Something about this ad...

So I love Hulu. It is  has enabled me to not have cable TV and the queue allows me to watch what I want whenever. And there are some very annoying ads on Hulu but this ad from Levi's catches me every time.

Here are the words:

The Laughing Heart by Charles Bukowski

your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.

-- by Charles Bukowski

So, the ad is an ad and makes you want to go out and live life with the beautiful people and buy some jeans - which I know is false (or if not then I REALLY need those jeans!)

But the words are what get me. And some of it I know is false but I like this idea of going after the light and beating the darkness. And that the more light you have in your life the more you will have. Sometimes my life feels so stagnant and I am unsure of how to change it. Or afraid to try. Because it feels overwhelming to make changes. And this feels like a sterotype but more and more I feel desperate for something more.
