    I would so love to be there..
    will have to find someone there open enough to channel it to the Universe and I’ll try and pick up on a wave :)

    Happiness
    A feeling of being centred and content with life
    Gratitude expressed, recieved and given out.

    Happiness
    What makes me roll in joy
    may not be the same for you
    but we can share it.

    Happiness
    Is a state of mind, not a destination
    and you need to know how to take yourself there

    Happiness
    you can not wait and hope for someone
    to bring it to you
    just as you can’t blame someone for taking it from you

    Life is but a moment
    for the energies
    contained in these fleshy forms.
    Life opens to us
    when we remember
    that happiness leads the way.
    Life is Fantabulous
    when we realize
    that we have to make ourselves
    Happy first !

    Sparkle
    life rocks..
    be fabulous
    be kind
    treat eveyone like your grandmother
    laugh, and dance and always sing
    and let your voice ring
    across time and space

    We are the rainbow
    fractured but healing

    If you listen between the clapping in that nanosecond
    you will hear me cheering you on from afar

    Peace friend
    see you on the waves of Happiness
    sharing the Joy

    Russell’s been in the USA for a year now. We need vids to keep our peckers up otherwise we’ll just hibernate for the winter with all the other hedgehogs.

    Good god these comments descended into sarcastic bickering quickly. Sycophants versus the inexplicably angry- GO!

    I’m in the “please come back to ole Blighty” camp. It’s gone all Nick Griffin over here. Help. Us……

    Russ – thanks for keeping us up-to-date with your activities. I would love to come to hear you speak on Happiness if only I could. I look forward to the end result – the documentary. Thanks also for many other references to your interests, Chomsky, Dawkins – Varied and intelligent. I thank you for your varied interests. Currently listening to Oasis – and I thank you for that.

    Thanks for giving your fans a forum to express our thoughts. Hugs and Kisses – Best wishes.

    I believe that Adam and Tiffini’s little argument on this blog is healthy. There is no hate and therefore no harm. Best of luck Russell.

    Wish I could be there I’d be really happy!

    @Sarah – “Most people as famous as Russell don’t do this sort of thing, so we’re lucky to get what we’re given!”

    Excuse me, but Russell Brand built his comic career and claim to fame by the grace of his fans and followers liking him so much, so if anything, he should be bending over backwards to please people. If it wasn’t for Russell’s fans and followers, he wouldn’t be where he is today. I totally disagree with what your saying here…lucky to get what we’re given my arse, he should be so lucky to be given what he’s got, all his notoriety and wealth. It’s a two way street my dear.

    Come bless our presence in the mid Atlantic. Come to Annapolis and there are a skew of hospitality joints that will host you comfort. The dreebs here need a taste. And we can’t afford to hop to LA fir the night!

  11. Jess says:

    Hi Sarah I agree, but I like the blogs he writes himself, not just advertising.
    It is true not all celebrities do it, but because Russell is smart… he realises his position is made due to his fans. He is a celebrity because we are his fans, we are not fans simply because he is a celebrity. But we did get quite a bit of attention for a while…. and perhaps because he has kissed a girl and liked it we are on the backburner for a bit ;-)

    Do you have your panties in a wad? Are your boxers too tight? OOHHHHH I love it.I really do it’s just that good ole Deja Vu again. I have stayed away from any commenting and I return to ( a little drum roll please) — SOS in other words nothing has changed.Everybody loves and adores Russell,we want him in the worst way–actually any way we can get him.Whether it be a funny ass vid,a show we can’t possibly go see,a late night talk show spot,any little news,hints of upcoming projects, and photos from the paparazzi–take your pick it’s there for the taking.I do ask myself–did the goats have their babies? what happened to the ball bag? how is Babs? Yes cheeky monkey you left us hanging! I miss literally breakin my neck to get to my mac to get the latest vid.Hiding under my desk at work to watch the “story hat,” “going out,”or singing along to an Elton John song. We are all in the same boat and judging from his latest news we should be on The Good Ship Lollipop.Miss Katy sure is pretty and Russell seems really happy so what’s a girl to do? I guess I’ll just get up,shake the glitter off my clothes …..your a very funny man Russell Brand with lots and lots of fans……cu

    Russell, I want to say how close this is to my heart, as I have a brother in Angola State Prison right now, serving life. He’s been there for about 12 years, and him being there has severed our relationship. I just happened to see your blog on my facebook, and I read this blog. I hope to see clips, or buy the video in just a small hope that my charasmatic brother catches your attention…or I get to see a glimpse of him after 3 years. My husband & I are moving to Alaska, as we are in the Air Force, and I won’t see him for another 4 years. Thanks for bringing comedy to that God awful place.

    Take care,
    Krystal
