Comedy And My Views.

What is Comedy?
The art of laughter?
The skill to make others laugh at yourself through words or actions?
Maybe, maybe not

Currently i am watching Lee Evans, the legend of comedy in my eyes, thats when i sat and thought, what is comedy?
Thats how i got the idea of this post, so enjoy.

Comedy can be misconstrued as a simple joke to make other people laugh, but it is not as simple as that, not in my eyes.
Jokes are funny yes, and are meant as, well, a joke, but it all depends on the subject of the joke.
Take Lee Evans for an example.
His jokes and acts are all about real life, not really offensive to people is it?
Then take "regular" people, who tell jokes to amuse there friends and family, but, most of the time these jokes (in my eyes) are pathetic.
Why use racism in jokes?
Why makes jokes about the dead who cannot defend themselves?
Why use disability, colour, origin and many more pathetic subjects to amuse other people and degrade others?
But i am not the maker of comedy, so i go back to my question, what is comedy?
Who knows?

My vies on comedy is to make a person or people laugh and smile while keeping it above the belt, i mean do not get me wrong, subjects such as sex and the like are acceptable to me, every one does it or has done it so its a subject we may all relate to, but accessing the world of racism and other subjects in order to degrade said people in order to make some one laugh, to me, is just disgusting, that is not comedy, that is sick.

But once again people may argue "if it makes them laugh then it is comedy right?"

Well yes, that is comedy, but this post is called "comedy and MY views" so do not start picking faults yes.

I will not lie, I myself have laughed at disgusting jokes, we all have, do not lie, but when you sit and think about it, most of said jokes are stereotypical and as such, false.

For example,
making a joke about (on the top of my head) Jews being greedy.
That is basically giving the Jewish Religion a bad name and so, the race (if you call it race?) itself.
(I'd like to stress i hate religion and the views it forces upon people)

Keeping this post short, comedy is being exploited and abused for a talentless branch of the talent tree, any one can make up or steal some jokes, add a stupid act and implement there own voices and call it a comedy act.

But once again, i do not know what comedy truly is, this is just one of those "I'm thinking and should blog this" type moments.

Thank you for reading.

A Few Rants

I thought the first appropriate and "official" post would be me ranting on a few subjects.

First of all i'd like to point out these are my personal opinions and i do not wish to debate on my views, if i offend you then i am sorry but it is nothing personal to any one what so ever.

Religion


I hear about this on a daily basis, and to me it's laughable, and i shall explain why now.

Why do so many people believe in this stuff?
I understand the theory behind "every one needs something to believe in" trust me, i do feel that way myself, but to blindly believe in a book that was written by people and have no facts to back up there ramblings and there "insane" theories is just plain wrong to me, ill explain what i mean now.

For example:

Noah's Ark, a boat capable of housing two of every animal for so many days
Does any one except myself see how crazy this is?
A boat that size would need to be bigger than Russia itself considering there are over 5 million species of animal (not even mentioning insect) which we would surmise as holding over 10 million animals on one boat.
Long story short, this is utterly and completely impossible.

That is just one of the many examples, to me, people who trust and live for a religion that they know nothing about and blindly support are idiots and do not deserve the essentials of life in which science has provided for us, rant number one over.

"Friends"


So over the past few months my so called "friends" have shown there true colours, i will not name names in which to shame those people, that is not fair considering none of them will even read this and cannot defend themselves, basically ill give the run down of what they did and are doing.

I will not go into massive detail in these stories as they are personal, so bare with me

For the purpose of this rant i will rename the people accordingly

"Friend" number one: Alicia

Alicia was my best friend, she was always there and we had such a laugh, but one day something happened and she basically cut ties with me there and then, little did i know to foreign persuasion.

"Friend" number two: Alexandria

Alexandria was also my best friend, we had allot in common and also had such a laugh, but on this occasion, my other "friend" (next story) started calling her names behind her back to myself and not very nice names, in the end basically he said he never wanted to so much as see her again, me being me i found this to be extremely disrespectful and rude, so i told Alexandria what my "friend" had said, she basically said she was furious and never wanted to see him again, i continued to support her and to my knowledge, make her happy, until one day she lied to me in order to avoid seeing me under the lie of "my mother needs me" only for me to find out two days after she had gone to a place i loved, thats not the worst part, the worst part is that it was with my "friend". Your now asking why did she do that, basically my "friend" denied everything he said about her and blamed it on myself, confusing Alexandria and basically making her turn her back on me.

"Friend" number three: Michael

Michael is an interesting story, so lets begin shall we.
Michael was my closest and best friend i had for 6 nearly 7 years, i should explain before i continue, before i met him i had no friends, so i was used to a lonely life, when i met him things changed, lets continue.
6 or so years later i started to notice something strange, Michael wasn't who i thought he was, he was controlling me and i never knew it, of course it started to annoy me, but i did not want to risk losing him, so i went to another friend for advice, long story short he found out what i thought of him and he did not like it, not one bit, so slowly he started spreading the lies about me (see the other two stories) turning Alicia and Alexandria against me without them even noticing it, this made me furious, one closest and best friends turning against me against there own free will, for a month or so i was back to my lonely life style, but this time i had the power to change it.

What i did:

Naturally i went into depression, wondering and over thinking, maybe i did this to myself, maybe they truly hated me now, or maybe there was some one who disliked me at the moment.
A month or so later i thought to myself, i will not let this happen, but me being me i had no clue where to start, so i went to the only people i had left, my parents, for advice, but my Mother being my Mother got on the phone to each of the people to ask what was going on, the other side of the story if you will, in the end i became even more furious and snatched the phone from my Mother's grasp for each of the conversations, lets just say the things i said to them were colourful and i will not repeat it here.
After about 30-45 minutes of shouting and explaining myself to each of them they started to doubt me more, until i brought in the evidence, what evidence is that you may ask, well, Michael did the work himself, he threw himself into a gun shop and shot himself, he spoke about them both without knowing they could hear him, needless to say they both believe me now and do not want anything to do with him.
Now for Michael
I'll cut this down, i basically said if i hear him speak lies about me again and try to ruin my life and rip my friends from me, then he better have a good hiding place.

Those are basically the two rants, everything else is not worth my time
Thanks you for reading this long post

This part is not worth reading unless it is Bethan

Bethan, i love you, now read the blog woman D<

Getting Back Into Blogging...

So its been quite a while since i last blogged it seems, so i feel like i should do it more often, daily maybe? or will weekly be more realistic, i do not know

this blogging scene for me is just random stuff, things i like, points to be made, my personal life, depends

basically i stopped blogging because no one seemed to be interested, no one cares about my blog and i doubt any one has even read a single post, what i will do is, post this on facebook and if some one responds to the link saying something along the lines of "i read it" then i shall continue, starting with a new post after this

thanks.
