It might take a little coffee or
probably a few rounds of beer or any other booze you could get your hands on
when it comes to relaxing after a hard day's work. Well, yeah I'm guilty about
that one as well, unless I'm caught dead wearing a lampshade over my head after
a few rounds of vodka… half-naked! Okay, bad example and I apologize to
everyone reading this after getting nightmares about me in that state of
drunken stupor.
Just don't ask how it happened,
please.
But what's really interesting is
that how do people go through the usual part of life when faced with
vein-popping stress? I mean, the new age thing like Zen or yoga is one of the
good things and it actually works. Is there room for the intellectual side of
people who can actually smell the roses-in-a-can while on the move? It kind of
had me thinking that there really must be something in this 'mind-over-matter'
thing.
Humor is indeed the best medicine
there is whenever you are. I mean anyone can pay good money to listen to a
comedian just to make you wet your pants after laughing so hard. Despite of
what's been happening, and to those who has gone though the ordeal, it's better
to just laugh while facing the troubles with a clear mind than anger with a
clouded vision. One of my favorite celebrities of all time may have to be Woody
Allen. Now this is one guy who gives you the in-your-face bluntness that he
pulls out with gusto, even without even trying. You can talk just about
anything with a man, and he's bound to mock the subject and you'll end up
laughing rather than being upset about it.
Woody Allen has this to say:
1. "Money is better than
poverty, if only for financial reasons." It sounds good to me, I mean the
practicality of all things does involve money but it doesn't have to take an
arm and a leg to get it.
2. "I believe there is
something out there watching us. Unfortunately, it's the government."
'Nuff said.
3. "There are worse things
in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance
salesman?" This happens to be one of the classic ones. I mean the issue
about life's little problems isn't all that bad, until 'he' shows up.
Sure, relationships can get
complicated, or does have its complications that probably any author about
relationships is bound to discover it soon. We follow what our heart desires,
unless you're talking about the heart as in the heart that pump blood
throughout your body.
4. "Love is the answer, but
while you're waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty interesting
questions." And if you want more, just keep on asking!
5. "A fast word about oral
contraception. I asked a girl to go to bed with me, she said 'no'." It
sounds, 'practical', I think.
And when it comes to everyday
life, he really knows how to make the best out of every possible scenario, and
it doesn't involve a lawsuit if he strikes a nerve.
6. "Basically my wife was
immature. I'd be at home in the bath and she'd come in and sink my boats."
I never had a boat in my bathtub before. Just staring at it while soaking in
hot water makes me seasick already.
7. "I am not afraid of
death, I just don't want to be there when it happens." If it rains, it
pours.
8. "I am thankful for
laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose." It could get worse when
you're guzzling on beer… or mouthwash, and it happened to me once!
9. "If you want to make God
laugh, tell him about your plans." At least he doesn't smite us with
lightning, and I'm thankful for that.
And despite of what may happen to
all of us in the next ten, twenty, or even thirty years, I guess we all have to
see things in a different kind of light and not just perspective. I can't seem
to imagine life without any piece of wisdom that could guide us. Whether we're
religious or not, it takes more courage to accept your fears and learn how to
deal with them is all that matters when it comes to even just getting along.
And to sum things up, here is the
last nugget of wisdom to go by… however, whenever, and wherever we may be.
10. "The talent for being
happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don't
have."
Ciao!
