Weed, Booze, and Comedy

So as an anthropologist I have always been one for studying humans and our nature. Well I went to this comedy show where they had performed an experiment. They had a total of 6 comedians which they broke into 3 teams. The first team was drunk, the second was stoned, and the last were completely sober. Based on the audience applause, they were judging to see which team of comedians was funnier. What I took away from this was more than just what was displayed at face value. Now I observed the drunken team performed with no inhibition. They seemed to be in great spirits and just put their material out there. The stoned team was super chill, a little awkward, and easily lost track of time/sentences. The sober team was funny, but to me they lacked the appropriate energy and looked more nervous than the other two. The drunken team ended up winning. (I'm in no way suggesting that you should go partake in any substances FYI.)

What I learned from this was the importance of ENERGY. The people who had been drinking weren’t shy, they weren’t afraid or hesitant. Their excitement was contagious and that is what the audience was enjoying! The team that was high wasn’t bringing enough energy because they were so relaxed and appeared a little self-conscious about their jokes. So although their material was funny, we didn’t laugh as hard. The sober team also had some funny jokes but they also didn’t have enough energy and appeared less confident because they were fully aware of the audience.

Like my fellow blogger #TheMadScribe wrote about in her blog about sixth senses, (here’s the link to check it out Sixth Sense/Gut Feelings), people feed off of each other’s energies. That is why you can tell how others are feeling or thinking without the exchange of words. The concept of “vibes” is a real thing. That is why you can feel if someone is or isn’t someone you should be around. So when you work on being a positive person and smiling or generally feeling good about being blessed to have air in your lungs and see a new day, other people can feel/sense that goodness you are releasing in your aura. You will find that you will attract not only others but people that are like you! Hence the concept of misery loving company. So if you want to have good people around you, the first thing to do before you even walk out that door is to get yourself in a good place.

Just go try this for a week. If in a week’s time you don’t notice that a better attitude isn’t making anything better in your social/occupational/romantic/personal life well no harm no foul. If all else, you just had a great week! Don’t let yourself be the victim of another person with bad vibes, they just want you to join their pity party and . . .

AIN’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!
