I Am: Funny

I am...


Somewhat funny.



How would you describe your sense of humour?

-Non-existent?

-Lets-others-make-the-jokes?

-Immature? (FYI, if you are a 12-year-old boy or a 27-year-old with the mind of a 12-year-old boy, you fall in the latter description.)

This is my description:

Corny, extra dry with a side of "Was that supposed to be a joke?", and a hint of irony.

In other words, if you are one of those people who just don't "get" jokes, you can be my friend.

However, if you are one of those people that just laughs out of politeness or obligation, don't let the door hit your ass on the way you.

Listen stranger: If you don't have a sense of humour, just come out and admit it already!

Stop with the polite half-chuckles that end in awkward silence when both you and the joke-teller realize that you don't get the humour.

That's the great thing about humour - It's not "Is it funny?" but rather "Do I get it?"

All humour is funny - if you get it.

So, if you don't, do yourself a favour and just admit it. Then, change the subject before the joke-teller tries to explain the joke.

Speaking of funny, here's something that I find absolutely hilarious:

Ahmed the Terrorist

If you don't find it funny, you just don't get it - and this is better to admit than to think that you don't have a sense of humour.

I'd rather be stupid than lack a sense of humour.

And that's what makes me different. Boo-ya!

I am: A Loner

Yes, I am a loner.












But in which respect? And why does this make me different?

I karaoke (YouTube, Microphone, and all that jazz) by myself.

Yes, by myself.

I know, I'm a freak of nature.

[sings] And I'm looooovin' it!

Other things that make me a loner:
-- I rarely go out to "party." In fact, I've never been to a club and have no desire to go. I'm a homebody and proud of it. For the record, the fact that I don't go to party probably makes me the only 20-year-old to get the recommended 8 to 9 hours of sleep.

-- I went through the first two years of high school and barely talked to anybody. Unless of course, they talked to me. I'd be just plain rude not to say something back. So I said "Yes" or "No" or "I don't know."

-- I only have two friends that are in my age bracket. They're my best friends and that's all I really need. Quality over quantity any day, foo!

-- The rest of my friends are all older. Somehow, people who have already settled down are far less eye-roll worthy than some of the fools my own age. (Yes, I know. If you're the fool I'm talking about, you think I'm a fool too. C'est la vie. xD)

-- I'm an only child. That makes me a loner from the day that I was born.

And guess what?

"It's better to be alone than to be lonely."

So say what you want but I love my loner self. You should too, you loner!

This way, you can be different, just like me.

And we can extend our forefinger and thumbs in the shape of an L together. Then, we'll be friends and no longer loners.


Bazinga!!

I Am: Addicted

Yes, that's right.

I am different because I am addicted...


To TV shows!






Here is where you can berate me for berating you about all the time you spend on Facebook. I waste all of my time watching astronomical amounts of TV shows.

Well, it couldn't be that bad, you say. I follow two or three TV shows myself.

Yeah, I wish! I wish I only watched "two or three" TV shows.

Let's count them all, shall we?

1. House

This one I am not embarrassed to admit I watch. It is what I would, in my professional opinion, consider a better quality of TV entertainment.

2. Glee

This is a recent addiction. And for somebody that doesn't even like musicals!

3. 90210

Yes, I know. How could I? Don't worry, it get's worse:

4. Gossip Girl

See. I told you. Again, no idea why I watch this but alas...

5. How I Met Your Mother

I'm starting to wane away from this one, thankfully. Too bad it's a half-hour show instead of the full hour. Didn't save much time there.

6. The Big Bang Theory

Another one of the better ones out there. This one I would recommend!

7. Chuck

Yes, I'm still counting:

8. Burn Notice

This is one heck of a hot summer show.

9. Lie to Me

With the numbers building up, I am embarrassed to admit: Thank goodness it was saved!

10. Bones

Yes, I'm STILL counting. Shut up, will ya?

11. Human Target

I know, I know! You've never even heard of this show, eh?

12. Survivor

I only watched the previous two seasons and I have vowed (for obvious reasons) to not watch it anymore.

13. Castle

Last but not least.


THIRTEEN FREAKIN' SHOWS!

There is something wrong with me!

If you're reading this..HELP ME!

I know I don't need to ask: "Are you different just like me?" because nobody is as insane as I am in this regard.

And here is the kicker:

I don't even own a TV.

I Am: Interesting

I am....


Interesting?





Well, full of interesting facts, anyway.

Here are some off the top of my head:

-> The term "Mad Men" was coined to describe advertising executives on Madison Avenue way back when I wasn't even born. They coined it.

-> No two zebras are identical in their stripes, much like snowflakes and fingerprints.

-> In addition to zebras, snowflakes and fingerprints, no two people have the same tongue print. (I have two zebras. How many do you have? xD)

-> Jackie Chan goes through about 50 suits per stunt.

-> Running outside is a more effective workout than running on a treadmill due to the fact that no street is perfectly straight, often times the wind is against you, and unlike a treadmill, the ground beneath you isn't propelling you forward. They say you should run at an incline of 1.5 to get the same benefits on a treadmill.

-> When lions roar, they roar towards the ground so that their prey does not know where the roar is coming from and often times, runs straight to the lion.

-> Horses are all warm-blooded. However, different breeds are also described as being hot-blooded, warm-blooded, or cold-blooded. Thoroughbreds, Arabians, and a few other breeds are described as hot-blooded. These horses have enormous energy and are lean body-wise. Cold-blooded horses are working horses; slower, sturdier, larger horses like the Clydesdale:



-> The racing horse Secretariat was a horse known for literally leaving his competitors in the dust, as well as for setting several records, some of which stand even today. Another interesting fact: Most horses, when they race, they finish each racing distance at a declining pace. However, it was said that Secretariat, near the end, often times finished at an accelerating pace. That is, each racing distance was run faster than the previous.

-> Hitler's mother contemplated abortion.

-> A photo camera works exactly the same way as your eye. The two are so similar that parts of the camera even shares a name with parts of the eye. Other things that borrow from nature: airplanes, cars, Velcro, medical advancements, and more!

-> Crocodiles and alligators are distinguishable by a tooth that sticks out for the one and not the other. Now if only I could remember which is which...

Well there you have it. A few off the top of my head.

Disclaimer:

While I know some of these are facts, the validity of others is disputable - by myself and others. Nonetheless, all are, I think, interesting. :)

How many did you not previously know?

Are you full of interesting facts too, just like me, or are you know of those that just can't remember worth a damn? xD
