8th Entry
So I decided to clean up some of the crap on this blog.
My humor and musings have changed greatly since I last saw this thing, and now I'm going to try to put it to good use.
The new purpose of this blog will be to discuss and talk at length about the wonder of metahumor.
Over the course of x amount of weeks, I will try to define and refine this concept to the best of my ability.
I am quite unsatisfied with how wikipedia's definition of metahumor is handled, seeing as how it simply redirects to the definition of a metajoke, and not only that, but it limits the use of the prefix meta to the definition of "self-referential." Metahumor is a much broader subject, with many aspects of it yet to be explored.
Not all humor is in joke form, so why would metahumor be?
