Laugh it out

In all seriousness... laughing and being silly is one of the most natural elements in our group. No matter who we are with, its the comedy that really keeps the mood light and laid back. And it really doesnt matter where we are either. yesterday the constituency of rascals included Lorenzo, Paolo and myself... for about 3 hours, we watched stand up comedians, gay referees, whack job politicians and instructional nutrition videos. We took a break from the work, the boredom, the monotony of all the noise that is constantly being rubbed into the mind.
Have you ever taken the time to look at someone straight in their eyes? Well if you havnt I feel sorry for you. Maybe your an alien from another planet.
I however, am not
Looking someone in their eyes takes allittle bit of nerve. But once you get over it you can open up so many details of peoples lives in such small amounts of time. Its amazing to me that at one moment two people so far apart can direct their pupils to the exact same space in time and share fractions of seconds with each other. And silence, silence is very under rated. the concept of awkward moments is very foreign to me and my cohort. If a person believes that they enter into an awkward moment, it means that they are not mature or able to understand the depth of silence. We fill silence with the only thing that we have, our thoughts.
Two people look down, wiggle their toes, one might let out a fart or a sigh, the both look up into another's eyes, smile a little bit and go along with their separate universes.
