Here's to Life

For those interested, life is good…, I’m not eating different, or acting different, or thinking different… (I think the real word is “differently” but I like the sound of the non-adverb)

Sometimes you hear (and by you, I mean that I’ve heard…) that for a comic to “comede” he/she/they needs to experience, live through, and most importantly survive ANGST… Maybe that’s why I took a month off, ‘cause I had no angst!

I’m sure angstless people have something to say, but I didn’t… Or at least, I wasn’t sure HOW to say the things I might’ve thought… I still don’t know the ‘what’ (which is important) or the ‘how’ to say that which I don’t know… BUT I do know it’s the first of another month, and a month off is long enough.

I’ll give my opinion, angst isn’t the only ingredient to humor… One can find some funny in the simple, in the smooth, in the easy flowing of life. But, be sure, I do think Angst might be easier, a clearer way to see life, a crucible to melt the crazy, or a thoughtful (by that I mean funny) way to share and thus dull the pain.

Still everyone deserves that untortured perspective and I hope those creative folks I have known and I have enjoyed had some of what I’ve had in this 2011, June and July (and hopefully August…) My thought is that when angst comes back like it always does, like the winter season, the viewpoint has some aspect of balance to compare and contrast the darker, less fun thoughts. Maybe it serves to widen the field of vision to take in more of the world. Even if that thought’s wishful thinking, I’m sure glad to have had the months I’ve recently had…

From me to you, ENJOY… ‘cause for a while, I sure am…
