Whenever you receive a gift, there are two standard responses: 1- You didn't have to or 2- "How cuuuuute". I recently received a "gift" from my girlfriend. It was a hair remover thingy wingy. At first I thought, "what the hell am I that hairy? Then I thought, wow she really knows my needs. I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy this device. Can I be honest here? I love it! When I put it up my nose and hear the destruction of unwanted hair, I feel victorious. When I hear the "pop" of the hair being chopped away like an angry lumberjack, I get a certain sense of accomplishment. I feel the same way after taking a shower or buying milk.
There definitely is something satisfying about getting after those nose hairs with one of those trimmers. But, it is frustrating to miss one and not notice it until you're at work and the thing is so long it almost reaches your top lip.
ReplyDeleteThat does suck. It begins to look like antennas.
ReplyDeleteThat's not a present, that's a hint! ;)
ReplyDeleteTrue indeed
ReplyDeleteIsrael, you really have an interesting perspective on life, one which alot of us need to emulate. Alot of us take life way too seriously. Sure,there is a time when we need to be serious, however thanks to your blog, I am beginning to change, to see that there is not just a serious side to life, but another side of us,we all possess if we want to see it,that being a humorous side. I would also like to suggest that this humorous side of us makes us more positive in our outlook towards life, and I thank you for showing myself (and hopefully others),that we have this side of us and need to exercise it daily.
ReplyDeleteThanx Wayne. This means alot to me. To be honest with you, I have asked myself many times why I even blog, thinking that my blog is just silly and with little value for anything practical. I do know that humor is just the flipside to tragedy. One is not that far from the other. In my personal life I have struggles that you can't even imagine but I two choices: despair or humor and I choose humor. I have many sleepless nights where the thoughts aren't pleasant and I have to resort to faith and supplements to stop my racing mind. I joke that this blog is my therapy and I say that only half jesting. I used to question my need to find humor in the mundane and the serious but you are right, life is serious enough. My goal is to make my readers chuckle amid a world filled with stress and chaos. It matters to me to know that at least one person finds some value to my blog. Comments like yours help motivate me to continue with this blog. It couldn't have come at a more perfect time as I am under tremendous stress. As much as I try to give to my readers entertainment, I receive more with support like the one you have shown.
