The Laughing Wolf

The Sound Effects Of Our Lives

The last few weeks have been busy and very serious, both here and in real life. If you want an excellent serious food for thought post today, then go read this post. As for me, today is a day to laugh as it is the best medicine, and tastes a lot better than flue cure, apple cider vinegar, vitamins, and other remedies.

When I moved up to the new lair, I caught myself doing something I had been taught was not proper. I was making sounds. No, no, not those sounds, though they are a natural part of life. No, this was something far worse according to the polite codes by which I was raised.

These were grunts, groans, and other such noises as I did things. Like bending over. When it came to lifting and such, well, it got even better. The one I was doing most often was like that gruaon (a combination of grunt and groan) that Arnold makes when he is acting like he is lifting something heavy. You know, that noise he makes that sounds like he has been constipated for a month and is really straining hard because he thinks he might, just might, feel some movement.

How embarrassing. Proper gentlemen, especially proper young gentlemen, don't do that. Apparently I am in neither category anymore, because I do seem to be doing it. And other odd and interesting noises as well.

It is something that I am attempting to curb, as after 40 the body makes enough new and entertaining noises without adding to them.

So, what sound effects are you adding to those nature already provides your life? Are they truly the sound effects we want for our lives? You tell me.
