As I sat in my room watching Scrubs, many things ran through my head. Why are sitcoms so hilarious? How is it that all of them can't go more than a few minutes without a laugh? What makes Todd such a pervert? How can Ted live with himself? Why does J.D. get to have such vivid day-dreams, and why can't mine be like his? But on top of all those thoughts, probably the one that stuck out most was wondering what life would be like as a sitcom. Coincidentally, there is a Scrubs episode about life as a sitcom, but since it already is mostly a sitcom, I fail to think it properly addresses the point.
But what would life be like as a sitcom? Would it be worth it? Would you even have any fun ever? It feels like, for a sitcom to work, there's got to be somebody who is almost constantly getting made fun of, and whose life would in reality suck, but doesn't get focused on too much. One person who goes from lover to lover, never actually being able to find that person, but having sex a plenty. And then there's a crazy chick who has a totally messed up childhood, and everyone constantly demeans till she gets her act together. So many sitcoms go through this same type of style, or something similar. And often times, life can be somewhat like that. But, as good as laughing is, I fail to see people wanting always just to laugh. Sometimes a good cry feels good. Sometimes bad things are the best for us.
Albeit, there are some sitcoms that aren't just laugh laugh laugh, everything doesn't always have to be a joke. Sometimes that just gets plain annoying. Life in a sitcom just wouldn't be quite worth it...
This blog didn't turn out as well as I had previously imagined it :/ Ah well. Enjoy!

I like those thoughts Mikey. I agree.
I've wondered why we are given movies/tv shows like this. And I suppose that most people are unhappy with their lives because they have standards that they will always make a funny joke, or that the things they say will make the other person tell them how much they mean to them or something like that. If that makes sense.haha.
I know I'm that way. I always think that everything will be picture perfect or have a wonderful soundtrack or a great episode ending like Scrubs always does. And sometimes it does, but hardly ever. I think that my standards are way too high for my life, because I always expect it to do certain things or create certain drama. I guess I'm alright with it not being so, but theres one thing that I've ALWAYS wanted and probably will always: I want to go out big, with every eye on me, belting some broadway tune as I'm led up the stairway to heaven, hugging teary-eyed people along the way. I guess thats werid, or selfish. But, that something I want. I know it won't happen, but I still want it. Heck, it's my last moment on earth, why not go out with a perfect finale?
Anyways, you're right. But, I think that films, books, tv shows and ect really have a way of reaching us. Just a character that we love, for instance, or a monlogue that touches us. Underneath it all, I think theres always something that we can gleam from.
I love you! See you soon, hopefully!
