6 Reasons to Laugh at Your Own Jokes
Kotaku

Funny people of the world, it's time to start laughing at your own jokes.

1. You're funny--

2. --and you know it.

Laughter is the most polite way of saying that you know how funny you are.

3. Sometimes it's just impossible not to.

You know that you'll crack eventually. Just embrace it.

4. Your laughter adds to the joke.

Stefon breaking character is just as funny as Stefon in character.

5. Bloopers are hilarious because we love watching people laugh at their own jokes.

" The Office" is funny precisely because of the awkward silence instead of laugh tracks, but the bloopers are hilarious because we finally see them laugh at their own jokes.

6. Just like a laugh track on a TV show, it's a friendly reminder to those around you that you've made a joke and they should be laughing too.

Someone has to laugh at the joke even if it's just you.


So don't listen to F. Scott Fitzgerald. As Owen Wilson says in "Marley and Me," "But sometimes you gotta laugh at your own jokes 'cause it's funny."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
