"Did you see him?" [Sherlock Holmes] asked.
"You mean the old fellow who has just gone out?"
"Precisely."
"Yes, I met him at the door."
"What did you think of him?"
"A pathetic, futile, broken creature."
"Exactly, Watson. Pathetic and futile. But is not all life pathetic and futile? Is not his story a microcosm of the whole? We reach. We grasp. And what is left in our hands at the end? A shadow. Or worse than a shadow -- misery."
- From "The Adventure of the Retired Colourman"
I'm happier than you motherfucker !!
(Unless you live in the states but likely you live in Arizona so it doesn't matter anyway)
Today is the start of Happiness Week here at SUPERBLOG!! Join us every day for a new and exciting post on being happy.
1. Music makes you happy. Therefore you should read this post - and, indeed, every forthcoming post - while listening to Ren & Stimpy's Happy Happy Joy Joy song.
2. Movies make you happy. Have you seen Happiness? It's good. Download it. It's free and you'll stick it to the man.
3. Books make you happy. And now you can actually buy Authentic Happiness! Warning: Inexplicable.
Other purported sources of happiness: art, sex, money, marriage, children, work, porn, friends, security, freedom, revenge, pets, alcohol, drugs, toys. (Granted, some of those may be more commonly associated with feelings of misery.) We'll deal with as many of them as we have time for before the week is over. See you tomorrow!
