Despite writing about the power and importance of optimism, I’ve noticed certain people on this blog seem abit down …. sooooooooooo to help ‘cheer them up’ abit, I thought I’d show a video of a fat bloke who laughs alot.
No, it’s not Andy and it’s not even me [who is much more svelte thanks to my food delivery program] … it’s this guy, who I wrote my 2nd ever post about.
If he doesn’t make you smile, then all hope is lost – either that or you really did drink too much last night or are fed up of the weather. Ha!

That’s just strange – did make me laugh though – also got me some strange looks from my colleagues.
Comment by Jade May 16, 2007 @ 6:51 pmI just got an email on positivity from my mum, she is home in Aus watching Oprah and says (I don’t know who she is talking about, but one of Oprah’s guests):
… it’s quite an amazing philosophy they practice, one mantra is.. energy flows where thought goes… so if we dwell on bad feelings or negative thoughts then that’s where our energy goes and creates more bad feelings and negative thoughts, thus a big cycle of unhappiness for us.
I thought I was happy and positive, but it sounds like she is giving me a hint.
Comment by Jade May 16, 2007 @ 6:58 pmthat’s nuts.
Comment by Marcus May 16, 2007 @ 7:00 pmJade you are a happy and optimistic person – hell, you don’t even like to swear – so tell your Mum to back off or she has us lot to answer to, 🙂
I should point out I FUCKING HATE OPRAH … and so feel compelled to disagree with whatever she/her guest is saying, ha.
Besides, sometimes I think HATE is one of the most liberating emotions in the World.
Lets face it, we live in very ‘PC times’ [bar inside the cynic office] so much of the time we surpress our feelings and emotions.
When you actually embrace that hate – you can feel a rush of euphoria which ultimately lets you feel optimistic and positive about the future because [1] you’ve let out what has been held in for so long and [2] more often than not, you find others also share your view so you no longer feel alone and isolated.
But that might just be me. Ahem.
Comment by Rob May 16, 2007 @ 7:05 pmSee … I’ve spouted off about Oprah and already I feel happier about life.
Comment by Rob May 16, 2007 @ 7:06 pmI HATE EASY JET. With all my heart I HATE Easy Jet.
Love this blog mind.
Comment by Marcus May 16, 2007 @ 7:10 pmCan hate be good?
Can hate be great?
*whistles into distance*
Comment by Rob Mortimer May 16, 2007 @ 7:12 pmIt did make me smile. I liked the crazy 90’s dance moves he pulled out.
And unhappy? moi? Naaaah.. enraged at times, yes.
Comment by Will May 16, 2007 @ 7:48 pmWhy isn’t my comment being posted?? Now I’m pissed off.
Comment by Jade May 16, 2007 @ 8:05 pmSo it posts that …
Comment by Jade May 16, 2007 @ 8:06 pmi’m a little glum today. that crazy happy man made me giggle, but also very grateful that i’m not in a room full of people like him – then i would definitely feel hate. love this blog too.
Comment by lauren May 16, 2007 @ 8:06 pmi had the same trouble the other day jade… rob – your wordpress is getting funky again…
Comment by lauren May 16, 2007 @ 8:07 pmI tried to say something like this before:
You know, I have always thought of hate as a wasted emotion and a negative use of energy. But, maybe you have a point. Hate is a huge motivator to make positive changes in your life. *u#ck 🙂 Maybe you have something there. ha ha.
On the other hand, spending time dwelling on hating something or someone is time that could be spent on happier pursuits. Maybe the secret is to embrace the hate, revel in it, make changes and then move on and let go of it.
I just couldn’t swear – tried but failed, maybe I need more anger. I’ll go tell my mum to back off.
Comment by Jade May 16, 2007 @ 8:09 pmCant argue with the Honda ads…
Comment by Rob Mortimer May 16, 2007 @ 8:13 pmLauren, I’m sorry you are feeling glum. I think it would be nightmareish to be in a room full of people like that – there is something creepy about his laugh.
Comment by Jade May 16, 2007 @ 8:15 pmI can argue with anything or anyone.
Comment by Marcus May 16, 2007 @ 8:15 pmgo on jade. say it. f.uc.k. really, it’s easy – f (next to g on they keyboard) u (next to y), c (under f) and k (appropriately just under your middle finger if you’re touch typing). go on, you can do it. fuck.and make sure you punctuate it with one of these stupid things 😉 – for mrc campbell.

Comment by lauren May 16, 2007 @ 8:45 pmFuck you Lauren :). Are you happy now?? You do know I’m joking don’t you.
Comment by Jade May 16, 2007 @ 8:55 pmPeace and love
Jade sort-of swore … how I wish her and Lauren had got together and then all this anticipation of foul mouthed behaviour would be over. Night all …
PS: Jade – your deleted comments will be up in a second, my WordPress is having a ‘queenie’, sorry.
Comment by Rob May 16, 2007 @ 9:58 pmActually Jade – forget about your deleted comments coming back ‘on’ – I’ve just seen they are the same as the comment you finally managed to post … and may I congratulate you on your ability to write the same thing over and over again without any changes. Genius.
Comment by Robert May 16, 2007 @ 10:01 pmSometimes it’s nice to get to these posts late. It’s too late to join in but it’s very funny.
Comment by NP May 16, 2007 @ 10:26 pmBy the way,I’m having a shocking day, this cheered me up. Thanks Rob
Whoever or whatever is giving NP a crappy day … watch out because he’s our mate and today is officially NO SHIT WEDNESDAY so you are risking a right beating if you carry on in this way. God I need to go to bed, I’m talking even more shit than usual.
Comment by Rob May 16, 2007 @ 10:38 pmNP – give those fuckers a piece of your mind.
Comment by Will May 16, 2007 @ 11:04 pmBrilliant. Very funny.
Comment by Charles Frith May 16, 2007 @ 11:57 pmThank you for locking in AT LEAST 2 weeks of nightmares with that video, Rob.
The angle change at 19secs left haunts me.
