A bizarre encounter

Yo, G Reader,

I will be leaving the Netherlands soon. I wrote a whole big post explaining exactly why I'm leaving, yet now I believe, I don't need to explain anything:

The Netherlands makes me unhappy. I find myself increasingly depressed and angry. If that is not a good basis to change your position in life, then I don't know what is.

Basically, I realize that "... in the event of a loss of cabin pressure, an individual oxygen mask will drop down in front of you. Remember to secure your own mask before helping others around you."

Take care of yourself today, so that in your abundance, you may help others around you. You're no good to anyone rotting from the inside, or dead on the outside.


And the questions for today are:

• When does a "positive attitude" or "optimistic outlook/approach" mask realistic problems or a logical decision making ability?

• Are comedians simply people who are so dissolusioned with the world, that in their frustration, get fed up and throw the world back in our faces in exaggerated, odd, or mirroring ways? If so, are they funny because the way humans are is funny and easy to laugh at?


Best,
-e


PS For a truly bizarre viewing experience, please take the time to bewilder yourself by viewing this charming, Japanese produced, "Learn English" video. I'm sure you will find it... HIGHLY informative.
