do you play in any jam nights anywhere? dan electro's maybe? anyway... no, not happy or maybe just not satisfied. i dunno.
I'm not very happy but I'm not very unhappy either. My life isn't bad but its not great and overall I'm OK with that. I've always believed we should never be fully contented so we continue to strive to better ourselves but also being able to recognize when things are good for us.
I'm very happy. I've spent the last 6 months watching my son grow. I wake up earlier than I used to and go to bed sooner, but it's a helluva good job.
Happiness comes in small doses folks. It's a cigarette, or a chocolate cookie, or a five second orgasm. That's it, ok! You c*m, you eat the cookie, you smoke the butt, you go to sleep, you get up in the morning and go to f-cking work, ok!? That is it! End of f-cking list!
Things are better for me than they were last fall, but it could still be a lot better. I am tired of our money always being tight, but there isn't much I can do about it other than continue to pay on the debts that need to be paid off and tell the wife (it seems like every other day) to watch the miscellaneous spending. I keep telling her and myself that some day, we won't ever have to worry about that crap.
I had been sitting in with Steve Krase and the In Crowd downstairs at Fitzgeralds on Wednesday nights, but I've heard he isn't doing that gig anymore. When I do a jam, it's usually Shakespeare's on Sundays (this is my favorite, because my man Spare Time Murray runs it) or DanElectros on Thursdays. Plus, it looks like I'm getting my blues band back together so probably not much time for jams in the near future.
I am actually very happy. Everything is going well and I thank God for the blessings I have every day. Beautiful wife, beautiful family, beautiful home, last day of school today...Life is great!!!
i'm not happy. The will to succeed drives me and right now, i'm not even close to being where I want to be. Things could be a hella lot worse, but I have a goal and i'm not even closing to reaching it.
i think that's largely true. or you discover "there" was the road to where you thought there was. yeah, i'm happy. it's largely from perspective.
Let's see I'm unemployed, live with the parents after having the best 4 years of my life in college. But things get better I just got to catch a break when it comes to getting a job that interests me. Which brings to me a question. What kind of job out there will take any degree? I have a hospitality degree but realized that I hate the business and theres really nothing else I have experience in besides restaurants. I've taken 2 jobs in the business since graduation and I hated them both. awh this is what happens when you are asked when your young" What do you want to be when you grow up?" I always had no idea and now I'm grown and still have no idea. So ya life sucks but it could always worse.
I'm reasonably happy. I love my wife, have a good, rewarding job and a good relationship with my family. So the big stuff is good. But, I've noticed that I don't really experience the kind of intense, euphoria-like, happiness that I did when I was younger and I've been reflecting on that. I think it probably has to do with a much greater awareness of the negative realities in life- the misery that the majority of the world lives in, the dishonesty and greed of most political leaders, the irrational thinking by a large % of the population, etc. This growing awareness as I get older tends to add a tinge of sadness to even my happiest moments. The antidote is to take active steps to make a positive difference in the world. Has anyone else noticed this tendency of "less intense" happiness as they get older?
