Here for Laughs (HFL): The Unfiltered Introduction

Welcome to Here for Laughs (HFL)

Life is messy, unpredictable, and, let’s be honest, often downright ridiculous. Between juggling responsibilities, chasing dreams, and dealing with the daily absurdities of existence, sometimes all you can do is laugh. That’s why Here for Laughs (HFL) exists—to bring humor, honesty, and a dose of reality to a world that often takes itself way too seriously.

If you’re tired of the perfectly curated, motivational fluff that makes it seem like success is just a vision board and green smoothie away, you’re in the right place. I’m here to share the real, raw, and sometimes ridiculous journey of balancing business, family, and personal growth—without pretending I have it all figured out.

Who Am I?

I’m Tommy—entrepreneur, creative thinker, ADHD-fueled idea machine, and someone who has failed enough times to appreciate the humor in it.

If you know me from IMUPRU, you already get the vibe. If not, let me introduce myself:

• I run a family-owned Etsy shop, where I laser-cut positive, motivational, and darkly humorous creations.
• I dive into Amazon affiliate marketing because, honestly, working a 9-to-5 forever sounds like my personal nightmare.
• I spend an embarrassing amount of time experimenting with new ideas, building things, and trying to keep my brain from chasing every random thought that pops up.

A Personal Story (AKA: How This Blog Came to Be)

Not long ago, I found myself stuck in an endless loop—wake up, grind, crash, repeat. Every day felt like a battle between being productive and just existing. My social media feed was full of “hustle culture” posts telling me that if I wasn’t waking up at 5 AM to run 10 miles while manifesting success, I was doing life wrong.

Then, one day, in the middle of yet another Redbull-fueled existential crisis, I realized something: people need more honesty and humor in their lives. No more fake success stories or “just work harder” speeches—just real talk with a side of sarcasm.

Thus, Here for Laughs was born.

What is HFL?

HFL is an unapologetic space for:

✔ Sarcastic life lessons – Because some things are too ridiculous to take seriously.
✔ Business & side hustle tips – From someone who’s actually doing it, not just talking about it.
✔ DIY disasters & successes – Because I love making things (even when they fall apart).
✔ ADHD tangents – Because my brain refuses to stick to one topic for long.
✔ Laughs, relatability, and the occasional reality check.

If you’ve ever thought, “What the hell am I even doing?”, welcome. You’re not alone.

What’s Coming Next?

I’ll be dropping weekly posts on topics that matter (and some that are just fun to talk about), including:

✔ Creative DIY & Crafting Ideas

From sublimation printing to laser engraving, I’ll walk you through my favorite projects and tools—the wins and the hilarious failures alike.

✔ Small Business & Side Hustle Insights

Lessons learned from running my businesses, plus realistic strategies for making money without losing your mind.

✔ Product & Tool Recommendations

I test a lot of stuff. I’ll share my go-to Amazon finds, business tools, and resources that actually make life easier.

✔ Family & Lifestyle Stories

A peek into our family adventures, favorite activities, and everyday moments—the chaos, the joy, and everything in between.

Why Stick Around?

If you want real talk, humor, and a break from the “grind harder” nonsense, this blog is for you.

✔ You’ll laugh.
✔ You’ll learn something (probably).
✔ You’ll feel a little less alone in the chaos of life.
