Let’s face it…life is hard. Some days are great, some are just OK and some days are just plain awful. For whatever reason, there are days during our lives that are harder, more stressful, unbearably sad or completely maddening. But don’t despair, dear readers, for there is hope. We have within our grasp a powerful tool that, in the right hands, can obliterate even the most terrible mood. That tool … is the internet.
Forged in the fires of D.A.R.P.A., the internet is a mysterious land, teeming with the forces of good and evil. I have always believed in the mood-transforming powers of the internet, but cyberspace is vast and filled with countless villains who seem bent on making your bad mood even worse. I have always tried to fight these villains and harness the powers of internet for the forces of good.
In honor of that lofty goal, I’ve taken it upon myself to create one blog post to change those “meh” moments into “yay” moments. One blog post to turn to when the Facebook NewsFeed is bringing you down. One blog post that can shine a light when it seems all other lights have gone out.
Memes can take many forms, but I find that video tends to be the most powerful. So here are just a few funny or inspiring memes and videos culled from many corners of cyberspace collected into one post.
One post…to rule them all.
Humans Are Pretty Great, After All!
It can be easy to get down on your fellow humans, especially if you spend time with them, but this video will definitely remind you that people can be pretty awesome too!
Epic Fails
I have most definitely tripped and fallen in front of large groups of people while checking out my reflection while passing a window. In the spirit of commiseration, here is a collection of totally epic fails that remind us that we are, in fact, all human.
Cute Puppies
I don’t think cute puppies need much explaining, but in case you need a little bit of inspiration, there is something incredibly rejuvenating about watching little fuzzy balls of cuteness try to figure out a door.
Funny Cat Videos (of course)
I’m pretty sure the internet was invented to facilitate the sharing of cat videos…
eCards
I need to see a funny eCard on a daily – sometimes hourly – basis. Here are a few of my favorites.
Spread the Love
I hope this post gave you some respite from any doldrums you may have been experiencing in your life. Feel free to share this link with anyone, and on any social media platform, you think it may do some good!
