Charlie Chaplin was a wise man. He understood de importance of doing comedy and how it made an impact in people´s lives. Funny, comedy, laughter, jokes... basic needs. There is nothing in the world I would trade for a good laugh. A movie, falling on the street, sharing moments with your friends (the funny ones, obviously). I cant account for the amount of times Ive gone home with a big ache in my rib cage after a long session of giggles or as wikipedia explains it as audible contractions of the diaphragm. I was just recalling with a close friend about the time we got a laugh attack at a taco shop the day of her birthday. Nothing would make it stop. Nothing. And we couldn´t even figure out what had caused it! Needless to say what a great night it turned to be, our chuckles turned the whole place on, you see, laughter is contagious!
Luckily Im an easy target, I find humor in most things. Sometimes its a nervous reaction, true, but most times Im simply enjoying myself to the max. I believe in the power of cracking up, theres no sport, drink or stress reliever that can have the effect of this old fashioned immune system booster that not only relaxes your entire body but triggers the release of endorphins and even protects your heart. Now tell where to find an old piece of fish that can do all that! So much for Omega3 promoters!!
Go and have a laugh old chump and if your Seinfeld dvds are not cutting it and you´ve already watched all the Christopher Walken movies out there (It´s his birthday you know)...give me a shout, Im positive Ill find a topic of conversation that will give you something to smile about...
