I watched the 50 year anniversary of Saturday Night Live yesterday night.
Satire has this way of disassociating me from my mind and entering this realm of existence where everything is up for grabs. I love that good satire encourages me to uncontrollably laugh out loud, smile, and remember that it’s absurd to give anything in life more energy than it’s worth.
I laughed out loud most listening to Eddie Murphy impersonate Tracy Morgan impersonate Steve Harvey.
Your enjoyment may not rise to my enjoyment. You may not find yourself re-winding Eddie’s bits just to watch him plot his path to breaking his cast mates. That’s okay. That moment is my salve, not yours. And you will have your own ideas of what’s funny and what’s not.
We can all afford to spend more time enjoying things we find silly, stupid, absurd, and a total waste of time.
Memo to self: nothing is so important than finding an opportunity to laugh
