People are funny.


My dear Grandma Darlene has Alzheimer's, and there are few things after about 2007 that she remembers in great detail. Before 2007 however, it's impressive to this day the things that she does remember and with what detail. One thing I will never forget her talking about is Art Linkletter hosting a show between 1954-1960 called People Are Funny. Youtube it, the shows are quite funny. I'm not sure why I did it... I SWORE to myself that I would NEVER do it. But last week... I did it. I recently had my heart broken and quite frankly, it's still in pieces, so I'm still not sure why, perhaps I'm trying to prove that he isn't the best thing out there, or perhaps it's just a distraction of him consuming my mind. So, my confession... I joined a dating website..... Regardless of the reason for joining, what I have found in the past 4 days is truly what Art would preach daily on his show... People really are funny! Perhaps unintentionally, but I've found myself laughing hyterically every afternoon at people's posts, pictures, headlines, and descriptions and I end my day with a smile.... After all, it is said that 'laughter is the best medicine.' I have no intention of meeting a companion online, I find the idea very un-romantic. I'm a communications major and think that meeting online makes no sense. But I also don't want to knock something until I try it, so I posted a few pics, paid the dues for a 3-month trial, but nothing could prepare me for what I've found in the past 4 days since joining. It has been both enlightening and hysterical and just too good not to share. I decided to post a "Daily Top 3"... as you'll see, these may not be the Brad Pitt's of the site, but they make me smile... Just a disclaimer... if you or someone you know appears on my blog, please note, I'm not really trying to laugh at you... I'm thanking you.. for being the comical medicine my soul and broken heart requires for survival these days. So THANK YOU, just for being you... now, lets get started: TODAY'S TOP 3: (in no particular order) #1 - I think your tractor's sexy... God Bless America
#2 - his detail about himself starts, "I am a large north american mammal. I put the n in nerd otherwise it would just be erd and I don't know what a erd is..."
#3 - Oh how I love first impressions... This gentleman's email to me was short and sweet.... "I dig your profile! I think we should chat! Why? Cause you're gorgeous. That's all." Rock on. I love that you had a tie made with your portrait on it.
