When you are blogging everyday, life can get a little serious, so sometimes it's a good idea to check out the humourous side of blogging (or bloggers with a sense of humor, if you are American). So I have done a quick search of humour blogs to see what I can find.
The first humor blog I found was by Akbar. It's called Humor And Jokes and, as well as posting some very humorous stories (check out the latest post on Spiritual Sitings on a Garage Wall for a post full of irony), Akbar is also interested in the importance of humor in our lives and The Key To Fnding Hilarity In A Boring World spells this out . I like Akbar's humor blog. It brightened up my day.
Another great humor blog is the Office Humor Blog, described as "Office pranks, jokes, news, videos, and other work distractions". The writer, Jeremy, posts from "random things around the internet such as fun downloads, links, and news that are found on other sites". He finds some great sources of humor and embelleshes them with his own personal and often ironic comments.
I particularly like the recent entry Firearms Instructor Quits After Shooting Himself During Class and Jeremy's comments on the entry Job Hotline Wrongly Advertising Sex Line Number Instead. If you love humor with a personal touch, you will soon become a fan of the Office Humor Blog
And if you are looking for something completely different, why not check out the Mental Health Humor blog? It contains "Mental Health Humor Mental Ilness Humor and Cartoons by Chato B. Stewart". As the author says:
Are you feeling down? Do you need a Laugh? Mental Health Is Serious, and Humor can help.
The aim of the author of Mental Health Humor is to add cartoons on many different subjects of Mental Health to this blog, and he is doing a great job. Check out the post Ask Dr. Bob, Bob - How do I leave my house? for the great cartoons on Agoraphobia. And before you say "this is stigmatizing people with mental health problems", take note that the author himself suffers from the illnesses he describes and this is his way of dealing with them.
If you are easily offended, then the Mental Health Humor blog may not be for you, but if you want something a little ironic to cheer you up when you are feeling low, then I highly recommend it.
I'll finish with a few words from Akbar:
Let's face it. We all love the Internet and its wealth of quick knowledge and information but it has also caused us all our fair share of misery ... So in order to not let the world of fast information get you down, it is important to stay in touch with your sense of humor, especially when you are stuck behind a computer all day.
Makes good sense to me :)
