Welcome to Absurd Geometry

This blog, Absurd Geometry, is dedicated first to God. I believe that the talents we’re given are not random △ △ △ they are divine sparks, gifts of grace. When we share those talents with the world, we are honoring God Himself, because we’re returning His gift in the form of light, laughter, and creativity. Like light through a prism, what He gives us bends into colors of our own making △ △ △ angles only we can create.

It is also dedicated to my dad△ △ △ a true alchemist. He suffered as a child in ways most people can’t imagine, yet instead of letting that turn him bitter or angry, he transformed it. Where others might use suffering as an excuse to stay stuck or resentful, my dad turned his pain into jokes, into warmth, into laughter he could share with the world. That is alchemy: turning suffering into gold, into humor, into love.

And in my own way, I try to carry that same legacy. I take my stress, my challenges, my absurd little moments of life, and I turn them into stories and jokes. This blog is my version of that alchemy△ △ △ finding the geometry in the chaos, reshaping it into laughter.

Why “Absurd Geometry”?

My humor has always been a little absurd, a little deadpan. A few years ago, I started writing my jokes down △ △ △ turning stress into humor, into little stories. Some of the names have been altered, but they’ll probably rhyme with yours.

This blog is my collection of those absurd angles and crooked lines of life △ △ △ where everyday frustrations, weird encounters, and awkward memories get reshaped into geometry that somehow makes sense when you laugh at it.

Sometimes you’ll find anecdotes. Sometimes you’ll find short stories. Sometimes it’ll be commentary on the “news” (or the kind of news that doesn’t always make the news). But it will always be me, finding the geometry in the absurd.

So welcome. Take a seat, take a chailpill, and get ready for angles that don’t add up △ △ △ but somehow still add laughter.

My dad, the original alchemist of laughter, crouched with the elephant in the room △ △ △ but in puppet form. Last year, at a children’s museum, my dad climbed into a little puppet booth, grabbed a couple of puppets, and started doing a show. He used this ridiculous voice, shaking the puppets with all the drama and passion of a Broadway star. My dad gave that performance like the room was full, like he had an audience of thousands. But he only needed one person to see it. And that was enough.

That moment is the seed of Absurd Geometry. This blog is my puppet show. Sometimes it’ll be silly, sometimes heartfelt, sometimes both. But if even one person laughs, one person “gets it,” then it’s worth everything.
