Having your stand-ups sitting down
Assalamualaikum,
Spent a good part of last night chatting with Sidqi (and with elia and Ocen on MSN) and watching different stand-ups on Comedy Central. Sid found a rare treat: a video of Russell Peters in UK!!! .. Not the comedy central one, but a totally different video. I've been looking for it on the Net for months. Turns out I found several parts of the same video on Putfile. Maybe I should keep an eye on Putfile. Russell Peters is up on my list of the funniest people in the entertainment business. Most of his jokes are about Race. But he does it, in my opinion, in such an open and matter of fact manner. His jokes are not making fun of races. He's making fun of racism.
Yup, broadband Internet has really pampered me. Thats what i do when I'm bored, browse for stand-ups and funny vidoes on the Net. All that just to be entertained. to laugh. but being entertained and even laughing ain't the same as being happy. sure thing, laughter is the best medicine, but any medicine can be abused. Heck, if i kept laughing constantly, non-stop, for no reason, I will probably need real medicine. Laughter should be taken in moderation and should be kept natural, i.e don't rely too much on entertainment if you are looking for a genuine laugh. The best laughs i ever had is when I'm with friends. Probably because the best laugh is a laughter shared. and THAT is my medicine.
Imagine if you have to look hard (over the internet or video stores for example) just for a reason to laugh, or smile. Maybe something is really wrong in the way you live such that its too devoid of laughter and smiles. I like people with a good sense of humour. People who laugh easily, and spread the laughing germs to those around him/her. (Like Mario, Sidqi and Ocen :) ).
A good sense of humour is a sign of strength and patience. In times of difficulty, i would like to be near to those kinda guys. The kind of people who sees hope in tough situations. This reminds me of Akira Kurosawa's mastepiece. The "Seven Samurai" there was a character named Gorobei. Each of the seven samurai are distinct in character, just like the way not one individual in the world is the same. But they can work together as a team. Gorobei is not the smartest, the most skillful of them, but he was the one who makes the others smile and therefore bond the whole group together. Hmm, a kick-ass movie that one.
Well, have a good laugh today, .. thx Russell
