funny shit

It’s amazing the stuff that can make you laugh.  I have a morbid streak (something to do with my mental health, I suspect) and so I regularly look around to see how others blog about mental illness.  Some posts are eloquent in expressing the blogger’s misery and sense of futility.  Others are just fucking funny.

For example, today I came across a post which contained a poem, with the post starting off something like, ‘This is what it feels to be depressed.’  Uh, no.  If you’re depressed, you can’t string your thoughts together well enough to write anything, let alone a poem.  So that was my initial reaction to the post.  Then I noticed the title of the poem.  ‘Oasis of Death.’ 

I started giggling.  You get the idea.  Basically, the title was the high point.

Maybe I’m a picky sarcastic bitch.  (Okay.  I’m definitely a picky sarcastic bitch.)  But seriously, who airs their fifth-rate poetry in a public forum like the internet?  That said, I praise the Gods for the poem.  It’s the first thing I’ve laughed at all day, and it’s after 7pm.
