Goofiness is a true art form

Goofiness is a true art form.

Either you are goofy or your not...no in between when it comes to true goofiness. True goofiness will make people stop and giggle; think the goofy person is really kinda stupid; and give them something to talk about later. Goofiness is a gift to others because people really love to laugh. A true goof will say the goofiest and stupidest things, without trying to make you laugh. Therefore, your laughter is not forced, it is natural and that even makes you laugh harder. It is a freedom of laughter, a belly laugh, a guffaw that keeps on giving. Every office needs a goof: First of all, goofs make everyone else look good. Goofs say politically incorrect things, that everyone else is probably thinking, but would never dare say. For the sheer fact of their goofiness, goofs can say things that others would tuck tail and run if they were the ones to say it. Goofs aren't usually criticized for the things they say and do because, well, its funny when it comes out of a goofs mouth. It's not bad, or offensive, or taboo....its just plain goofy. Why aren't more people goofs? Well, its something passed down by genes, its inherited. Its not your environment, its the gene pool doing its thing. You either got it or you don't, but if you don't got it you can still enjoy it! Live vicariously through the goof...you may laugh at what comes out of their mouth, but you know deep down you wish you had the nerve to say it too.

Moodiness can be bliss

Today I realized that I have been in a mood all week. Not a bad mood, per se, but a mood that borderlines mild irritability. The type of mood that for the most part goes unnoticed in the hustle and bustle of everyday life and actually went unnoticed by me until this afternoon. I got out of my chair, pushed it a little too hard against the desk..and whammo..it dawned on me that I was not a happy camper all week. My first thought after my discovery was how it took me so long to discover it. The second thought was why I was in a mood to begin with. It was funny because my brain could not wrap itself around one single bad day, bad event, bad anything, but trying to come up with a reason 'why' made me even more irritable. I can only surmise that we all have periods of time that we feel "not ourselves". In fact the term "not myself" fit what I was feeling to a tee. Once discovered and self analyzed I relished the mood the rest of the day and will probably continue tomorrow too. Why not? Someone asks "What's wrong??" and you reply "Well, I am not feeling myself". Follow it with a shrug of the shoulders, cast your eyes to to the ground and frown. All of sudden the person you unleashed your irritability on feels, well, sorry for you. They let it go and you can continue to the next person and all the while your mood is expressing itself and taking a life of its own. So, this week my mood is in charge and for that I am truly "not myself".
