Ramble On

So its been 2 weeks since my last post. To say that nothing eventful has happened would be as far from the truth as a trip to the center of the earth. I did see that movie, journey to the center of the earth, and I'd love to take that trip right now. Unfortunately though, the greater part of this period has been spent trying to figure out a ton of issues... with very little success might i add.
I'm obviously not penning down any sensible thoughts worth reading so I'll focus on the stuff I can actually write about. Ah, I already know what my next post should be. I believe I should mention that I have not been entirely miserable like the title suggests. A mouse caught on a mousetrap, now that's miserable. Me, I'm just wishing I could take back a lot of things that've happened lately, and I've just had the last two weeks to really take ponder deeply about my decisions in life and the consequences.

My wishlist is slowly looking like a grocery list. I've always known that I'm a material person, but my holiday wishlist is filling up fast with very expensive gadgets. Not sure I need to explain why I want each one of these but feel free to tell me how useless these wants are and how much I'm wasting the little money I don't have anyway.

How do we determine true joy and laughter? Hanging out with my little cousin, I was surrounded by the endless care-free laughter of an extremely hyper-active toddler. On numerous occasions, i found myself asking what was making him laugh so much. All he did in reply was giggle. Then I started thinking about how how much fun i'd had as a kid without responsibilities and worries. I enjoyed playing in the dirt after school even when I knew my mother would scold me for getting my uniform filthy. I miss those days, when everyday seemed to have laughter associated with it. Whether it was learning something new in school or running around in the school yard during recess, i found a way to be the clown of my own circus. Maybe having him over was a sign. I went and saw Frank Caliendo later that night. He's simply hilarious. I tried recording a clip from the show, but the light conditions and the incessant crowd laughter didn't allow for a worthwhile youtube upload.

Now i'm thinking about how much more I need to laugh in my life. Laughter is said to increase longevity, so here's to more laughter... true laughter that leads to longer life and more time spent with the ones we love.
