Happy Things
Since I spend so much time, perhaps all the time, complaining so much, I’ve decided to shift my focus on things that I like. Which aren’t many, I came to realise after thinking. I’m not referring to the warm sunlight on your face and the simple fragrance of flowers in the morning and all that cliche shit that you should be happy about, I’m talking objects or habits that we like to indulge so much in.
Anyway, since my loves are probably already known (if you don’t, read the navigation bar) I’ll just pick random stuff that I like.
Digress for a moment:
Optimism. Much more important than you may think, folks. Yeah I know, it’s more cool to be pessimistic, gives you the “tall, dark and handsome” type of factor, especially if you’re not handsome. Or tall. Anyhoo, surprisingly, happiness extends your life span.
Easy-going + happy + relaxed + optimistic = You’re living to a hundred, baby.
Now if you’re constantly under stress for a prolonged period of time, you’ll get..
Stress + Frowns + Argh = Cancer
A type of chemical whose name has escaped me for the moment – let’s call it Chemical A – is released when you relent from stress. Such as when you’re working really hard for a long time, then finally you stop because you want to take a break, so you chill and get some coffee. Chemical A is released when you’re relaxed, and it helps to check your body for cancerous cells. So if you don’t relax, Chemical A can’t be released and POOF, you’re prone to cancer.
But also, if you externalise your problems too much, such as hostility, aggression, violence..
Punch + Kick + Attack people = High blood pressure
Lose-lose situation, yeah. So keep those lips stretched towards the heavens, your life depends on it.
But then again, why live to a hundred if you’re alone and abandoned?
But another disadvantage to being a optimist is that optimists manage to keep their happy levels up by comparing themselves to others. Like when they say, “At least you’re not as fat as that woman there.” So maybe optimists tend to be a little more judgmental.
My sister told me this stuff, from her Psychology textbook. Plus, did you know that you start aging when you’re only 20 years old? Wrinkles will form, but you won’t notice your prune face until you’re 30. By the time you’re 40, your eyes will start to go [so will your back] and you hit menopause at 50. Enjoy your wrinkle-free faces while it lasts – only for another 5 years.
Back to the topic!
The new love of my life:
Ryan Stiles!
Oh, Jude Law? Not anymore! He’s so passe man.
I don’t know why I like him so much though, Colin Mochrie came a close second, but Colin lost because his head resembles…a grape? Hairless. Nah just kidding, they’re both awesome.
Plus, he doesn’t even know that I exist, thus unable to dump me, avoiding the inevitable months of depression. Yes! Go me *ooga shaga*
Watch Whose Line is it Anyway?, he’s awesome. Whenever you’re feeling down, suicidal, sad, angry or pissed off, watch an episode of Whose Line? and it’ll make you think about unicorns and rainbows instead of I-hate-this-life-wanna-die thoughts.
Second on my list are..
That’s right, the yummiest food in the world.
Potatoes.
Steam them, bake them, boil them, mash them, cream them, spit in them, they always taste so good even by its own[after adding salt, sugar, butter, sour cream, bacon bits and spring onions of course]
Have you had your potato today?
Third on my list is Meat Loaf!
Meat Loaf galore!
..Oh oops, not that one..
Ah alrighty, Meat Loaf galore! Bat Out of Hell 3’s awesome. Initially, I thought he sounded like an old cheesy drug-ridden rocker with a pot belly trying to show that he’s still got it. But after a couple of times, you begin to acknowledge his passion in his voice.
Have you had your Meat Loaf today?
Well, these are the only 3 I can think of right now.
I’m still wondering whether to publish that saved post..
Anyhoo, I bloody need a haircut. When I sleep, I think Medusa crawls into my bed and tries to strangle me. Hair feels like her tentacles.
I told my mum this, she went:
“Don’t cut!”
“But.. *unable to finish my sentence because hair flew into my mouth*”
But she chose not to see the flyaway hair. Oh well.
Women choose to see what they want to see.
There’s cherry stuck in my braces.
you know the show who’s line is it anyway? i love watching ryan and colin!.. and the other dude who’s name i’ve forgotten
