Oh what a relief...

Okay. I made a decision. Right or wrong, I decided to drop my comedy writing class. I know, I know...I'm running away but you would believe the stress it was causing me. I mean. I feel bad for giving up but oh so good that I don't have to study, read or write something I find so hard to do. It's like this huge weight is off my shoulders.

Okay, I know, you might wonder how stressful it can be but it was. If it were happy humor...Erma Bombeck, Dave Barry or Art Buchwald comedy, I would love it. It was this dark Joe Orton, Catch 22 humor. I hated it.

So I feel better and that's all there is to it.

I need to post

I have no clue as to what I should say. Really. What I feel is not public blog material.

Desperate Housewives was good tonight. I really like that show. Oh and I watched Curb Your Enthusiasm. I had gotten that show confused with the Arresting Development. I don't care much for AD. I hate the bouncy camera. Phil and I had ordered "Friday Night Lights" from Netflicks. I couldn't stand the movie because of hte bouncy camera. It's aggravating.

The Olympics have been interesting. I am waiting for the lady figure skating. I want to see Emily Hughs. Her sister was so cute. I bet she is too.

That's it. Good night.

I have 10 minutes to say...

Oh man. The pressure's on. I have 10 minutes left to my lunch. I need to say something...anything..even if it's wrong.

Okay...I'm doing alright in this life I've created in Oklahoma. Sure, I could be richer, doing something more creative for a living and be a better housekeeper. But all in all...life is good. I know what I'm doing on my job and there is a lot to be done. I love making order out of chaos and this job gives me plenty of opportunities to do so. I love my house, despite the fact I can't keep it clean. I love my husband despite the fact he can make me nuts. I love my car. I love going to school and learning. I love my dog and my friends (although I could use more.)

Yeah...life is good.

How naive am I?

I dropped the class I talked about in my last post. I am now taking "Humor and Satire" writing. It's fun but I have discovered my sense of humor is way different that my classmates. Also, I am really naive.

One girl wrote a story about Ronald McDonald. Apparently, in the story someone throws a "right hook into the old babymaker." Someone said that was a good funny line. I was lost. I had to ask...what's the babymaker? I didn't get it. You probably know....it's the genitals. That never crossed my mind. Not once.

Yesterday, one kid wrote a song....not overly flattering towards Jesus. Okay...down right mean towards Jesus. He made reference to Jesus being gay. News flash! I never ever equated Jesus w/ homosexuality. These kids know about this contraversy. Where have I been?

The kids in class write things that don't seem funny to me. Even the instructor (who is no doubt a bit older than me) understands it. I thought it was a generation thing...but I'm not so sure. Maybe he's just used to it. I can't help but think something is wrong with me. Oh well.
