Chasing Wattpad

"Has lol" (will share)

Some time back I received a message in my email notification from a Wattpadder that simply read "Has lol".  It was one of those messages to followers that one of the people I follow sent out to everyone on their list. I have no idea what they meant when they sent it, but I thought it was the cutest thing. Of course, me being me, I made fun of it in my ongoing "messages from Psycho" series. Sorry, couldn't help it, it's what I do.

I no longer have it saved and I don't remember who sent it. I wish I had because I have since then been curious as to why they "had lol" that day. I want to know. What were they thinking of when they posted that to everyone? Did they hear a joke? Did they just wake up happy that morning? Did they read some of my stuff? It's possible. I am told I can be pretty funny sometimes. 

Or maybe they it was just "one of those days" for them. Maybe you have had them and maybe not. You wake up feeling good for no reason at all. Maybe you slept good for once in a long time. Not tossing and turning or waking a million times for no reason at all. Maybe they had a great cup of coffee that morning. Maybe they had amazing sex the night before (equivalent to a great cup of coffee at my age, lol). Who knows? It's a mystery. I will probably never know. Whatever it is it was probably not nearly as exciting as my imagination will always make it out to be. 

I have no earthly idea where the hell I was going with this. 

(A cup of coffee later. Oh yeah.)

Okay, I remember now. You people need to relax and have some fun. Seriously, there is not enough lol here on Wattpad. Some of you take this Wattpad thing a bit too seriously. Most of you run around like chickens with your heads cut off (I've seen it, not pretty) trying to finish the next update. Trying to figure out what the hell to write when you've got nothing going on in your head. It makes you panicky. It makes you moody. It turns you into zombies. And not the slow, easy to outrun zombies of The Walking Dead, no, it's those crazy psycho zombies of World War Z that can run the 100 yard dash in 4.2 seconds. Even the fat zombies run fast. These are the ones that dive off of a building without even putting their hands in front of them. I don't care how dead you are, you need to put up your hands in front of your face when you jump off a building. Everybody knows that. 

Anyway, as I was saying before the zombie rant, -you guys need to have more fun.  You have to. Don't let Wattpad stress you out. Step back. Go somewhere and lol your little hearts out. They say laughter is the best medicine and that it actually extends your life. Well maybe not mine. My days are numbered. I'm as likely to die laughing as I would die doing anything else. But not you guys. You guys are young. You need to laugh while it is still possible to do without having a stroke or a heart attack. 

I know what I'm saying. I have seen so much in my life that had no lol in it whatsoever. I picked such a fucked up job. One not at all conducive to lol.  Just the opposite,  actually. Full of hate and violence. It never bothered me while I did it though. But it had to be that way.  There is no lols allowed at crime scenes. 

Life is too short not to have lol. Have Lol everyday dammit! Lol morning, noon, and night if you have to.  Find something funny about something everyday while you still can. Before life gets a hold of you and knocks you on your ass. It happens. Life is not funny sometimes. It is "nasty, brutish, and short". I think I remember that quote from a high school class about life according to some very pessimistic philosopher. I don't remember who it was. Whoever it was don't be that guy. Don't be that guy who always finds something wrong with everything and ignores the good stuff. There is lot of good stuff after all:

1. You're still alive. Maybe not a good thing for others, but good for you. 

2. I have not kicked your ass. It's always a possibility. Enjoy life before I get around to you.

3. You are reading something. That's always good.

4. Coffee. Duh.

5. Chocolate. Duh.

6. Sex. Duh. Duh. Duh.

7. You are a writer. (that's like sex, coffee, and chocolate together) 

8. You are not just a writer, you're god-damn poet. You sexy beast you!

9. I have not kicked your ass yet. You're probably safe by now.

10. We found each other. No backs. 

So go get some lol. Lot's and lots of lol. Or, if you prefer, you can get some LOL. Which as anyone knows, is like lol, but more. Or, as the song above says, go get some love. That will do in place of lol in a pinch. 

And if the lol thing does not work out go check these guys out. They have lol too. They just don't want share like me. But I love them anyway.
