Funny comic

This morning while searching around for something to get me laughing, I went to Calvin & Hobbes archives. Along with Dilbert, this is one of the only comics which can still get a chuckle out of me.

You create your reality

The Dalai Lama says the first step towards happiness is in learning.

I've been doing a lot of self-help reading and thinking and listening lately. Excerpts from books on tape and quotes around the net. One theme I have been bumping into over and over is about happiness. You cannot depend on someone else for your happiness. It is no one's responsibility but yourself to be happy.

Finding happiness is like finding yourself. You don't find happiness, you make happiness. You choose happiness. Self-actualization is a process of discovering who you are, who you want to be and paving the way to happiness by doing what brings YOU the most meaning and contentment to your life over the long run." - David Leonhardt


Happiness is not something that comes to you; it's not something you receive from other people. It is something you create now, today. Waiting for something or someone to change in order to be happy is waiting to live your life. It is not what happens to you that counts. It is how you react to what happens to you. It is your attitude. When you adopt a positive attitude, life becomes a rewarding adventure instead of something to get through.

Life should be an adventure! An awfully big adventure!

Whether you want more happiness in your life or some sort of purpose, you have to live, right? But the problem is, most people are looking in all the wrong places. Career. Money. Relationships. Power. Yet, esoteric teachings claim all answers lie within you. It's not about what car you drive or how many friends you have. There is nothing externally which can bring you true happiness. You can surround yourself and suck the energy out of your environment but eventually it will be sucked dry. And what will you have left...you...going through withdrawal...needing to get a fix of the external something which you depended on for happiness.

Ah well, I have to get working now, but I thought I'd share my brain waves this morning. Happy Friday!

Making the pizza, rolling the dough

Every single time I watch this video clip I laugh hysterically. Today I pulled it up for a quick Monday laugh, but I'm in my office and well I didn't want to laugh hysterically.

So I tried to hold in the laughter, but then it became a snort laugh. And the snort laugh made me laugh harder. I can't even imagine what it must have sounded like outside my office door. Lol.



Two of my favorite actors! I do love me some comedic dance scenes. =o)

Smack your leg funny


Knock knock.
Who's there?
Irish.
Irish who?
Irish you a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

*~*~*~*~*

What is out on the lawn all summer and is Irish?
Paddy O'furniture

*!*!*!*!*

Paddy was tooling along the road one fine day when the local policeman, a friend of his, pulled him over.

"What's wrong, Seamus?" Paddy asked.

"Well didn't ya know, Paddy, that your wife fell out of the car about five miles back?" said Seamus.

"Ah, praise the Almighty!" Paddy replied with relief. "I thought I'd gone deaf!"

*@*@*@*@*

"I married an Irishman on St. Patrick's Day."
"Oh, really?"
"No, O'Reilly!"

Saturday night fun

Because at 9:30 p.m. on a Saturday night Braeden is watching Scooby Doo in his room and Brian and I are laying in bed with our laptops comparing facts about Chuck Norris and Vin Diesel.

I decided to let you share in our laughs.

I am in love with Vin, not because I think he is a fantastic actor but because I adore his voice. All he'd have to do is call me on the phone. =o) I must warn you, there are explicit facts to follow.

Vin Diesel invented black. In fact, he invented the entire spectrum of visible light. Except pink. Tom Cruise invented pink.

If you freeze frame #3,000,547 of The Empire Strikes Back, you can actually see Vin Diesel cut off Luke Skywalker's hand with a Ginsu Knife.

When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Vin Diesel.

If you rearrange the letters in Vin Diesel it reveals his credo: "I End Lives."

There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Vin Diesel allows to live.

Crop circles are Vin's way of telling the world that sometimes corn needs to lie the fuck down.


And Brian has always been very interested in the facts about Chuck Norris. So much so that Santa left a book (that has now been pulled off shelves because good ol' Chuck decided to sue the writer) of Chuck Norris facts for him to peruse.

Leading hand sanitizers claim they can kill 99.9 percent of germs. Chuck Norris can kill 100 percent of whatever the fuck he wants.

Once a cobra bit Chuck Norris' leg. After five days of excruciating pain, the cobra died.

Chuck Norris can delete the Recycling Bin.

Chuck Norris was originally cast as the main character in 24, but was replaced by the producers when he managed to kill every terrorist and save the day in 12 minutes and 37 seconds.

Fighting

Brian and I had a verbal lashing of sorts last night. To be perfectly honest I don't know why it went down the way it did. However this morning I woke up feeling like I had a good night's sleep and I actually feel a little bit less stressed. So maybe I needed to blow off some steam? Release pent up negative energy? I don't know.

My friend Barb shared a funny with me this morning and I thought I'd share it will all you witty people out there!
I rear-ended a car this morning.
So there we are alongside the road The driver slowly gets out of the car
. . . and you know how you just-get-sooo-stressed and life-stuff seems
to get funny?

Yeah, well, I could NOT believe it . . . he was a DWARF!

He storms over to my car, looks up at me and says, "I AM NOT HAPPY!"
So, I look down at him and say, "Well, which one are you then?"

. . . and that's when the fight started . .

Thursday Thirteen: Mitch Hedberg Jokes


Thirteen Jokes from Mitch Hedberg


Mitch Hedberg (rest his soul) is/was one of my favorite comedians. His jokes are off the wall and silly but they make me laugh. The kind of laugh where your face is red, your body is shaking and you can't breathe but no sound escapes your mouth. =o)

I think the tone of his voice and how he'd let certain words linger would make things somehow even funnier. Everything he says is just sarcastic and hysterical.

1. "All these jokes have been pre-approved as funny by me."

2. "An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience."

3. "Chicago is known as the Windy City, and Montana is called the Big Sky State, so I think that we should somehow combine the two to create the ultimate kite-flying experience."

4. "A waffle is like a pancake with a syrup trap."

5. "I like refried beans. That's why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they're just as good and we're just wasting time. You don't have to fry them again after all."

6. "I want to get a vending machine, with fun sized candy bars, and the glass in front is a magnifying glass. You'll be mad, but it will be too late."

7. "Is a hippopotamus a hippopotamus, or just a really cool Opotamus?"

8. "People teach their dogs to sit; it's a trick. I've been sitting my whole life, and a dog has never looked at me as though he thought I was tricky."

9. "The depressing thing about tennis is that no matter how good I get, I'll never be as good as a wall."

10. "You know when they have a fishing show on TV? They catch the fish and then let it go. They don't want to eat the fish, they just want to make it late for something."

11. "See, this CD is in stores. The only way I could get my last CD into a store was to take one in there and leave it. "Sir, you forgot this!" "No, I did not. That is for sale. Please alphabetize it."

12. "I was walking by a dry cleaner at three a.m., and it said "Sorry, we're closed." You don't have to be sorry. It's three a.m., and you're a dry cleaner. It would be ridiculous for me to expect you to be open. I'm not gonna walk by at ten and say, "Hey, I walked by at three, you guys were closed. Someone owes me an apology. This jacket would be halfway done!"

13. "I went camping once, and got into an argument with a girlfriend in the tent. This is a really bad place to get in an argument, because I walked out and attempted to "slam the flap." How are you supposed to express your anger in this type of situation? Zipper it up really quick? *Zipper Noise* !

ROFL! See! Hahahahahahaha!

I am easily amused, this is true, but come on, you have to admit that this is funny.

This comic is dedicated to Tink from Pickled Beef. Because she had a rough say on Friday. Damn batteries!

Sunny days and allergies

I feel like my allergies get worse each year. Yesterday Braeden wanted to chase me and have me chase him outside. He was having so much fun, but it got to the point where I could hardly even breathe. And then I was all but disabled by the effects later on in the night. My entire body itched, even my throat and the roof of my mouth. I was so uncomfortable. But Brae loves to be outside. I don't want him to sacrifice anything just because I'm all types of defunct.

And I'm worried about Ag Day next Saturday because I really want to go with Brae and Brian, but I know I'll be so sick afterwards. There is only so much medicine you can take and truthfully it doesn't work very well for me.

But the weekend was gorgeous and so is today. All sunshine and warm weather, it's perfect, I just wish I could further enjoy it.

Brian was good to me all weekend. Bought me medicine, looked after me and watched The Food Network with me almost non-stop because that is all I had the energy or will to do. He's the best!

Hermione Granger and Coyotes

That's right. No connection, just need to talk about both subjects.

1. Hermione Granger. Remember the 1st Harry Potter movie where Hermione Granger had huge, frantically crazy hair? Yes. Well, I know how she felt then, because I'm feeling that way right now. My hair is out of control and should be feared.

2. Coyotes. Debbie, from work, just told me about the coyote who ventured into a Quizno's in Chicago. So, I hate to look it up and find out what happened. There are many article covering the situation, but the Chicago Sun-Times is who I clicked on first.
"The door had been propped open on the warm afternoon, and the small coyote entered and tried to nose its way to the food preparation area, according to employees."
Oh dear. Haha. The vision just cracks me up. Poor thing must have thought it was all a mirage or something. Maybe it isn't clear on what it means to be a coyote. Who knows? But props to the small wolf for being so bold as to seek shelter, food and cooler temperatures. Very well done.

=o)

Someone please tell me this is not true.

They did NOT spend energy, money and time to create this ridiculous thing!
