I have never forgotten watching one of Repertory Philippines play when they were still at the old Insular Life building in Makati - The one in the corner of Ayala Aveue and Paseo de Roxas
There was a joke and i laughed out loud, uproariously loud - and alone, followed 2-3 seconds soon after by Jaime Zobel de Ayala and Zeniada Amador - also loudly. Still, for those few seconds, i was laughing loudly and alone - quite an experience.
and i agree about being alive - we will all soon be gone.
When you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.
William Saroyan (born August 31, 1908) often wrote about characters who share his Armenian heritage, as in his book of short stories, My Name Is Aram. He is best known for his first play, The Time of Your Life. It was awarded a Pulitzer, which he refused, saying that "commerce should not patronize art."
