One Big Fat Joke

Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.

    --Oscar Wilde

I swear, no matter who we are, or where we're from, there always seems to be some dire emergency threatening us somehow or another. Whether its not enough money, someone being threatening or disagreeable, or some maligning entity or person eagerly waiting to rain on our parade, there just always seems to be an excuse to be anxious or distraught these days. 

Now I'm not saying I'm the best at doing this or anything, but if there's one thing I know in life it is that God has a sense of humor and that life really is just one big fat joke. It may sound simple, but things generally do work out if we pray, try our best and do what's right. So yeah, I'm calling this blog Laughing All The Way To The Bank because laughing it off is mostly what I've been trying to do these last couple of years. 

So what does Laughing All The Way To The Bank mean anyways? Well, google says it is a figure of speech that means someone is making a lot of money easily and quickly, often by doing something others would consider unwise or foolish. Yeah, that's pretty much me to a T now. I'm buying when everyone else is selling. I'm the early bird that got the worm. I think the world is mad so I walk to the cadence of my own drum and don't care what pessimists say. I'll admit, I may be a bit of an anomaly but I don't believe I'm a statistic-- what I really am these days is quite a lot of a cosmonaut. (ha, ha, ha) Listen to Cracker- Low song to know what I mean.

Some of you may be saying this guy is going to get robbed someday laughing his way to the bank (ha, ha, ha). Well, they can try to rob me but they aren't going to get very much from my meager state welfare check (ha, ha, ha). Utah also can't sic the mental health system on me either--they've already tried that, it didn't work and I own those people now (ha, ha, ha). They can sic the law on me but I'm an attorney and know how to get away with murder (ha, ha, ha). They can sic the Mormon church on me but I'll go to mass or join the agnostics instead.  

Yeah, it does sometimes feel like I'm laughing myself all the way to the grave though here in Utah. But look for yourself, we've been defying the odds here for a long time now. Apparently there are still a lot of good people left here in this state. I'm certain it is not "WHERE" you live but instead, "HOW" you live that protects you nowdays. Check out this quote by President Russell M. Nelson, "The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives."

So anyways, I just have to stay positive and keep believing in that and all those intangible but real concepts in life such as humanity, love, karma, order, justice, and the rule of law. I have to believe I'm not some expendable chess piece to be pitted against society and burned up by the flames. Yeah, I have to believe I can stay above all the technological devices and harassments and live free and clear of it in this world. A little voice tells me it is all possible and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, a happy ending and a paradise for those who fight. But I guess we will see if I'm a useless dreamer and delusional schizophrenic or not, now won't we.
