Have you ever had a flavour of thought that was distinctly sweet? I remember writing an answer on Waiting for Godot for Amlan da, and I am glad he liked it. In it, I wrote that despite the shit, of which there is no end, Vladimir and Estragon wait, with infinite love and sadness, and belief in the goodness of life. It amazes me how true it remains, and that I knew this then.
I was watching Community, a series I have come to love and which makes me laugh harder than TV has in a long time, and in it, Jeff Winger yells at Abed to take his cutesy, I can't tell life from TV gimmick with him. To which, he replies, 'I can tell life from TV, Jeff. And TV makes sense, it has structure, logic, rules and likeable leading men. In life, we have this, we have you.' (Jeff had just gone and undone unbelievable kinds of shit.)
