Once upon a time...

There was once a girl who was not nearly busy enough at work, so she thought and she thought and she came up with a fabulous plan. Start a blog. Now, she technically already had a blog, but that went by the wayside long ago. After serving its purpose of informing her family and friends at home of her well-being while she was off on grand adventures, it no longer seemed all that intriguing.

This girl has a philosophy of life and wishes to share it with all. This philosophy is not too philosophical, because philosophy is hardly her cup of tea, but it is very important. So important, in fact, that it is capable of changing one's life. However, one must be warned that some will fight this philosophy. This, it is believed, is mainly due to fear. Fear of the unconventional, fear of making a fool of oneself, fear of thinking differently. Fear of the very thing the philosophy rests on.

The ridiculous.

You've read correctly. Embracing the ridiculous, this is the philosophy. Simple. Fun. Feared.

This requires something that much of society has repressed for ages and scorned in individuals. It requires creativity, ingenuity, being the first to laugh at ourselves, and a complete lack of fear of those who try to fit everyone into a box.

So I give you this - Embracing the Ridiculous.
