Gowns of Greece- folded flaps of history

Post picture

Look at this image... Its a tree and it seems to be dancing. I chose this picture because I think it has a lot in common with the post. Look at it this way, in this case, this is the tree of life. The tree of all of us, together. It is dancing, and seems so peaceful and balanced. The happiness and balance spreads everywhere and the tree looks powerful.

(: Where the HELL is Matt? -really... where is he?

Matt. Where the hell are you? Mr.Harding! I can't seem to find you! Are you in London, Paris, Tokyo, Gurgaon, Mumbai, STOCKHOLM? Well, wherever you are I know what you're doing... with the way you dance, not many people can ignore you.

"Same, same but different"

Matt Harding is like any other man. He can dance terribly, with awkwardly swinging arms and convulsive legs, all in one, messed up motion. I happen to be extremely good at it, learned from the best (:P ilu great-grandpa).

We are all same and different at the same time. A peculiar, contradictory yet terribly true fact. We have become so smart that we now believe that it's okay to think with our brains and not our hearts. We humans enjoy the warmth and closeness of being together as one... It just takes someone to start it off. This is where Matt comes in.

I really love the way he describes himself, as a primitive caveman-like creature, eager to fit in the world. He takes facts from the base, at their simplest. Take...um...( see, Im writing down my pauses because Im typing as I'm thinking so if my brain starts to slow down... I have to continue typing, hence the pause.) Ah, yes, take mind quota. To sum it up, our brains were created to inhabit a fairly decent network of people. After a while... the number of people in your "social-networking mind quota" starts to get on the verge of "overwhelming". I love his objectivity towards human nature and his simple understanding of life.

And in most cases, I believe he is right to think that way.

This makes me think of the day before 6th grade ended. We are from different nationalities, yet, that doesn't mean anything. We all said goodbye the same way, waved the same way, hugged the same way, and smiled "Aurevoir" It's our diversity that makes us thrive individually, its our sameness that makes us a family.

The video was hilarious. I LOVED IT! All these people, joyously prancing about, pure bliss. It's like watching a bunch of children playing with a toy car, rag dolls, a brand new toy truck. Going back to our simple "primate" ways.

Do you think we could do that? Go around the school, making total fools of ourselves for the sake of happiness.

The benefits of laughter (my opinion):

*Smile lines (totally hot)- Just kidding. I enjoy the presence of smile lines on people's faces. Traces of a happy life. Trails of fun across faces.

*Ripped abs- Laughing strengthens abdominal muscles, when you laugh, your abdominal muscles contract. Therefore, every time you laugh, its like a little stomach workout.

*Exercised diaphragm

* THE RUSH

*The fantastic physical release
