The key to living in LA is to not live in LA. It’s a terrible place.The key to living in L.A. , as i did when i was much younger- is similar to living in any big city- you just sorta find ur bubble and stay there as often as you can.. when i first moved there i lived close to Hollywood and rarely ventured too far out of that area.. later, i lived in Marina del Rey- that was a little trickier since a lot of times id have to work in Hollywood or the Valley- but you find alternative routes (looking at you Venice Blvd) and you try to time things out .. this was before GPS was in heavy usage , so i imagine it’d be a little easier now .. but when not working, i rarely ventured east of the 405, everything i could ever need was in MDR, Venice or Santa Monica… the only real downside was seeing some of my friends- most of them were broke and struggling like i was, so they lived a good 45 min to 1 hr drive from where i lived (i had a sweet deal on a small studio without a kitchen or AC about a half mile from the ocean) so it took a lot of effort and planning to get together - but we did it, and some of those people are still my best friends to this day .
Why does it feel like the funniest people lead the saddest lives.Just finished Matthew Perry's audiobook, which he narrated. Very sad tale of a super-talented actor that could not shake his demons. Drugs and alcohol may not have been in his system when he died, but they killed him. It has made me look at my drinking habits a bit closer.....
It was also crazy to hear that he could not fall in love or get close to anyone. Whenever things got too serious, he would end the relationship so that other person could not hurt him. Wild stuff when you think about it all. Ended up basically dying alone when many people truly loved him. Really sad story for one of the funniest guys on the planet.
I thought of Robin Williams while typing my reply!Why does it feel like the funniest people lead the saddest lives.

“Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci.”Why does it feel like the funniest people lead the saddest lives.
Well, sheet. I'm forked.Because well adjusted people have no need to be funny.
Most any ‘elite’ person is going to have some pathologyWhy does it feel like the funniest people lead the saddest lives.
‘need’ is a tricky wordBecause well adjusted people have no need to be funny.
‘need’ is a tricky word
It’s like saying well adjusted people have no need for sex
If someone has a affable sense of humor it’s highly likely they’ll get positive feedback which will encourage them to keep trying to be funny
So they might chase the high, but it doesn’t necessarily make them an addict
What we’re probably talking about with the sad clown is someone in a fair amount of emotional distress AND a keen insight into society AND a way to frame it in a way that positively engages others
