I’m told it’s not polite to laugh at your own jokes, which I don’t get at all, so it’s good that I have a dry sense of humor and my jokes are seldom intended to invoke laughter. Seriously, if it’s funny you’re supposed to laugh, right? You don’t laugh if it’s not funny. So by this logic, if you’re not supposed to laugh at your own jokes, then any jokes you tell should be devoid of humor. But I am sorry, I have such a twisted, sarcastic, bitter, dry, cynical (and sometimes mean) view of the world that few people actually amuse me. I’m just lucky I happen to be one of them.

The above probably makes me sound like an asshole, but since my humor is most often directed at myself, I’m not trying to stand on any high ground. I don’t look down on the things I make fun of. In fact, to truly reveal something for what it is, you have to know it throughly, some part of you has to love what you mock (which is why my humor is self deprecating). If I’ve lost you, that’s OK. I don’t know what the hell I am saying either.

Just watch out for my upcoming one man show, “I am Christopher!” Ha! Not even I could be that far over the top (unlike some people). And you for sure won’t see nude photos of any of my private bits on these here interwebs (unlike some people). But I do know the longer I go on with this site the more of a parody it will become.

christopher.jorgensen.name is musings on things that amuse me, but the more I put out there, the crazier I think I will come off. Who has a site dedicated to them done by themselves? Oh, there are fansites aplenty, but as far as I know this is the only one about me. And I run it. I am my own biggest fan! The is an experiment in meta-journaling. It’s a joke no one’s going to get. Yes, it’s like the thousands of other sites out there documenting lives and thoughts, but unlike them, I know this is a really insipid idea. Point me to a journal or blog (if you must use that word) of any substance. Just one. Sure there are people recording valiant fights with disease. There are experts in various industries writing insightful sites and helpful articles. There are even a few journalists with journals that just entertain. But the personal sites, the ones about the person writing them, find me one of those that isn’t it’s own joke, a self-parody. You might be able to, but I doubt it. Another challenge is find me one that knows it is parody. I just may be a beautiful and unique snowflake.

Lost you again? Sorry, Fightclub reference. I can’t talk about it.
