hmmm...sarcasm...

My word friend, The Free Online Dictionary, defines sarcasm as first, "A cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound." That seems rather harsh to me. I've always thought of sarcasm as a lighthearted attempt to tell the truth. Some people absolutely love sarcasm, while others truly have resentment towards it.

Whatever your views may be, I don't intend (nor tend) to be sarcastic all the time, just when the opportunity arises. George Bush, along with other stupid and/or rich people, usually spark my sarcasm fuse. People who tend to not do as they say, but expect other's to do as they say will be subject to my sarcasm.

Perhaps I'm just a really bitter person inside and use this as my excuse to vent. But maybe I'm a really good person with a sense of humor that sees sarcasm as not only a humorous outlet, but lets me speak my mind without standing on a pedestal for too awfully long. We shall see, eh?

My Chatgames friends who read this who know me will be aghast that I did not call the Hasbro Scrabble Player's Dictionary as my word friend. Wake up. I need real words for real occasions. Hasbro is for playing games - which is what we do at Chatgames - we play games, and I'll get more into that in a blog devoted entirely to Chatgames in the very near future.
