style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;Sarcasm is an art that is under-appreciated and misunderstood.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;People usually view sarcasm as something negative and malicious, when it is usually meant to funny and witty.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Sure there may be some truth behind the joke, but that is what makes it witty.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;I am not saying that Sarcasm can’t be hateful and hurtful, but in order for a great comedian to be successful he/she need to make the joke relate able.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Instead of being so defensive, people need to lighten up and enjoy the laugh.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It&#39;s strange that I feel lonely even though I have 7 siblings and live with my boyfriend.&amp;nbsp; I have the best boyfriend that any girl can ask for, but yet I am lonely.&amp;nbsp; I love my boyfriend and the thought of not having him around scares me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As much as he loves me, I still feel that I am alone because I have no connection with my family.&amp;nbsp; It bothers me that I have 7 siblings, but yet I feel like an orphan.&amp;nbsp; I have better connection&amp;nbsp; and more things in common with a random stranger at the supermarket than my own family member.&amp;nbsp; I have always thought that blood run very thick and there is no bond stronger than family.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

Perhaps in my case, nurture is much stronger than nature.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://uniquebutthesame.blogspot.com/feeds/2937173583625844300/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://uniquebutthesame.blogspot.com/2011/04/loneliness.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2204498966729553961/posts/default/2937173583625844300'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2204498966729553961/posts/default/2937173583625844300'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uniquebutthesame.blogspot.com/2011/04/loneliness.html' title='Loneliness'/><author><name>Slim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09912725493824056216</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOtqFgzxsmAnQKjXgvY6bF-vmRHIGlHPhuX-TG6OnCWSE4-5dl57qMmehJW6Hx_QwhvqtXlDIj8FhyWhJRDr9jUMvqjTLmoSVmNM86Rkr8h-OAJAhRNK_mwjyjcO3ZGIw/s220/annoyed.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204498966729553961.post-7061739663048417768</id><published>2011-04-07T16:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-07T16:56:52.236-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Changes"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Love"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="scared"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Unique"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="who am I"/><title type='text'>Changes</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;
