Happy! Happy!! Happy!!!

"If you want to be happy, be." -Leo Tolstoy

This is exactly what I am doing right now today.

Today was a rather enjoyable day of life for me. Nothing really special or extravagant such as having a party or going on a cruise or even stopping somewhere special for a quick bite. Nope...just a regular day on my part.

I can;t really explain my overwhelming happiness. I guess because it's mine personally. You ever have those days when you just go with the flow of the day and your just bursting with energy? Yeah...that would be what my day felt like. Of course, there were a few bumps in the road now and there but I overcame those and continued rolling on.

Happiness can come from anything and I believe people lost the touch of this statement. It can come from the hustle of your work routine, running on the treadmill to burn your satisfied calories limit, or even just walking down the street enjoying the rays of the sun. Happiness can come from anywhere!!!

I just wanted to express that in order to become happy, you have to BE HAPPY. What does this mean? It means what it says...BE. Pause. HAPPY! You have to go for your happiness and keep it in a headlock so it can stay longer at some periods of times when it just wants to leave you for a few days.

Run a marathon, listen to your iPod, play a video game to beat the high score, make a cake, drive around the city, play that guitar, draw a masterpiece, rap over a beat. Mainly...just do you.

Happiness is all around you. What will you do to make yourself happy?

Raise The Bass, Heal Your Soul.

“Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.” -Unknown

You know that feeling you get when your driving around and all of a sudden your local radio station starts to play one of your favorite songs and then your crank up the bass and keep on driving even though you already past your stop about 10 mins ago?

Yeah...that's the power of music.

Music can heal almost any wounds that you have from your daily grind. Whether your style is poppy lyrics with a hit of 80's flair or heavy guitar riffs and a singer screaming bloody murder to even listening to rhythmic instrumentals, music can satisfy anybody.

If you feel down and just need a little splash of happiness, crank it up to 11 and being taken away to your musical sanctuary.

Your loving spirit will thank me later.

Friendships=Medicine

"True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost." -Charles Caleb Colton

Let's face it...your gonna meet someone in this world.

No beating around the bush about it. There are over 10 gazillion people around this revolving rock and in this gigantic population you are bound to find some people that are interested in you and want to be your friend.

This is a great thing called "friendship". My definition of a friendship is two people enjoying each others company and having common interests or experiences with each other in a positive way. To dumb it down to simple terms, two people that have fun being around each other.

Now there are some "fake friendships" out here. These are the ones you gotta look out for because these involve scumbags that don't care about you as a person but care about something on you (money, cars, a job, etc). Don't associate with these cause you will just get heartbroken at the end if they find what they want from you and leave you on the side of the road like yesterday's trash on Route 5.

But for the "friendships" that last a lifetime these are great for the human spirit as a whole. It's almost like a prescription of medicine at your local pharmacist that refills whenever your around friends. Friends can make you forget about how crappy your day was and make it unforgettable and joyous at the end of the night.

And guess what? It can happen on multiple occasions!!! You can experience complete ecstasy of happiness again and again and again...and it's legal!

Friends are part of everyone. Even if you don't think you have friends or will even associate yourself with another human being...it's gonna happen and this is a good thing!!! Friends can keep you sane...at certain moments...and make your life more meaningful and joyous at the same time.

You don't really need to make an attempt to start a friendship, it's sort of natural in a sense, but for true friendships to last...some work has to be made towards that to have it last forever. And that's better than any pleasure from prescription of ibuprofen or banana bag can provide.

Well a banana bag can come quite handy...just kiddin'.
