Testing, testing, 1....2....3...LAUGH!

Man, what is up with people? I think my sense of humor is okay, Emilie laughs at me anyway. John and Matt laugh most of the time. People laughing these days is a hard thing to come by. I'm starting to think that there aren't many people that want to laugh.

Where is this coming from? Well, I have to tell you....it is work related. At work, social networking sites such as myspace and facebook are used often. Perhaps it's the times, I don't mind so much though. There are people in my company that I just don't get to see that often and the sites let us connect...joke around a lot.

I've asked it before though and I'll ask it again....what is up with those addictions staff? Nothing I post or say comes across funny to those guys. I'm starting to think that maybe Jesus is to blame. Sorry Jesus.

More than once I've posted something on one of their walls that was obviously hilarious to find it deleted soon after. And let me say this...they did not embrace Rod Stewart at all. Who didn' think that shit was funny?

Recently one of the staff wrote a blog praising the Twilight movie and saying more specifically that Edwards character was the best actor. I disagree, totally. You can look back a blog and see that. But I think different opinions are a grand thing so I posted a comment jokingly saying how I disagree and I almost got beat up by angry 12 year olds while lauging my ass off during the entire movie. She then posted a short reply saying she disagreed totally. Where is the fun?

If Emilie would have loved that movie and posted a love blog about it I would have done the same thing. You know what though? She would have went with it. She would have argued her different opinion with me just for the sake of arguing and it would have been good times for the both of us.

Those addictions staff. They just don't know a good time. While I respect how Christianity has led them to a sober life and the fact that it helps them teach their clients that a sober life is better I just don't get why more fun can't be involved.

Of course I am sure if they knew the extent of my lifestyle they wouldn't even be able to look me in the eye. I think it's about celebrating differences....fostering a different point of view. How boring would it be if we all lived the same way?

When I was younger I used to get so pissed off that people didn't think and feel the way I did. I was stubborn. I still am. The difference now though is I love exploring different people. I love discussing different ideas. I know that my way might not be the best way and I know that you have to have fun while you can.

About that pesky religion....we all know I'm agnostic. It doesn't mean I don't believe...just that I can't settle on one belief as the right one. I believe in something higher out there. I just think that higher power probably has a sense of humor. I also believe that it's up to us to learn what we can while we can and what better way to learn than by learning from the variety of people around you.
