January 26th – National Ellen Degeneres Day

Happy Birthday Ellen!

There are lot of things that I just love about this woman.

I love that she loves to scare people. Scaring people is one of my favorite things, so I just KNOW Ellen and I would really bond over this. Jumping out and scaring someone is just good clean fun. If you do it right, nobody will get hurt and everyone will end up laughing. That’s fun.

I also think that Ellen is a great role model. She is kind, but she stands up to injustice or bullying. We shouldn’t go around being mean and picking fights, but when we see something that is wrong, we need to vocalize it. Ellen is a great example of that. I’m still a work in progress.

Most comedy is based on getting a laugh at somebody else’s expense. And I find that that’s just a form of bullying in a major way. So I want to be an example that you can be funny and be kind, and make people laugh without hurting somebody else’s feelings.

So, Happy Birthday to the woman you can’t help but want to be friends with. She’ll scare you, make you laugh, buy you a pizza at the Oscars, and make you feel good about the world again.

She also looks great for 57. Get it girl.

We focus so much on our differences, and that is creating, I think, a lot of chaos and negativity and bullying in the world. And I think if everybody focused on what we all have in common – which is – we all want to be happy.

What’s Tomorrow?
