I was talking with someone (fine, myself) the other day over wine (fine, Colt 45s) about happiness (porn). And he said he had seen something on the internest about the keys to happiness, so I did a google search and discovered that someone at the University of California at Riverside had discovered a secret recipe, seven steps which would lead towards a more satisfying and meaningful existence.
So I'm on it, even though this is how the conversation ended: 'I don't WANT to be happy, goddammit! I like having shit to write about!'
Meh. I'm sure I'll mess it up anyway and wind up unhappy and equally productive (I wrote roughly 10,000 words in February on my blog. Good God, WHAT A WASTE OF WRITING.).
Here is the 7-day plan, in case anyone else out there wants to get happy with me:
Day 1. List of things for which you're grateful
Day 2. Random Acts of Kindness
Day 3. Forgive your enemies
Day 4. Notice life's small pleasures
Day 5. Take care of your health
Day 6. Practice positive thinking
Day 7. Invest time and energy into friendships and family.
So I suppose the first step is to list all those things for which I'm grateful. But I'll put that off til tomorrow, cause right now all I can think of is booze. BOOZE MAKES ME HAPPY. I have a feeling that's not an acceptable answer.
Tomorrow is Day 1. The next day is Day 2. Etc.
Tomorrow I will list those things for which I’m grateful. Off the top of my head, I’m grateful that my brakes don’t make a funny noise. I’m sure I can come up with something else.
In the meantime, back to talking with my friend about porn over malt liquor. I’ll be damned. It’s working.
I feel a little happier already.
Damn.
