How do you deal?

I don't know about you, but lately I feel like everything is just going wrong. The economy sucks, gas is expensive, we're in the middle of a war. It's just one bad thing after another. How do you not let all these things get to you? How do you deal with what's going on without wanting to jump out the window? My theory is humor. I think that if you can find something funny in a situation it makes that situation a little less daunting. A great example of using humor to cope, is comedian Christopher Titus. Christopher Titus has had a rough life, his mother was insane, his father was an alcholic, he was in all kinds of abusive relationships, but instead of freaking out and being depressed about his life he turned his story into a hilarious comedy routine. He even talks about how humor is like his therapy. below is a clip of one of his shows, Norman Rockwell is Bleeding.
