My thoughts on humor

I've become aware of something recently. Some people don't have a sense of humor. Everything is logic and numbers to them.

So It's like, I'm a person who's always been trying to not be a "clown" as some douche bag asshole once labeled me so astutely, but to lean more towards looking on the bright side, and finding the good in life.

From the start, I've been trying to seek out those aspects of life that are fun and a good way of escaping realtiy. Movies, cartoons, comics, videogames, books, and so on.

And now it's being made out to be a bad thing to have a sense of humor and to feel happy and enjoy things without tearing them down into a billion pieces.

That's the thing about life now vs as a kid. I used to watch any movie I wanted, no problem. Just enjoyed the craftmenship of the film. Now I watch a movie and I think in my head, "oh is there ways they could have improved this movie, are there better movies, what is this movie saying politically."

Like star wars. Its clear as crystal what George Lucas' opinion is of black people when you look at the Gungans and Jar jar.  I don't know how deeply Lucas feeling are, I don't know if he had a bad experience with blacks his whole life and decided to piss on them later as a billionare, I don't know... it's above my head and I can't say I care that much. Because maybe in a way his abandoning his original vision for star wars in exchange for his racist views, has lead to star wars' downfalll as a series.

Whatever, not my problem. But yeah, I'm not a clown. I kinda took offense to that because I've always intended to become a scientist or a pilot. You can't take on that stuff if you're a clown and indeed I've always been very serious and intellectual my whole life. So to suddenly have all that boiled down to the simplistic denomination: clown, is just ridiculous after all I've done my whole life, studying, reading, working hard.

Are you a clown because you can actually find things funny? No. You're a regular person.

I can't believe the lack of common sense people have out in the world, but you darn tootin, someone will pull out a calculator and try to figure out the complex physics of a door swinging open before they open the fucking door.
