Some of the Greats

There are many people that deserve to be apart of a list called the Greats. But two that come to mind, mainly cause I have recently seen their movies, is Bill Murray and Steve Martin.

These two have seriously paved the way for many comedians. The have truly gone above and beyond in their field. Especially when you look back on movies they've done, where they didn't have all the special effects and large budgets for many. What they did was give you an experience with a character.

I say this too because I have recently revisited some old movies of the two that really reminded me of these things.

Bill Murray in "Caddyshack" and "Ground Hog Day" were simply great. For being two different types of roles, yet both taking the characters to above and beyond levels. And let's just say watch after the credits in "Zombieland" and it will just bring you back.

As for Steve Martin I recently watched "The Jerk" also he did a small introduction for a best of Monty Python. In "The Jerk" he keeps his composure while revealing drastic emotions. And even the introduction for Monty Python is just classic prop humor that is done great.

But the one thing you get out of watching these guys is pure enjoyment. Plus I laughed my ass off. How else can you wrong with that. If anything out of all of this, just watch one of their movies and enjoy. You sure won't regret it like "Garfield."

Chapter 1 of The "Having Fun" Manual

Getting off your Ass

Basically to at least have any sort of fun you first have to initialize it. It can be as easy as standing outside and taking in a big deep breath, to traveling thousands of miles to be somewhere fun. But it all just takes that little voice inside to say, "Let's do this."

I know many times myself, I will just be sitting there and thinking I should do something. But I don't. I just sit there and watch TV or go on the internet, as I am now. Anyways there are times when just sitting around getting a nice little home fix never really hurt anyone.

As for you as a person though you need to get out and experience things first hand. With out experiences you can't really learn anything about you, others, life, etc. Even if you well I read this here and saw this on TV there, you are still experiencing it. But you are doing so through someone else. Someone who had the experience and is giving it to you. Now how Fun would it be for you to do that? To go experience something and be able to share it any which way you wanted.

So get off your ass and experience life, and don't forget to have fun doing it.

"The Having Fun Manual"

Introduction

Today I realized that having an amazing hobby that you truly love can make a world of difference. Even with all the crazy turmoil of the world, down to good friends going through hard times. Having your escape just makes everything go away and yet give you so much back.

Sometimes it doesn't work for everybody. Such as, the hobby just doesn't fulfill them as it used to. Or they just have so much messed up stuff in their life that even doing something they love can't fix it for them.

Which today was my plan to help a friend in need to get his mind off some troubling times. So I thought about it and cam up with "The Having Fun Manual." It's a multiple part series in which I can teach you to have fun. So every once in a while I'll just put up things I think might be fun, but hey who knows if it really is until you try it or I actually try it myself.

Chapter 1 (Preview)
Getting off your Ass

It's as easy as that. Stand up step outside and take a deep breath, cause you're a free individual who has the right to.

More to come of course. Just love to keep my audience riveted.
