SECOND WIND

I have had a couple of weeks feeling down in the dumps.  I am never good in handling "losses."  I can say honestly I am working on that ability.  Now, I'd like to draw from what has commonly been referred to by athletes as their "second wind."


No, I am not really referring to that burst of adrenalin after 16 rounds of tequila shots (albeit I use this all the time when having fun-times in a Club), nor am I referring to your breathing straightening out in a marathon, just when you thought you are about to collapse. Mainly, it is rediscovering a new energy and enthusiasm to overcome my "blues."
Humour always saves me.  That endearing and inexplicable cognitive behaviour of man to laugh at his own misery and mishaps or even others.  Or just about anything that crosses over from hilarious to completely ridiculous and foolish.  My Dad always used to say, laughter is the best form of medicine.  
So let's look at these recent STATISTICAL SURVEY RESULTS a great buddy of mine sent to me. I call him "Yoda Master" as he loves to say, "Do or Do Not, There is no try." I smiled when I read it and to all those who need a smile, try this on for size.


TASTE LIKE CHICKEN SURVEY

COMPUTER TROUBLE SHOOTING SURVEY

USEFULNESS OF YOUR FINGERS DURING TRAFFIC SURVEY

 BEATLES SONG LYRICS SURVEY

WHAT I LEARNED IN CSI SURVEY

PEOPLE WHO FIND YOU ON FACEBOOK SURVEY

EASIEST TO SLEEP SURVEY

WHAT YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU HEAR A CAR ALARM SURVEY

YMCA SONG LYRICS SURVEY

THE CORRELATION BETWEEN YOUR PRESTIGE AND TIME

    Petite, I share Jamie's sentiments - I know that you will get better, because you really have no choice in the matter - you have made that abundantly clear.
    As to your cartoons/graphs, your one on computers is altogether sooo true.
    And thank you for this post - it was, as always, refreshing.

    Sorry to hear about your loss (I was a bit worried to be true - you never stay silent so long) as you know you will come to term with this because it is the only way to move on.
    In the meantime I agree with your dad and these are just hilarious - love them all! Take care.

    Hi Stephanie, thank you for stopping by.

    Tim, yes I believe the only way is to turn around and move up. I really appreciate your email and manuscripts. You are absolutely an awesome friend and writer!

    Alex, I'm fine. I'll be better. No worries sweetcheeks. Yeah, rats taste more like chicken than KFC. lol!

    Hello Kim, it's silly funny isn't it? yeah yeah yeah!

    Thank you Marie. You have always been an inspiration to me.

    Hi Staff, glad to give you the chuckles.

    Dear Krouth, we all have a second wind. I know of some people on their "fourth" wind and still at it!

    Dear Marie, aww...thanks for the love and concern.

    Dear A, really? Such tenacity, them Russians. Trying is not even in their vocabulary!

    Hi River, yes, feeling a lot better now. Moving towards 100% soon, as I have decided I will.

    Hello Ash, save on my friend. It's nice to collect funny stuff to look back into on days you need to smile.
