I had the painful realization this morning in the shower that my blog is not very funny. Looking back through my posts, I see that several are sort of funny, but there's not much (if any) fall-off-your-seat funny. There seem to be more (failed) attempts at deep thought-provoking philosophizing than truly funny posts.
This realization would not bother me so much if I were not a funny person. But, dammit, I'm funny. If you were talking to me in person right now you'd be laughing. (I say that as if anyone besides my wife, my brother, and my two friends read this blog.)
And then, as I'm writing this, I wonder if I'm fooling myself. Maybe I'm not funny.
...
And there goes my identity.
[I am aware, by the way, that trying to be funny while bemoaning one's unfunniness is not funny. Sigh.]

Yeah, I realized that my blog isn't very funny either. I started it wanting to be funny, but that hasn't happened yet. I know you are funny, and you know that I am funny, so I guess that's all that really matters, right? :)

I gave up on blogly philosophy a while ago and have been much happier ever since.
Ah. But the fact that everyone is laughing behind your back about your unfunniness...that, that is funny.
