Why So Serious?

Lydia pointed out that, often, people don't take me serious. What? Seriously?

Okay. Yes, I admit it. I don't come across very serious when in conversations. I'm light-hearted, and can make a joke about almost everything (or I try). My comments tend to be on the positive side, and I do laugh at the irony of situations. I guess if you recorded my life, it could very well be a great comic strip or sitcom. I'm not kidding. Reading "Baby Blues" would give everyone a great insight on our family!

Am I a clown? Perhaps. I've been told I'd make a great stand-up comedian, and could hold a crowds' attention. Unfortunately, that crowd would either be young kids or elderly folks in a nursing home! However, to be honest, I'd be up for the challenge...

I do tackle serious topics, but it is in a way that's different than what others do. I have a odd way at making people think, it just won't strike them until later. My humor in conversation can be sarcastic at times. And people don't always catch it until later. Which is my strategy. I like people to think things through instead of making rash decisions on opinions, or being caught up in the moment with how they feel on maters. I am being serious, but in a different way. For example, there are often meanings behind my posts on Facebook and twitter... you just have to catch them!

There are times people don't know how to understand my way of conversation. Stepping back, I guess I can understand. I'm a bit unique. Hopefully, I'm not a walking contradiction. I want to come across as truthful. If there is a question about my stance on something, feel free to approach me and ask. If there is a disagreement, I will not attack you. My goal is to listen, but also give my opinion. Who knows, I may agree!

By the way, if you haven't noticed, I'll tackle some interesting topics here on my blog. I'm not here to spread hate or anything. Just trying to get people to think... and express my opinion too!
