Blog #3 Time When I Was Confused

It was in third grade when I became at one time my most confused. It was recess time and the weather outside was rainy. We were able to outside after lunch and play on the playground. So as we're going outside me and a couple of kids decided start a game of tag. As the game progressed we had created rules on the go, such us the inability to touch the ground. However it was a fairly large playground, full of many slides, monkey bars, and especially a wobbly bridge. This "wobbly bridge" is what will cause my confusion. The way this happens is that as we were being chased by the tagger, crossing the wobbly bridge, and a combination of rain making the floor wet causes me to slip and fall hitting my head on end of the bridge directly on the metal floor.

At the moment I felt no pain at all and just had a bit of a headache. So I decided to call quits and just walk around the playground trying to regain my train of thought and control. However when walking around I began to notice many of the kids look at me with a shocked look on their faces. I was still baffled and painless of what had just happened until another kid told me I was bleeding. Last thing I remember is me crying to a teacher and ending up in the nurses office getting stitches as my mother comes in. The only good thing that came out of this experience is getting out of school early and getting a lollipop.

#2 What's Funny to Me

Something that I find funny is watching a movie like Jackass or America's Funniest Videos. I love watching these because they are just so funny and they always have something were I can just laugh and laugh. For example Jackass is funny for so many reasons. The cast members of the movie do so many funny and stupid stuff that I just have to laugh my butt off. Like I always remember a few episodes of were they dress up and look like an old man and cause mischief throughout the city and in public. I'm especially excited for the new upcoming Jackass 3D. I've been watching a few trailer and small premiers for the movie that's going to be in theaters really soon and I've been laughing at every one of them.

Now I like America's Funniest Videos for basically the same reason I like Jackass and that is people getting hurt and something funny happening. The only difference is the that in America's Funniest Videos, it's ordinary people usually doing something stupid that just happens to be funny. Like for example one clip was of a family taking a photo while on a dock and as the picture is about to be taken the dock falls down and everybody gets drenched with water from the lake, and now that was one funny clip.

Now when I think about it, it seems that human have enjoyment when other humans are in pain. It seems kind of weird that we(humans) like to laugh when other people are in pain. However there is a certain amount of pain were people find it funny or just scary and gross. Like for example people who watch the movie Saw don't just go watch to laugh, but rather go to watch it and "try" get scared. So next time when I watch a funny video I'll try to figure out why I enjoy to laugh when people are in pain and were the limit is between funny pain and just uncomfortable pain, and maybe you should try to do the same.
