Introductions

I've been told by many people I'm funny. I don't really think this is true. I'd say I'm probably closer to being mildly entertaining, which is actually a very different thing from being funny.

I won't even take credit for me being entertaining. I think a large part of that entertainment factor comes from the random things that happen to me in my life. I don't necessarily think of them as being outrageously ridiculous. I mean, they're pretty ridiculous, don't get me wrong. But over the years I think I've convinced myself that they happen to everyone, I'm just able to see the humor in them instead of embarrassment or frustration. Because of this, I'm more willing to share them with the world than other people are, and people find those stories entertaining.

Why does this matter, and why am I rambling on? (I know you were thinking it. It's okay, I was too). It matters because that's why I'm here; after the prodding and encouragement of several friends, I've decided to share the ridiculous situations in my life with the hope that it might entertain you and possibly make you feel a little better about your life - mainly that what happened to me didn't happen to you. And, I suppose, it's here to help you identify your own ridiculous situations so you can laugh at them, then share that laughter with others.

When life gets a little non-ridiculous, I may pull back to a few months or years in the past to find some good stories to share with the hope that they may brighten your week. Don't worry, there are definitely some gems there; good ones that were ridiculous enough that they have stood the test of time.

So stay tuned, and enjoy! Here's to the embarrassing, ridiculous, completely nonsensical, entertaining things we find in our lives.
