I can be very silly when I want to be and even when I am nervous in front of large crowds but once I break the ice with a joke usually directed towards myself the audience warms up and I stop feeling as if I am going to throw up my breakfast – lunch or dinner.
I would say I am more silly then flirty. More Gracie then George.(Burns and Allen)
Great article and your English is great by the way.Often Thumper feels something was lost in translation but I understand him perfectly ;D

Love this article.

After decades of self improvement and personal growth seminars the most enlightening course was a comedy workshop. I was SO SERIOUS. I knew I needed help and this was the perfect solution. Our material? Our most embarrassing moments and the things we hate most about ourselves.

Think about it. Amusement is the highest vibration of energy. Laughing at ourselves is the highest form of amusement. Ridiculous is funny. You do the math. Ridiculous works!

Being ridiculous is something that I am very familiar with. I come from a family who are very quick to point out any ‘faux pas” so I learnt early on in life that I am always gonna make a boob of myself at some point. The real trick is to get over it and get on with life. As you quite rightly said, looking at the times when we are ridiculous and realizing that we are in fact moving forward is a great way to live.

Oh Draqos this is just DELIGHTFUL!! I love it. It made me think of an event that happened this morning. I was going for my jog across the high desert and I have to climb over a low fence to get onto the trail. Everyone does it. But I was climbing over and I forgot that I had on my martial arts pants that I do Tai Chi etc in. They are very baggy. And there were a lot of cars going by, headed to the nearby college.

As I went over the fence my pants caught on the barbed wire and I fell to the ground on the other side of the fence, but my pant leg (hence leg) was still hooked up on the fence. I was perfectly unharmed, but my instinct was to try and cover the whole incident, which was impossible with one leg caught on the wire and me on the ground. Finally I just lay there laughing my guts out thinking, “Just laugh over it Robin. It’s a bit late to try and act like nothing happened. And who will care in a hundred years time anyway?” LOL!! So I just embraced my ridiculous situation, reached up and unhooked my pant leg and groveled in the dirt and got up. I knew about 10 cars had seen me. I just didn’t care because It felt sooooo good to embrace that much of my humanity.

ALSO, my friend, I am BLOWN away that you’ve had NO English lessons. You are a better writer than I am and I grew up with Emglish. I applaud you and just am hugging you for all your hard work and courage.

If we are not willing to allow ourselves to be ridiculous we will never fully live. It takes guts and a willingness to make a fool of ourselves to REALLY find out who we are and REALLY live a full life. And you have done a top notch job of it. Congratulations. Hugs, Robin

Thank God I’ve been ridiculous this past few years. I find myself in deep meditation and constant learning. I have partially neglected my friends and I have this weird feeling that they are taking about my sudden awkwardness.

In those times I am evolving. I’m very happy about who I am today, very different from who I am before.

Hi Dragos.

Good call there about your English. That’s pretty ridiculous when you get made fun of for that, and you have the good way to respond.

Being ridiculously rejected is something I have partaken in, and it sure is easier when you put it in the “ridiculous” category, as you can learn a lot much quicker. You get the most when you push the most.

Keep it rolling big guy.

Wow Dragos, I think your English is amazing, and without any language lessons. Personally, I’m impressed. Trust me, there are plenty of English born who’s writing makes you look like a pro. I remember the first time I went to Mexico without speaking any Spanish. When I finally became aware of what I had been saying, I had to laugh. I sure did give the locals plenty to smile about. Ridiculous, absolutely, but I sure had fun. Everything has a learning curve, that’s one of the best things about learning new things.
