Andy Lam - I am overwhelmed!
Egad! Yesterday I wrote about how much people LOVE me and the wonderful ways the come to visit my site. The love, like a driving summer storm, continues to pour down on me, ANDY LAM! Here’s what I’m talking about.
When I woke up this morning - at my usual 3:47AM - I noted the murmur of many muffled, yet distinct, voices. Grabbing a long wrapping paper tube for self-defense, I began crawling across the floor toward the source of the sound. My principal sleeping chamber is on the 15th floor, so the crawl - down the damp, stone spiral stairs - took me some time. As I pulled myself toward the main gate on my elbows, the murmuring was becoming louder and louder. As I raised myself to peep through one of the numerous arrow loops in the wall on either side of the gate, a stunning site rushed into my eyes.
For as far as I could see, there was a gathered multitude. I ran around the wall checking arrow slit after arrow slit and the view was the same in every direction. From the base of the wall to the distant horizon - there, standing in the cold dark night, were tens of thousands of people. They stood and shivered together - all hoping simply for a chance to be able to tell their friends and relations that they had caught sight of me, ANDY LAM!
Overcome by emotion, I started to laugh hysterically. My laughter was like the pealing of a great bright bell and its sound swept over the people like a warming summer breeze. They began talking among themselves in excited tones. I could hear them asking each other if they could possibly be hearing my laugh. Still holding my tube, I mounted the upper wall and began to walk around the perimeter of the compound just laughing and laughing and laughing.
I laughed until I shook, until I felt sick to my stomach and began to vomit. I vomited onto the ground and that made me laugh even more. The power of my laughter began to drive the darkness from the sky; and even though it was still too early for the sun to rise, it appeared to see what all of the laughter was about.
In no time flat, the people and the sun and the ground and the sky and the clouds and the walls and the gates and the stars all began to laugh as well and the sounds of all of our laughter went into outer space and reached rocket ships and spacemen and Martians - and they began to laugh too! Their laughter was mixed with our laughter and it reached alien planets on the other side of the galaxy and they began to laugh on those planets. Soon, all of the life forms in the Milky Way were laughing and now the laughing spread across the entire UNIVERSE. And all across the UNIVERSE everyone was laughing until everyone began to feel sick to their stomachs and started to vomit. But that just made everyone laugh harder. We all laughed so hard that our laughs went from the UNIVERSE into the ENIVERSE and all the ENERGY began to laugh too. Soon, all of everything everywhere was rollicking and laughing in one giant festival of laughter. Tears flowed and it was really something.
When we’d all laughed ourselves out (you must remember this part since you were there) and caught our breath we all said how wonderful it was to have heard the great UNIVERSAL LAUGH of ANDY LAM! Even though I am ANDY LAM! I had to agree.
So that’s why I felt overwhelmed. You would too if the entire UNIVERSE obeyed your every whim.
Stunned at my own wonderfulnes, I am . . .
ANDY LAM!
