Humor saturation level.

Another thing I have noticed as I have been reviewing my old entries would be the general lack of humorous elements all throughout... this is a sad feature of my former self that I would like to remedy.  I realize the value of good ol' fashioned honest writing but it can certainly be very dry without a little comedic spice sprinkled throughout.  So this might be a bit of a rough start(especially since I don't really know how to write humorously on purpose very well.)

Does this mean the things that I will write from now on will be funny?  Nope.  Does it mean that I will try to make everything I write from now on funny?  Nope.  Does it mean that I really understand what makes people laugh?  Sometimes.  So, I guess this means I will definitely fall flat a lot of the time... and I'm fine with that.  Every deck of cards only has a couple jokers.  I write every day so the odds of me having a better ratio than that are not all that great.

Any way about it I will say that this is a bit of a new commitment for me.  Witty, insightful, and fluid writing is my goal.  If I can present my thoughts according to this relatively high personal standard I will feel like I have become a success... at least for that particular entry.

I guess I really need to pay attention to the more humorous bits of each day if ever I am to succeed in this endeavor!  I almost feel like I need to write a joke down right now.  Too bad timing has never been one of my strong suits!
