So, enjoy the stupid things in life...

I was sitting on the couch the other night with Dinkus and we were just watching TV.  Somehow we started talking about things that make us laugh (besides my looks, kickball ability, choice of clothes, etc.) 

I immediately thought of a clip I once saw on America's Funniest Videos.  It may be the stupidest thing you will ever see, but for some reason I can not even describe it without starting to cry from laughing.

It is a video of some little kid (I am literally smiling while typing this) running along a basketball court.  He starts out at the bottom of the screen all happy and probably thinking of that hot dog and coke he is about to get at the snack bar (I just laughed)...oh hell with it...here it is...

 
 
Seriously...I pee a little every time I see this.  I do not really know why (actually it's because I need some help).  It brings me great joy to see this little kid get crushed by a basketball (wow...I need a lot of help).

That got me thinking of the saying "Enjoy the little things in life" and of course I had to make it my own, so "Enjoy the stupid things in life".  If we can not laugh at stupid things, and lets face it a kid getting hit in the head with a basketball is pretty stupid, we need to reexamine our priorities.

I know I am not the only one that stresses too much about life and specifically the little things that I can not change.  I need something that I can count on (seriously, I think I just a peed a little watching this video again) to take my mind off of the stresses in life.  I need a stupid constant. A constant that will make me smile, laugh or pee a little.

Now this video is my stupid thing that I enjoy.  I hope that you have something stupid that you can look at when you have a bad day that always makes you smile (and I don't want to hear my spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend always makes me smile because we all know that's crap).  If you do not have a stupid thing that makes you laugh, I encourage you to scour the Internet and find something (please don't say this blog is your stupid little thing).
