I wanna live in a comedy.
"Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderful
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love
Isn't she pretty
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
through us he's given life to one
But isn't she lovely made from love"
Stevie Wonder - Isn't She Lovely
Have you ever wonder-ed (pun intended) how it would have felt to have a song like that written about you? Its such a happy, hope filled, thankful and touching song. Shucks i want a musician for a dad too..one who can play the harmonica as kick ass as Stevie Wonder too..
AnyHOo, enough day dreamin..I've been watching watching lotsa sitcoms lately and i've come to realise that sitcoms and comedies are much more than television shows to laugh at. When you watch Friends for example, don't you sometimes wish that you could be living in that sitcom, that that was you life, where conversations were witty, people were funny and endearing, everything had a happy ending and stuff that didn't have happy endings had an important lessons to be learnt. I wish i lived in a sitcom.. i truly do. Guess that makes me an Escapist. I get attached and involved with the characters i see because they are living the life i wish i had. Yeah some people label people like me - TV addicts but i'd like to think that watching TV is more than just a mindless pasttime.. it provides me with a chance to live as someone else for 30 minutes every day..no matter how rotten my day has been, or how disapointing the situation here in our world is, for 30 minutes, i watch people do silly things, whatever their hearts tell them to do, without repercutions...they dun have to constantly live up to peoples expectations, dun have responsibilities, dun have to feel hurt or let down, dun have to hear news about hurricanes and irresponsible governments, nothing about murders or robbery or other shameless acts that humans commit..for half and hour i get to sit down and laugh away the many disappointments that life brings. Comedies and Sitcoms seldom disappoint. And that is something thats hard to find in the world we live in. That is why after that 30 minutes i develop a new sense of hope.. and that gives me strength i guess..emotional fuel to carry on..I know it sounds icredibly silly, but its just me i guess. Laughter is my medicine, and its my shield too i hide behind it all the time.. i guess cause its easier to laugh something off rather than cry about it. Now thats food for thought :)
