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."
