Sometimes I’m not as funnny as I think I am.

Sunday, April 30th, 2006

While discussing the next scheduled Nuclear, Biological and Chemical training event (known as the gas chamber), the following exchange took place:

Co-worker #1: The last gas chamber was pretty good. They got everyone in and out of there in like three hours.

Co-worker #2 (sarcastically): Yeah, it was so good, I’m thinking of bringing my family to the next one.

Me: You know, I’d bring my family to the next one, but they have this wierd thing about gas chambers.

Sudden Horrified Silence: . . .

Well I thought it was funny.

Worries.

Things I should not be worrying about, but am:

1. I’m not blogging enough.

2. Although I maintain some of the trappings of urban hipster* culture (iPod, off-beat t-shirts, blog, etc), it would probably be a depressing and alienating experience to attempt to fit in with said culture for any length of time. Given this likelihood, am I merely desperately attempting to define myself as different from those around me any way I can?

3. The difficulty and time-consumingness of converting DVD’s over to mp4’s for use on my new playstation portable.

4. Dying alone.

5. Realizing the full potential of the various video game consoles I possess.

6. Hair Loss.

Things I am not worried about but should be:

1. My taxes.

2. My career.

3. learning how many kilometers are in 3000 miles so I can find out how long overdue my car is for an oil change.

4. Iran.

*I am using hipster here to mean people who live in New York, are in their twenties, and share a similar socioeconomic background to my own, especially those who pride themselves on not being hipsters.

Man, that was a pretty weak-sauce entry after such a long hiatus. I should be ashamed of myself.

I found this on the internet. It made me laugh:

Funny thing.
