September 19 Are You Happy?Are you happy? I ask because I care about you, really. Now...show me your tits. HA! Gotcha! No, the reason I bring this up is, a friend of mine and I were discussing if we were happy or not a few days back. We were trying to determine if we were in fact happy. It got me to thinking (a dangerous thing) what, in fact, is happiness? I'm sure happiness is different for everyone. Hell, that guy in that picture up there, he looks as happy a hell. Bugs and all. Some people are happy with simple things, the laugh of a child, being told by someone the love that they are loved, a beautiful sunset. Others believe that having lots of toys and more shit than their neighbor will make them happy. Others feel that if they had a lot of money, they would be happy. I would like to think for the most part I'm generally happy but I don't know. What is happiness for me? I had to think? Is it getting off work early, or is it a phone call from a friend I haven't heard from for a long time. Is it having extra cash or a ride on a cool fall evening on my bike? Is it a 30 minute blow job or just being left alone to ponder many thoughts. I really don't know. I have thought about what makes me happy and well it's no one thing, it's many things. Many small things. Thats what I think happiness is. I don't think that there is any one person that is happy all the time. I think, like Dennis Leary said, that happiness comes in small victories, small batches. It is no one constant thing. It is the smile of a child, an cool evening ride on a motorcycle, oh and that 30 minute blow job. I think people try to find happiness in different places only to realize that what they thought would make them happy in fact, didn't do it. Money won't make you happy (believe me, I know). Having the most toys won't make you happy. I think we have to take comfort in our everyday little victories and be happy. I'm not giving up here, just taking it as it comes and trying to let the difficulties of life roll off my back. I'm going to try and not not let the idiots, assholes, and fucknuts in life get to me. I'm not looking to be happy every minute of the day, I just want to be able to go to bed with a smile. I know that when I get off work and I walk in that door at night and my little dog Angel is waiting at the door for me, wagging her tail, I know she is happy to see me and that makes me smile and that makes me happy. What makes YOU happy? P.S. What would make me happy is if you haven't signed my guest book, scroll down and do so.
