Reality Continues To Ruin My Life

Ever sit and think to yourself "reality continues to ruin my life"? Whoa!! Cheer up there champ, I am sure things aren't that bad. Hey you could be this guy. I know embarrassing right? Look life can be tough, but buck up kid things could be worse. Every day there are hilarious things that happen to other people and most importantly, they don't happen to you! I have devoted my time to scouring the internet and other popular sources of entertainment and find those hidden comedy treasures that will brighten your day. One of my favorite doctors shared this quote and I think it sums up how I feel about when worries and problems enter my life.
 
“I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!” –Dr. Seuss
 
Yes when troubles come my way I knock em’ out of the park like Babe Ruth! So remember when you feel like life is pummeling you with shot after shot, stand tall, point to the bleachers, and knock that sucker with all you got. Remember that it takes (a number not agreed upon my scientists and doctors) muscles to frown and only (a slightly less but still not agreed upon number) of muscles to smile.
 
Now, let’s get to the good stuff shall we? I am going to be honest with you; if you don’t find this absolutely hilarious then you really don’t belong here. David Hasselhoff is singing and if that isn’t enough for you, this may be the worst music video of all time. Let’s be honest, when he was done shooting and watched the video before it debuted at what point did he say to himself, “yeah I want to be remembered for this.” That is not a legacy I would want to be remembered for.

Speaking of legacies I have another weird instance for you to ponder. Check out this passionate gamer. Probably seen by many as a super nerd this guy was not deterred and continued to play his beloved World of Warcraft until he found a major flaw, which he took straight to the game developers. It seems his devotion has paid off seeing as he will be forever enshrined as his own character in the “hallowed” halls of the clan Wildhammer. Maximus Decimus Meridius, the tenacious Roman general played by Russell Crowe in the movie Gladiator, I think said it best when he spoke to his troops saying “what we do in this life echoes in eternity.” The fact checking super fan seemed to understand this well, at least in the sense that nerds for generations will be envious of his new found fame. Stand tall and beware of carpal tunnel ye King of the Keyboard, and know that baring global computer meltdowns or an early apocalypse you have made a legacy that will outlast yourself.
