Post? How about pout? Or poot?
You know how sometimes you try to use sarcasm to be funny and it comes out all wrong?
I do that a lot, and it especially doesn’t translate well on the web. I feel my last post had a little too much sarcasm in there and it muddied up the parts where I was trying to be sincere.
I really did have a great vacation. I really do, believe it or not, love going to the mountains when it rains. It wouldn’t be the mountains otherwise. And losing my keys wasn’t that bad.
I wouldn’t normally post a follow-up like this but sometimes my sarcastic nature gets on even my own nerves. Anybody else ever get on their own nerves?!? Is it hard to get off? What happens if you get all twisted up and stuck?
These are the things you can ponder on your cell phone when you don’t have to worry about how many minutes you’re using.

~~Glad to see you back in the blogging saddle!~~
I got the sarcasm and loved it! I’m a big fan of sarcasm. Sarcasm isn’t necessarily insincere if it’s clear that you’re being satirical or witty.
And there’s nothing like laughing to make the sour go down easier…
As for getting on my own nerves… I do it all the time. Like when I’m up in front of people that expect me to say something and I just ramble aimlessly because I have nothing to say. This voice in my head is saying to me, “Just stop talking and sit down. STOP TALKING!!!”
And I can’t. Oh well. I yam what I yam!

Haha, too bad there isn’t a <witty> </witty> in HTML code
And, I totally feel you with the rambling thing. Sometimes I feel like a really bad stand-up comic.
