Got a call from a friend after my last post, taking me to task as she often does, but also like Lodo, finding the post hilarious. I won't do it justice but my friend explained even though it was clear I was not having a good day, a sense of humor was still evident. She told me what she specifically found funny and I've re-read the post a couple of times since then-it's honestly a stretch for me to see what could make someone actually laugh. And Lodo, I feel bad for my penis punching comment as you are clearly not alone in finding my inside-out missives on the sad state of my human condition amusing. Only one other time have I been so despondent and been met with laughter. I wrote a girlfriend after my ex sent me an engagement picture and she found my high drama so....I guess over the top, that it gave her deep and satisfying belly laughs. So the upside of my personal despair is the mirth it creates for those around me when I attempt to describe it.
Awesome.

I can only speak for myself, but I think what I found so funny about the post is your seeming belief that you alone feel the way you do. You're basically nailing the way 85% of America (and probably the human race) is feeling in one form or another; yet you seem to honestly believe that everyone's living it up except Ava.
And I particularly liked your ending. Well done. It was a funny post. Sincere. And shared truth is funny.
Lodo, you're such an interesting guy. I'm glad you come here and that you comment. You are right, I really do feel singular in my flavor of despair and I'm convinced many many people are making a better run at this than I am. People with more daunting obstacles (or better excuses) than me.
Thanks for sharing your take on it with me. And thanks also for the compliment. I'm glad you liked the ending.
