Last week was just part one of two in this “LOLZ I’m an airhead” series. I could really make this go on and on forever, but we’re just going to leave it at two. I’ve got to convince my family that I am at least vaguely aware of what being a real person looks like. Maybe.

It just so happens that talking about and embracing all the ridiculous is a significant part of how I understand this whole being a “real person” works. The first go round was easy. I have actual footage of the time I broke my arm. At 24. At a skateless skate park for children. It was a no-brainer. It’s hard to top a slapstick moment like that.

But sometimes the airheaded moments are just life moments. They’re the blunders that we make that have the potential to be epic and major — or at least to feel that way. As with everything in life, the real trick is in how you handle it.

Find out more about the #AirheadsNeeded campaign and watch other brave souls embrace their airhead moments on the official Airheads Tumblr.

Confession: I’ve told this story before, but it was almost four years ago (!!) and approximately eight people read the blog back then, so I’m just doubling down on this admission of my struggles.
