A Rainy Day Indeed

Hello Blog World!! Well I am back and am hoping that you all are enjoying my blog as much as I am. From the wonderful comments I can see that I am helping brighten some days and that makes me feel great! Just for your information I have had some people give me ideas for funny things to look out for in my day to day activities. Some of these have been great ideas and I want to thank those people! But hey everyone I know there are lots more ideas out there for funny things to look for... So please feel free to write those down in the comment section of the blog so others can look for the humor side of life as well!! Anyway, on to the blog... Today I awoke to the sound of rain thumping against my window. It startled me at first because a leaf hit the window when I opened the blinds, but I calmed down. haha! After I calmed down the first thing that came to my mind was that today would be a great day to "Simply Observe". Because it was raining so hard I decided to walk so I could carry my umbrella instead of trying to ride my bike AND yield an umbrella at the same time. You would think that the average person would agree to this decision, one for their own safety and two for the safety of others. I mean come on!! Trying to ride a bike and hold an umbrella at the same time is just NOT a good idea! However, what would college be without the people who everyone wonders if they were REALLY accepted or if they just put up the appearance of having an IQ. I kid you not, as I was safely walking to school this morning a bicyclist passed me riding in the road. Not in the little space on the side, but IN the car lane. (The speed on this road is 40mph... Dumb!) And what was he attempting to do??? You guessed it! He was actually trying to ride his bike while holding an open umbrella over his body. Ladies and gentlemen, this was quite the sight. Let me quickly paint the not-so pretty picture. Bicycle+road+line of angry cars+UMBRELLA=Disaster! Obviously focused on keeping his body dry the man... no.... that would be a disgrace to our gender... the idiot completely disregarded the cars behind him. There was no way the bike was traveling at 40 mph! Mainly because half the time the umbrella was acting against his efforts by taking the form of a make-shift parachute pulling him back. By this time I had ceased my walking and was fighting back the all too precious tears of laughter that were filling my eyes. I was holding my sides but still keeping eye contact with the bicycle. It was a symphony for the soul of laughter! Rain as a nice backdrop, honking as ridiculous accents and my laughter as the sweet, sweet melody. Eventually the idiot reached an intersection. I said to myself, "good now he can stop this madness and let the cars pass him. By this time I was still a ways away from the intersection, but I could see him clear as day. To the delight of the cars behind him he pulled his bike to the side of the road. I thought it was over..... But oh was I wrong. This was the climax of the entire ordeal! As the light turned green the cars sped off and doused the idiot in water.. I absolutely lost it!! My sweet, sweet melody turned into an abrupt solo. Sure I felt bad for the idiot, but I absolutely could not help it. He could have handled the situation better. Like possibly try walking to school!?? Anyway.... thats all for now! Stay safe and stay dry! Feel the laughter!!! :)

A Couple Puppies?!

Well hello again everyone! I was deciding on if I should write my blog today or just wait until tomorrow, but this is just too good to wait. So I have a job on my college campus working in a creamery (kinda like a grocery store). I am forced to wake up before anyone else in my apartment complex. Just wait.. Just wait.. 6 AM!!!! Now I know alot of you are saying, "oh, suck it up you wimp," but for a guy who stays up late doing absolutely random things this is absolutely insane. Anyway, I start work at 6:45 and open up the store. You must understand that at this time in the morning, I am not the most cheery person. So the unlucky individuals who choose to enter the store shortly after 7 AM (Heaven knows why?!?!) sadly, are not receiving the "best" customer service. One of these individuals was an older man seemingly on top of the world. After placing his orange juice on the counter he uttered the words that sparked this blog, "oh, and throw in a couple of those puppies". I immediately became very confused and simply asked the man to, "please clarify". After making a head-nod motion towards the donut case on the counter I knew he was looking to satisfy his sweet tooth. (If he had any... ba da crash! haha) Just kidding!! There were two types of donuts in the case, maple and glazed twists. The man was being absolutely stubborn. How hard it is to say, "maple"? Now I know saying, "glazed twist," is a little more of a challenge, but I mean come on!! So after grasping a piece of wax paper I opened the donut case and decided to make a decision. I knew I had a 50/50 percent chance of picking the right donut so I went with my first instinct, maple. The old man about lost his mind. "No! Not maple that's disgusting..." Ladies and gentlemen, he had the nerve to say that. I mean maple is delicious!! A quality pastry topping! haha I'm kidding. I mean he had the nerve to say that after not specifying his desires in the first place. So I placed, "a couple of puppies" in a bag for him and handed it to him. I gave him a half smile and sadly, forgot my usual, "have a nice day," remark. But as he was leaving I said, "Sir?? You enjoy eating those puppies!" He tilted his head as though he didn't quite comprehend what I had just said. Right then and there I knew that I had won. His ineffectiveness of communication turned out to be his ultimate downfall. The only thing that haunts me now is that those "puppies" are gone forever. I wonder what others will call things in the store?? I bet I could confuse quite a number of people by referring to things in the store as animals or even people's names... ex "Cheese?? Oh! Yeah you mean kittens.. They are in the fridge." Well, that's all for now.. Always remember, in order to laugh at ourselves, we must first laugh at others! haha :)

Well That's Interesting

Well hello everyone, and welcome to my blog! I am pretty new to this craze of internet expression so just stay with me and forgive any mistakes I might make! Okay?! Okay!! I am not going to start off with any type of introduction about myself because frankly, I could careless if you knew my favorite color or what I would do with a million dollars if I won it. But you can sure e-mail me or find me on facebook and discover tons of important information about me like what my eye color says about me and the initials of the person who is crushing on me! (Wow, lots of sarcasm haha) Anyway, let me get to the interesting stuff! I created this blog because I recently discovered that I observe alot more than most people. I was sitting in a class today staring at a man who was feverishly attempting to remove a piece of what looked like Big Red gum off his shoe. The man who's name I later discovered to be, "Greg" looked up quickly and asked, "What are you looking at?" A little taken back by the bluntness of his remark I answered, "Oh, Simply Obersving." He informed me of his terrible day consisting of various, "day downers". I felt somewhat sad and a little bummed for him, but started laughing out-loud uncontrollably! "Greg" had been scraping at the gum the entire length of our conversation and had made no progress! I found this to be overwhelmingly funny. Immediately realizing I had forgotten my manners I apologized to "Greg" and focused on the starting class.
So this is why I am starting this blog. I want the rest of the world to share in the everyday humor we call life! In order to laugh at ourselves, we must first laugh at others.... pause... HAHAHA Look forward to reading and laughing! Stay close to a restroom in case of a humor-related "accident", and never read at church or in the middle of a class, you might disrupt others with uncontrollable laughter! Life is humor, and humor is life! Lets enjoy it together...
