(More)About this blog: I was born and raised in Livermore with scientist parents who moonlight as musicians and a brother who is much louder and much more fun than I am. I am a published and very poorly paid author of the young-adult fantasy 'I Am Not Lost,' available on Amazon, and a worshiper of Stephen King. I am a connoisseur of human folly, a huge fan of Monty Python, and full of sarcasm. I understand that sarcasm is supposed to be the lowest form of humor - that doesn't make it any less fun. 'LOL (Lessons on Laughter)' is full of the things I come across on the internet that tickle my funny bone and elicit my trademark cackle. My only goal is to brighten someone's day with the absurd, the ludicrous, the facetious, the nonsensical and the satiric. Warning: bad puns ahead.

I am not a morning person. I don't spring out of bed with bright eyes or bushy tail, ready for the day with a spring in my step and a song in my heart. No, I remove myself from bed in a process similar to scraping gum off asphalt.
Prior to my morning coffee, I am a creature of terrifying visage and unspeakable cruelty. Those who would wish me 'good morning' receive a cranky snipe or a groan that would make horror-movie mummies tremble in their wraps.
And then there is coffee. This wonderful elixir ushers me into the day, transforming me from monster to human in a magical wave that is uncomfortably reminiscent of the Beast's transformation in "Beauty and the Beast." I am reborn, able to face the day and return sincerity to my smile.
But beware -- should you catch me before the caffeine has taken effect, approach at your own risk.
