Hilarity.

"A day without laughter is like a day without sunshine."

I thought this quote was interesting; it's pretty much the story of my life. Ask anyone, I laugh at everything. (The longest time I've lasted in a straight-face contest was 9 seconds.) Despite having a tougher time standing up to others, this is a pretty strong point in my personality, I would think. Laughing rids me of any frustrating problems and makes me real happy. The only thing better than that is making others laugh or smile. It shows genuine joy, and pretty much anybody can [should] laugh: one from a whole different country, one much older or younger than you, it doesn't matter, we can all laugh.

A friend joked once, saying that I was laugh too much, and that my "laugh-o-meter" was running out. Apparently, we have this "laugh-o-meter" thing that indicates the amount of laughter we have in our lives, and I'm "using it up too soon" and I will be "a boring, monotonous person" when I grow old. For me, I think everybody's "laugh-o-meter" is the same: It's infinite.

In fact, I have a "the funniest thing happened today!" every. single. day.

Joy and Thunder

There is one emotion, in my opinion that can draw people together more than any other. It’s not sadness, revenge, bitterness, jealousy, it’s happiness and laughter. Would you rather see someone with a big smile on their face, or someone who looks like they’re about to break down? Not that there’s anything wrong with breaking down, but happiness and laughter can go ten times farther. Do you ever look back in your life and say, “remember that time we just pummeled, that day sucked”, no, you look back at the happy times, the times that made you laugh. You don’t want to remember the bad things, you want to remember the things that filled you with joy, and it can bond people, maybe very different people, but people nonetheless.

A T.V. show that can successfully incorporate humor just got twenty times better. Even a serious drama that has times a witty light-heartedness can make you laugh and cry. All of my favorite shows do and a few of my favorite movies too. My favorite show of all time, Stargate-SG1 made a living out of witty puns and clever jokes. At the same time, in single one episode, it had more drama and emotion than a whole season of one of those crappy dramas.

Laughing is associated with good times, fair enough, and not being bummed out. Sure you can’t laugh all the time, but when you do, you’ll remember it more.

Is there anything for you that makes you smile almost every single time? Something that makes you think, gosh, why do people need alcohol, drugs, and crap to help? Well, maybe it’s not as strong or something, but it sure works for me.

Anyway, isn't laughing good for you too?

Airbag

Ahh.....Monday Monday Monday
That dreaded day, it just never stops coming now does it?

Every week, we see it coming. Every week, we just wish it never came. Sadly, every time, there's never much we can do. The day you know you have to go back to that place, whether it be work, school, or anything else. That stifling place, the one that suffocates your very brains. Whatever that place is, it tires you to just be there. You'd rather sit at home and honestly do absolutely nothing, just plain relax, and finally listen to OK Computer in its entirety. The very environment at the place is poison. It's not exactly the people(ok, maybe sometimes), or even the work(probably not true). It's a place you wish you weren't at. You feel bogged down, drowsy, and sick of the feeling you get when you're there. The malaise you experience there can't be eased once you get home. It carries over to the very place of sanctuary in your life.

That's how society is these days. Adults stuck in dead-end jobs, with little to no excitement in their lives. Whining kids are stuck in school, no wonder they're a bother. School's such a despondent place to be at. It's almost like prison come to think about. You can't get out until allowed, you have to what you're told, hopes are stomped on, and reality is shoved up your ***.
Not that I'm saying school's bad, or the people, staff, or students are either. Education's important, the once again, its the environment. You don't even really want to be yourself. Sure, it can be safe, full of learning (supposedly), but that doesn't actually bring kids peace of mind(except knowing you, hopefully, won't get shot there or something). Few things today are truly full of contentment. Perhaps the joy of a young child, and some others I can no longer bring into memory.

The only way you can escape any of that is if you're famous or something. Then again, with the bonds of responsibility in a conventional manner broken, a new set are bound upon you. You have to be a good role model, continue your success, or you'll lose it all. That's serious pressure right there. Just look at how many celebrities crack and break these days. Can't tell which is better, probably neither. The questions is, is there anything better than all that?

Sometimes you just need an airbag to fall right into. A giant pillow to jump off a cliff into, just to release yourself from the chains of everything else. You can't do this all the time, though. If you let yourself go too much, you'll end up doing stupid stuff. You start talking too much, you say the wrong thing. Maybe you end up saying nothing at all when you should have. You let down others and yourself all the time. Yet, you just can't bring yourself to say sorry. No, you're not a jerk or anything(maybe), but you can't bring yourself to say something.

The only thing you can end up doing, is something I would know nothing of. Everyone has their own ideals, dreams, leisures. The best you can do is try and follow them, while being realistic and reasonable. You still have to let go every now and then, though. Sounds impossible doesn't it? Well, it's not, and if it is, who cares. Just be gregarious(depends on yourself) and joyful.

What are you willing to do (for a Klondike Bar) to stop Mondays?

bass(better than Only in Dreams?), the tremolo arm (sustainer?), utter genius, and some weird noises the

on the subject of(absolute, mind blowing, magic) tremolo arms

your laugh of the day !!!!
maybe another ???

Relief Next to Me

It's me again, sorry your disappointed.

I'm just going to let out of few of the things on my mind and be out of your way (that is if anyone reads this).

There seems to be a lot of things around that are just messed up. Money, relationships, government, the economy, and the list goes on and on (that's are what I hear at least). The very purpose of certain things are just being cast aside like that old iPod cable you lost. I mean, you can't even go to the public school of your choice these days. The very point of the government funding education is to provide a learning outlet for students. If kids were allowed to go to the school of their choice, they'd probably pick a good school. Don't you think that would be great? Still, it is true staff members, teachers, etc. might lose jobs, but could that motivate some people, even students, to try harder? Of course, some students just won't.

On that matter, children grow up on the belief money, which supposedly comes from a good education, brings happiness. Don't get me wrong, education is of the utmost importance. Still, the belief is that money brings happiness. Well, it sure wouldn't hurt to have a lot of it. Seems like a lot of things are cons these days. Another way to get money, be famous. Who doesn't want to be a rock star or something? Yet, you have to wonder, why do they always do drugs and stuff when they have such great lives?

I think it'd be pretty cool to have a family. Some people just aren't that way though (Thrash Unreal, "some people just aren't the type for marriage and family"). How cool would it be to have a great wife, an awesome daughter named Sara, and great son named (haven't finished thinking on this one...), and etc., etc. Still, is that a sham too? People split, kids can become estranged, and a bunch of countless things. I think, if you give into to all of it, it'll happen (Are You Ten Years Ago, "you collapse"). You just have to hope for the best, and strive to make it happen.

Sad when you just freeze for words, this is utterly true of me... (Relief Next to Me, "in the dark (in the dark), I'm just no good at giving relief)

Wow, gee, that's a lot of negative stuff. Let's have some laughter, since that's the best dose of anything you can ever have. It's a shame i suck at giving it. Just watch this, always makes me laugh. Anybody know that Star Trek sign?....split your four fingers apart, two on each side with the thumb sorta on the inside? Then you say peace and prosperity, and in response same hand sign but health and long life or something? No?.....me neither. I'm a gater(not sure what we call ourselves) not a trekkie. Seen every darn episode, all 114(I think?) of 'em.

1. This is long.
2. Too long.
3. You probably shouldn't listen to biased jerks like me.
4. Don't think this is really serious and meaningful.
   
5. Why are dinosaurs extinct?. Cuz they stink!
6. *drools* Hamer Archtops
7. Just had Subway at 11:00 P.M.
8. Be oh so very happy! It spreads like a damn virus(hopefully)
9. Another attempt at brightening your day ...
10. See number 3.
