When u watch a stupid high school movie from Hollywood u see all the teenage stereotypes: geeks, sluts, jocks, nerds and so on. Each group seems to hang with its own kind, with limited cross-group contact. Growing up, I was hard to categorize and as I grew older, I wanted something...
I wanted to be funny
I'm a serious guy most of the time but I can also seem like the kind of happy go lucky type. But most of the time I'm just serious. Sure I can be amusing at times, and when I relate true life stories, there are some people who find me downright fascinating. But I'm not particularly inventive, I don't have a talent for witty phrasing and I don't really know how to make people laugh. And it's certainly not from a lack of trying.
I'm just plain boring. I need to face it; I'm not funny. I've never been funny. I never will be funny. I'm condemned to a life of humorless analysis and observation....destined forever to sit on the sidelines and cheer on those who have the gift that I don't. A gift that is important as I realize that sometimes, having a great sense of humor does make everything much easier and people much happier. Afterall.....
1. Humorous people are likeable people
2. Girls like guys with a sense of humor
3. Having a sense of humor makes u more fun & exciting to hang out with
There are other reasons but right now these 3 are probably the most important ones. It's a sad day for me, to realize that the dreams of wanting to be funny will never come true. I can try to change it, I can try to be funny but I will probably end up making a complete fool or wierdo out of myself. Sometimes in life, there are situations and things which u know that no matter how hard u try u won't succeed. Yet many times I remember this statement vividly....
You won't get everything u want, but u won't get anything if u don't try.
So sometimes, knowing that a try isn't going to make a difference or succeed, should I still go ahead and try?
