The world is an interesting place, and sometimes the way I view it even more so. I have an awkward way of taking something, and pulling it to an absurdity, and then bundling it back together. It is the thing from which comedy is born, this ability to look at the absurd. An absurdity is a thing that is extremely unreasonable, so as to be foolish or not taken seriously, or the state of being so. This is comedy, and this is a main concept of being Frank. This absurdity is all around us, and can be yours to laugh at if you choose to look hard enough. It really is not that hard to find. Here, I'll give you a freebie. Just watch Bugs Bunny slam Yosemite Sam's face into a frying pan. The way his face comes out in the shape of the pan!? Yeah.. absurdity at work! I would say this is an outlook born of Love, an ability to laugh at the world that I see. Upon hearing this, people tend to look at me and say... Frank, you are out there.
To which I look them right back, in the eye, and I say,
"Well, I can't wait for you to be here. It's a hell of a view!"

Yes Frank it is your world, live it by your rules
ReplyDelete"A hell of a view." I hope we can all live life feeling like that at some point. There's definitely the ups and downs but then again that just goes to the tension of opposites Morrie talked about, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your view of the world with us Frank, not just in this post but throughout the semester. You were always generous with your classmates and willing to offer your point of view.
