It's always important to see where you've been.

“It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence, we shall look upon what we think our present existence, as a dream.”
~Edgar Allan Poe

All I Really Want Is To Be Happy

I want to be happy.

A friend and I were just discussing if 50% of my mood is determined by genetics (ouch!) and 10% is external circumstances I really have to do my best with the remaining 40% which is determined by my actions and thoughts. I guess eating right, getting exercise (Argh! My doctor ultimately was right with that pat advice he gave lo those many years ago when I was 300 lbs and trying to erringly convince him to give me diet pills.) That leaves the thought part. Meditation. Prayer. Thinking positively and wishing well for every living being on this planet. Throw in some comic books, Ska, Chillstep and J-Pop music and I really can't lose. Onward and upwards.
