I am a child; I admit it. Actually, I am a boy in a man's body. Now, over the half century mark in age, I show and feel the effects of being a middle-aged man, however, my mind continues to try to make my body think I am a twelve year old boy.
I don't think I've ever evolved beyond the taste in humor that I developed as a adolescent. My wife would say that the things that I find funny are what she calls "guy funny". Yes, I find humor in pee and poop and bodily noises and all that stuff. Like today, I was on Twitter and I saw this tweet - A male lobster's bladder is located in it's head, when 2 males fight, they squirt each other in the face with urine. So, of course, I was rolling on the floor with laughter thinking about how cool it would be to be a male lobster and squirt urine from my head.
At times in my life, I believe that my sense of humor is the only thing that has saved me. I have this uncanny ability to disengage myself from life sometimes and head into my own little private world. I do this when life gets too stressful or I think I'm at the limit of what my mind can handle. Much to my wife's chagrin, I have decided over the last few years to share some of my private "guy funny" thoughts on this blog and on my favorite social media networks.
Recently, I was shocked to learn that my darling wife doesn't think I'm funny. This came as quite a blow to my Planet Kirby ego because I thought she loved my humor. Actually, she thinks I am funny but not when I try to be funny. I think I get it. She has to endure my silly conversations and "humoristic" comments every day. Please pray for her.
I guess people deal with their stress in many different ways. A lot of people pray; I write jokes. There are three things I try to do every day. The first is meditate. This is where I try and get away from the world and spend some private time with God. It's not so much me talking to God as it is me listening. I praise Him and then I listen.
The second thing I do is practice some random act of kindness. Practice might be the wrong word. Maybe I should say that I perform some random act of kindness. You know, that whole reaping what you sow mentality. Someone I love with all my heart taught me that truth.
The third thing is make someone laugh. Bring some joy into someone else's life. I'll be honest, I don't always feel like laughing but I've found that laughing really is the best medicine. There's nothing like a good belly laugh.
So, if you were reading this blog because you needed a laugh, it looks like Urine luck.
Be Well.
Bill
