that you take time out of your busy hours of boredom at work, your late night hours when you can't figure out what to do but you don't want to go to bed, and your drunken hours where almost any link on facebook looks interesting. Seriously, thanks. I'll keep you in mind and try to be slightly more entertaining.

If you really want funny, comment below and let me know. I'll relay a story on here about a guy I knew in jhigh that was old enough to drive and used to hide in his car during football practice... in full pads. He was a role model to us all.
