Even good comedy is about suffering. This is why most Mormon fiction is crap. Because the culture is all about sunshine and pat answers and any depiction of suffering is sanitized. Life contains suffering. This is fact. If you accept it and then commit to life, life becomes much more manageable and joy more frequent.Pirate Aggrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02860036647341281899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281071.post-63365636725645907592016-11-30T00:14:59.200-07:002016-11-30T00:14:59.200-07:00Yeah, I believe that helped inspire "You Trea...Yeah, I believe that helped inspire "You Treat Me Like Shit"<br /><br />One thing I've found is that it's rather difficult to play the blues on a ukulele <br /><br />Even the minor chords sound somewhat happy<br /><br />Dan Tschirharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02130377432466485026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281071.post-62745205480786978782016-11-28T09:03:12.540-07:002016-11-28T09:03:12.540-07:00When we were in high school we were all pissed abo...When we were in high school we were all pissed about some shit that was going on at school and me and we all went out to some park and sang the blues.

I suppose it helps to know when you are in pain that at least you now qualify to be cool enough to be included in the club if misery. My dad once saw Louie Armstrong play live in New York. He said he was amazing. shit. Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532323549207564871noreply@blogger.com
