Blathering on

This entire post is fiction, I get bored some days. ENJOY!



My current health care provider/therapist, of questionable descent, sat me down promptly on the couch of retrospective contemplation and asked the following questions.

Where was my life going?
What was I doing with it? (it being "my life")
How did I feel about the current events that had transpired?
Was I in a fulfilling relationship?

I cannot explain the panic I felt at the thought that I may have to search through my feelings and spew out answers to these questions.

I had failed horridly in my life, according to them.
I wasn't going anywhere currently.
And I felt just awful about the lot of it.
My perspective of relationships could be summed up in one word, complicated.

Then I began to realize that I could never be something I was not.
My life was in a rut, I wasn't that upset about it.
I wasn't keen on moving.
I wasn't going to win the beauty contest next week, which was okay.
I wasn't going to be president of the chess club, but I could still play chess.
I wasn't going to join a sorority, big deal.
My relationships were on the verge of non-existence, but I liked myself.

Afterwards I felt as if a hole had been carved in my brain. All of my feelings of self-worth were gone at the beginning of the session; in one fell swoop therapy/and therapist had rendered me just another mindless zombie in a stream of mindless zombies, but I thought it through and…

I quit going to therapy.
I decided humor was my friend.

Since then I've been a much better person.
And now, I take this into mind when I am in a relationship.
xkcd
over all, I laugh more and think less. Isn't life funny?

Plus I get to spend all this free/unimportant time reading certain web comics....

obsession

Welcome to my addiction.

In the past few days I have started and finished a total of three online comic strips, three for goodness sakes.

I’m beginning to think my life revolves around what I read online; perhaps it feeds some inner hunger for knowledge, perhaps it soothes and calms my tortured soul, whichever it is I'm happy about it.

My latest completed reads include: Questionable Content, Bunny, and Warren Bunny.

Daily reads include: xkcd, Toothpastefordinner, and Unshelved (an entire comic/web comic dedicated to the library).

I find I’m addicted to the puns, snarky comments, pop culture references, and of course the drawings. All of which are available online, to read at my convenience. yay!

Thank you writers of online comics, you have saved me from boredom.

My recommendation for today:
Questionable Content

Please feel free to suggest a comic you find entertaining.

The comic that started it all...

I work in an office. It is an average office, I'd assume. I sit at a desk and put information into a computer day in and day out. In short, it's a very boring job.

One day, in the not too distant past, a friend sent me a link to this comic. And it snowballed from there.

So, with this comic, I institute my Comic of the Week. And it begins with Toothpaste For Dinner.

Good Afternoon, All...

You can think of this as a social experiment, a study in humor.

Actually, it all started when I was a wee little child. I have memories that formed from early on, I'd say I was 2 days old. I can remember reading comics and laughing uncontrollably at the uncanny satire expressed in them.

Armed with this vast experience and my extreme intelligence, I will dissect the comics, tell you which are good, and which are horribly stupid. And you will like it because I say so.

Thanks for listening,

D.
