people underestimate the power of silliness. i don't know if its all the comedy i have been watching or babysitting for extended periods of time, i am finding that i am naturally a goofball. i mean i have actually laughed so much that i was sore for two days [a russell brand marathon of my own creation on youtube was to blame].
what i notice about the people i admire and find truly hilarious is that they are uninhibitedly silly. still youthful and innocent, wide-eyed, knowingly crude or lewd but without fear, charismatic, and use language for sheer comedic purpose. call it random, i call it hilarious.
the improvisation of it all is what i love, because it takes a lot to string together thoughts that quickly into something witty and coherent, well for the most part anyway. its like being on the inside of a joke watching someone's brain move that quickly. you can see it in their eyes and the sort of giddy yet orgasmic release of receiving the laugh. i understand the freedom a comedian must feel on stage and seek it but without all the bright lights.
it takes bravery to laugh and joke when everyone else scowls. we need our clowns, and even more than that we have to respect them. not everyone can do what they do and if you don't like it, lighten up or look away.
tap into your so-called childish instinct of silly. you'll be laughing so hard you won't even notice you've let go.
