Ep. 19 - Make A Joyful Noise

For Everyone, especially artists, here is your weekly, witty, inspiration to stay sane in this crazy world! Two weeks ago a launched a new podcast called, "Coolin With AaronaTheVirgo". I have to admit that being back into the podcasting space as a career comedian and a broadcast journalist IS EXCITING. It's exciting to be able to throw myself back into topics and disciplines I enjoy and discovering what new things I can learn or what funny things I notice about them.

I'm a lifelong advocate of laughter as a past-time, as healing medicine for the soul and a convenient distraction to houdini your way out of awkward exchanges. In fact, I've lost count of how many times I had to Moonwalk out of conversations and situations gone bad. It's created a host of hilarity over the years and I highly recommend it. Within the past two weeks, I have been immersing myself in politcal news because I like to stay informed on what's happening during election season. 

I've been very transparent of my views and revealed in my last podcast episode, my candidate choice for the election based upon the facts and research. The more I researched, the more blatant lies and coverups became FUNNY TO ME! It's lowkey scary but also RIDICULOUS that our governmental process and traditions have morphed into a bad reality show. I'm talking Love And Hip-Hop, no Stevie J bad. Real Housewives of Atlanta no NeNe Leakes bad or Jersey Shore no Pauly D bad. Just a cast of characters saying and doing things for the camera but it's uniteresting, barely real cause it's scripted and pre-planned and every 2 days takes a turn for the outrageous.

The most entertaining part about it all is that regular, everyday people are so focused on improving their lives and paying their bills that they have tuned majority of the antics out. I've been watching "man on the street" type interviews where people were being surveyed about their views on the election and the front-running candidates. It appears Americans of all races and classes are coming together MORE than we are being divided! If you ever get spare time to dedicate one hour to watch - foreign news on American politics and "man on the street" interviews on the candidates from MULTIPLE NEWS SOURCES outside of CNN - you will see for yourself that people are just tired of fake drama, fake promises and government overspending! They are capital T "TIRED".

Kamala Harris has been campaigning lately that she intends "to bring Joy" back to the American people. However, she is currently IN OFFICE and created the DISCORD we feel about the economy and immigration. I feel like the reason she is pulling a Barack Obama type strategy is because it's NO SECRET that Hope, Love, Joy and Faith are essential to human happiness. In fact, 1 Corinthians 13:13 in the New Testament Bible told us that more than 400 years ago! Well, because it's STILL TRUE no matter who promotes it. Your weekly, witty takeaway this week is to abide in Joy because no matter what the world throws at you - faith, hope and love ALWAYS ENDURE. 

Hate and Discord can definitely FUCK SOME SHIT UP! It is usually meant to destroy and ruin things but just like trees with DEEP ROOTS, if the foundation of the thing is built in love, joy and hope. It's gonna last the test of time. Somehow, being loving and having joy in your heart for life got the reputation of being weak. When the reality is people go harder and don't play about the people, places and things they love. Love gives you renewable strength! So when people full of discord attempt to deplete you... they end up just wasting their own time and energy cause the love within you restores and returns like it never left. 

So make a joyful noise - whether that be KIND WORDS to someone, sweet music, sharing a joke with someone or just plain laughter about something that tickles cause this world is GHETTO AS HELL without the Holy Spirit and a higher power. Even just repeating the words, "Thank You" for anything you are grateful for is a joyful noise. If you are really technical, get you some binural beats from YouTube or Spotify at 750 megahertz and above (they say 852 megahertz is the frequency of love) to put you in a good, peaceful, soothing vibe and enjoy your "awake hours" as much as you can before you have to "be serious and handle business" it really helps! Enjoy your week :)
