Evolve Laughing

There's a new surge of comedy relief. And right now some of the best is coming from an Indian, a Brit and a Canadian. Whats cool and new is the cultural sharing that looks a lot like...well, culture. I want a friend like Eddie Izzard, a head therapist like Ricky Gervais and a good times hang loose partner like Russell Peters. Izzard paints Mac's internetting simplicity over Windows through a verbal re-enactment that has "ROTFLMFAO" factor. Ricky Gervais? Had I never had an occasion to be without any entertainment except for Ricky Gervais' "Extras" TV series I would have so missed out on some serious-ly funny stuff...and Peter's ability to hone in on all cultural sensitivities in a non-judgmental yet clearly critical way makes you feel like family. Izzard and Peters have already traipsed thru Nokia Theatre recently but there's still time to catch Gervais if not sold out, treat yourself to at least one of the muses, (Gervais), performing at LA LIVE (USA:)

Last thoughts on america's TIGER And ELIN saga

.
Tiger Woods hinted at his "trangression". What a great word to cover multiple sin. Though we all  have "trangressional moments" our luck, unlike Tiger's to NOT BE FAMOUS shields us from judgement of a mega mini-world . Certainly I've had my laughs at the reel rolling through my mind, comparing his domestic dispute to my own and others. And like any other time when the famous' "secret/private moment" is broadcast, the unfamous(not hating) tend to forget that pain and humiliation of personal misdeeds in a public arena can be devastating.

So we learned that a 33-34 year old world famous golfer lied to his partner and fell for seduction, Why are we so freaked out? Tiger's "gift" is golf. We all have one. And one gift does not a man make.  the sad story is about the negative effects of celebridom. And that there's something comforting about uncelebrity as anyone, at any moment can be on the other side of the lense.
