Top 10 Reasons to Read Comedy With Carrie

Welcome to my inaugural blog post. Which naturally I’ve written in the most sacred form of blog post there is, the listicle.

I’ve decided to kick things off with a listicle because I’m trying to win you over. This post is the beginning of my courtship of you, dear reader. This post is the beginning of what I hope is a long and mutually fulfilling relationship of likes, comments, questions and shares.

I know before you commit to me and enter into a steady blogger-reader relationship that you’re going to need reasons to stay. There are so many other memes you could be laughing at, videos you could be watching, and lists you could be reading.

But you have found yourself here, and I’m going to give you a list of 10 reasons you should religiously read Comedy with Carrie for the rest of your life.

1. You’re a Humanitarian

Reading my blog can be classified as a humanitarian effort.

How you ask? Well a humanitarian is someone who is “seeking to promote human welfare.” I am a human, and having a loyal band of readers is good for my welfare, therefore you reading this blog regularly is a humanitarian act.

When you actively choose to support small, local comedy blogs instead of monolith mega websites you can save our economy and this world at large.

You can’t argue with logic.

2.YOU Love PICTURES OF DOGS

Everyday the internet is becoming closer and closer to being exclusively pictures and videos of dogs.

One of the reasons I created this blog is to support that goal. I will be starting a regular “Dogs of Temple Terrace” column where I feature my neighborhood’s dogs and tell you their stories. I will also regularly update you on what my own corgi is thinking. Hint: It’s not always just “baconnnnn”.

3. YOU’RE LOOKING FOR ADVICE

I know sometimes talking to friends and family about your life problems can be daunting.

So why not talk to a strange internet blogger like me instead? I am going to feature an advice column on Comedy with Carrie where you can submit your life woes and I will respond to them anonymously. Take it from a blogger, spewing your life problems out into the internet is very cathartic. Even more so when you have a willing audience who’s guaranteed to respond. That’s me, I’m your audience.

4. YOU’RE TOO TIRED TO READ “REAL” NEWS

The world is insane right now. Your life is probably insane right now. It’s very possible that you don’t have the time, energy, or willpower to update yourself on the news everyday.

Thanks to this blog you won’t have to. Every Friday I will be giving you a “Flashback Friday week in review” post where I catch you up on what you missed in the news during the past week. This way you can still look smart and #woke when you meet up with your friends over the weekend.

Dogs AND news???? Am I winning your over yet?

5. YOU’RE LOOKING FOR BLACKMAIL MATERIAL

Maybe you hate me. Maybe I cut in front of you in line at Publix once so you noticed the name on my credit card while I was checking out and you have now found this blog and plan to get your revenge. Well lucky you, this blog will be packed with juicy details about my life that you can use to blackmail me. Keep reading this blog if you want to get your revenge. Read it every single day. Heck, share it on Facebook if you have to.

6. YOU BELIEVE COMEDY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

I created this blog because I love comedy and I believe it holds a power that is sometimes underestimated.

There is a reason satirical news shows like John Oliver and Bill Maher can get more viewers than actual news station. That’s because they offer comedic relief to make news more digestible.

Humor is the spoon full of sugar that helps the medicine of life go down. Life is really hard for most people. Days aren’t easy, money is tight, and work is tough. I want this blog to be a place you can go after a terrible day to simply laugh and feel happy.

This blog will also be a place where I talk about comedians who have made a difference in my life, as well offer suggestions for funny books and movies.

7. You Enjoy a Good Pun

Are you constantly making the eyes of all your Instagram followers roll back in  your head by using puns in your captions? If so, you’ve come to the right blog.

Over half my t shirts have puns on them. I’ll be showcasing these t-shirts on a weekly basis for “Punday Sunday.” Feast your eyes and gain new inspiration for the ‘gram.

8. YOU’RE A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER WHO WANTS TO BE IN MY WILL

This one’s pretty straight forward.

If you’re a friend or family member who is close enough to wrangle their way into my will and testament, you have to read this blog. No one will be in my will unless they’ve read this blog in it’s entirety. Tests on the content of this blog will be given before my death, be prepared.

Granted, I’m a writer by trade so the most valuable thing in my will is probably my pun t-shirt collection. Still you have been warned.

9. YOU THINK THAT LIFE IS A LITTLE RIDICULOUS

Let’s face it, life is a little ridiculous. People are ridiculous, interactions are ridiculous, politics are ridiculous.

If you want to have fun reading about the ridiculousness found in every day life, than Comedy with Carrie is for you.

10. YOU WERE BORN ON A DAY THAT ENDS IN “Y”

If you were born on a day of the week that ends in “Y” than you should be reading Comedy with Carrie. If you’re unsure whether or not you were born on a day that ends in “Y”, check your birth certificate and report back to me.

There You Have it, Dear Reader

So there you have your nice, pretty listicle about why you should be reading my blog.

I hope I have courted you well. The bottom line is if you like dogs, puns, satire news, and laughing at life’s woes, you’re in the right place.
