Where in the world am I today?: North Vancouver, BC, Canada

“Once you can laugh at your own weaknesses, you can move forward. Comedy breaks down walls. It opens up people. If you’re good, you can fill up those openings with something positive. Maybe… combat some of the ugliness in the world.”

–Goldie Hawn, US actress & comedienne (1945 – )

Addendum…

“I’d much rather be a part of the remedy than the disease.”

–David ‘checkerhead’ Aiken

I love the idea of laughter being the antidote to the ugliness in the world. All of a sudden my choice to pursue a career that puts laughter into the world seems like a much nobler choice. If, through what I’ve chosen to do, I can lighten peoples hearts, if only for the duration of my show, I feel that I’ve achieved what I was put on this planet to do..
