defense mechanisms so realistic only your psychoanalyst knows for sure

Last evening, Kev and I were having a conversation via AIM. Now, Kev was trying to have a semi-serious conversation about dating and women and all the such. And all I could keep doing was cracking jokes. He would do a real serious post about what he wants in a relationship and I would then reply, "I don't really care as long as she can cook."

I think this means one of 2 things. a. I'm at a point where I am really comfortable in my singleness and don't take these things 2 seriously, or b. I'm a lonely bitter old man who uses humor as a defense mechanism.

I've noticed I tend to do that a lot. As I visit friends live journals and blogs, I can see lots of really deep serious posts where my comment is just some type of joke.

Maybe I am a bitter old man. Who knows????

When I first started writing this blog, I had plans for really deep philosophical and theological posts every single day that was going to make this the most read blog on the internet. Then I realized that nobody can keep up that level of writing every single day. Or week.

As I look back, most of my posts have some type of humorous slant to it. I've come to the realization that I just like writing humor better. Now that I know this, I think I will "explore the studio space" with that. I think Tommy may be the only one who gets that comment.

So, if I comment on your site with a joke, just realize . . . it's because I'm a lonely bitter old man. Or comfortable with my singleness. Or just not deep. I don't really know. Maybe I should have majored in psychology instead of minoring in it. Then I might know what I'm talking about.

(see, I did it again . . .)

Also,

1. Work has gotten really hectic lately. It's really cutting in to my blogging, internet surfing, emails, and fantasy football draft.

2. I really like pounding the keyboard hard and makeing that punched key noise. One of my tasks at work is to run some claims that come on floppy disks and cd's. When I run them onto the mainframe, after I enter the command, there is a series of "press enter to continue" and yes/no prompts, that are basically the same every time, so I have developed a rythm on them. Anyway, that rythm along with the punch sound on the keyboard is really cool.

3. I had something else clever to write, but I really can't remember what it was.
