Finding my Funny

My whole life I've always been a smart ass, a person who can take damn near any situation and find something funny about it.  Most of the time I can make people around me laugh at the stupid shit I say.  I like that about me.  It makes me feel good that I can make people laugh.

But, lately I'm don't find anything funny!  This feeling disturbs me, I don't like feeling this way.  
I feel aggravated, annoyed, tired and bitchy!

Yes, I've been writing my new series about my childhood.  The stories in that series are primarily funny.  
Those stories have been written down for months now, written when I was feeling funny. 

I think I need a vitamin or something.  A shot of B12 in my ass my perk me up. 

I decided that I needed some inspiration to help me find my funny. 

I watched an hour long stand up by Daniel Tosh, the host from Tosh.O.  I love that show and he makes me laugh all the time.  I thought maybe his stand up would help.  It actually made me feel worse. Worse because I laughed the whole fucking time but then soon realized that his sense of humor is much like mine.   If you've ever watched Tosh.O you know that I can't write that shit on my blog.  Although, I would love to.  I'm pretty sure that wouldn't go off very well.  I think it would be so freaking cool to be a writer on his show.

So what am I to do?  I guess sit around and wait for my funny bone to wake the hell up.  

I wonder if it's all The Vampire Diaries I've been watching. There is nothing funny about that show, maybe it's got me in a dark place?  

Fuck if I know, I just wish I would snap out of it!

I want Bad Word Mama to be a funny blog, to make people laugh.  I don't want the Trailer Park series to be the only thing published once a week.  I want to be able to bring you other posts to make you laugh.  But, until I'm out of this funk I'm not sure what else I will be writing. 

Please stick with me until I find that vitamin I'm looking for.  

Thanks for reading,

xoxo

    That vitamin is called Vitamin C as in trust in yourself and C the story as you always have, share it in the original way you always have with words and realize that your twisted sense of humor is why all your followers LOVE and continue to come back to your blog to view your original take on life. You are still funny and I for one, and I know there are many more out there, look forward to your home-spun stories. xxx

    It sounds like you need time to recharge your batteries. I also like to write humor and this happens to me from time to time.

      Thanks Steve, I'm gonna take your advice and recharge my batteries. I know you've been writing for a long time, so it makes me feel better to know it happens to pro writers like yourself. :)

    in the words of Cher (from a movie I forget the name of) *slaps ya and says SNAP OUT OF IT.* I know the feeling. Us smart asses always find things hilarious no matter what it is.

    Is Vampire Diaries good? Been thinking about watching that or either true blood.

      Vampire Diaries is good! I also watched I think the 1st three seasons of True Blood (when I had HBO) that was AWESOME!!! I recommend both. I love vampire stories.

    You know, I think it's the time of year. We've been at this stupid year for 6 months now, it turns out it's just as crappy as the last year we went through and we get a bit bummed out. If it makes you feel any better I lost my mojo for the better part of a month and only got it back this past week, so chin up sunshine, you'll get there.

    Awww, good luck rediscovering your funny! It'll come back--I promise! In the meantime, don't feel bad about posting a from-the-heart post or even a total rant about something random that pisses you off! That's the beauty of blogging; we write as a means of closure. Hugs, Mama!

    Never fear, your funny will be back. Mine gets lost every once in a while too, but always show up again. Possibly because I use bacon and wine as a bribe :)

    I have been the same way lately I want my blog to be funny a place for people to come for a good laugh but I've been in that same funk lately with simply no funny... If you find that vitamin care to share? Also maybe you just need to step away and recharge a bit, I know that it helps me sometimes
