Okay, I just thought I'd take this time to clarify my last entry. Go ahead, go read it if you haven't yet (or even if you have; you can never have too much otacon120); I'll be here when you get back, I promise.
Now, having read that, take a listen to my words here.
IT WAS A JOKE. IT WAS NOT SERIOUS.
I'd say that a good 90% of the comments I got to that entry thought that I was being completely serious, and completely missed the humor behind it.
Before you think I'm getting all fussy and uppity about this, please be informed that I am NOT angry, but rather disappointed in myself. More on that later.
Allow me to explain the joke to be found within the entry:
With myself being one of the people who complains about Christmas decorations being up before our Thanksgiving, I decided to spoof myself and everyone else who does that by doing the same thing, but doing it a week before Christmas; you see, I'm complaining about Christmas Decorations, and then I act like some one says something, then end it with "OH GOD BRB" to show that I've just realized that Christmas is a week away and I have a helluva lot of shopping to do.
It was a joke. It's not serious.
Now. Go back, and read it again. Go ahead, I'll still be here, just like last time.
Do you get it now?
It was a joke. It's not serious.
Back? Okay, then let's continue.
As I stated above, I'm not angry at you, my readers. Not at all. Rather, I'm disappointed in myself.
"But, why, otacon? Why are you disappointed in yourself because we obliviously missed a joke in your entry?", you may not be asking. Well, I'll tell you anyways.
I'm disappointed because this shows that my humor (or lack thereof?) is starting to go downhill a bit. I made an entry that was entirely a joke, yet everyone thought that I was being completely serious, even cynical. The humor of mine that I slid into the entry was completely overlooked, and instead was mistaken as ignorance. That shows me that I'm not quite the humorist I used to be, and that I'm starting to lose my touch. It shows me that, very soon, I may be losing part of what keeps this blog interesting, and that feels... kind of like a bad rash that is not only on the inside of my nose, but also in my ears, in my groin-area, and I guess in my eye sockets, as well. Oh, and the rash is spewing puss. And sweat. And orange juice (Sorry, I was thirsty; not to mention, orange juice in the eyes = Orgasmic pleasure, if by pleasure you mean excruciatingly blistering pain).
All that said, am I really losing my touch? Am I really losing my ability to sneak a joke in somewhere without people being able to catch it easily? Or am I just losing my comedic touch? Or am I just being a paranoid little wanker who just needs to mind the gap of humor?
I just hope that, for your sake, I can start regaining the momentum I used to have. :)
disappointed
