I'll Start Right Around Here

I’ve debated for so long on how I would start my next writing. What I would talk about or when. Will I be able to say everything I think about. There are so many questions.  I feel I’ve had a lot of life experiences, but without having many. Keeping an open mind has truest shaped how I think and who I am today.

I figure I’ll start off with one of my earliest memories. I  was in Little Rock AFB and I had a neighbor and we were outside playing. One day we were talking and I told a joke. He then said to me along the lines of, “You’re a loser cause you laugh at your own jokes.” It really stuck with me for no particular reason at all during that time. I must have been 9 or 10. I really thought about it and took it to heart. If I didn’t think what I was talking about was funny, then why even say it at all. I absolutely love watching stand up comedians who try and tell a joke and they can not finish it cause it is that funny to them. If you are constantly worrying about how you portray your self to other people, then you’ll never live to your most potential. Yea, yea how cliche of me to say. Take it as you will. Laugh a little or laugh a lot. My true happiness is making the people around me laugh. Whether or not I am an asshole in the process is another thing. Becoming an asshole makes the laughter that much better.people love to see other people’s flaws. We dwell on drama for sure.  My generation is so caught up on feelings and red flags that we’ll never have a good time again because we are so much tip toeing around everyone.

In the end it comes down to observing people and their mannerisms. Is it appropriate to say or do certain things. Do they look uncomfortable or shy in anyway? Yes, I’m saying be yourself and don’t be afraid. However I am also saying to be respectful. My generation has lost so much respect it’s unbelievable. We feel we are so entitled to everything. Respect your elders first and foremost. They’ve been here well before you were even a thought. They’ve experienced more than you know. You give respect first. Then receive it later. Don’t expect anything otherwise. Cause then you are being entitled.

I recently was sick and had the flu for the first time. It was painful to say the least. But I just remember thinking all the time that I couldn’t wait to laugh again and how much I missed it. I’ve been told I have a unique laugh. Yea I suppose I do. It could be a curse, (Because I am a loud person) or it could be a blessing.



“Joke em’ if they can’t take a fuck.”
