Happyness

I figured that I'd scribble(or is it type?) something down before the month had ended so I dont end up with a sad looking (1) besides January. Yea, I can just edit all of my posts to say "Jan XX, 20011" but that would be lame and I dont "do" lame. I remember thinking about this post and I had an amazing metaphor (and by amazing I mean it would have blown your mind) but sadly I cannot remember said metaphor because I'm just that much of a baller. I kind of feel that anything I write will be less amazing now that I have lost the metaphor to end all metaphors, but I will proceed with this post nonetheless.

Listening to stories about people partying and smoking weed and all of that jazz is kind of depressing. Not because I'm not doin any of those things(not really my type of thing anyway) but I cant help but wonder if they really have... I guess nothing better to do. What compels them to pursue this lifestyle?

Its actually kinda funny how what I was thinking and what we were learning in church pretty much lined up with each other. At first, I was curious to whether or not these people were happy with their lives. Later, it turned into "Are these people doing this to be happy? or are they doing it because they arent happy?" The latter was eventually jumbled into "why are people unhappy in this city" which led me to believe that in Irvine people are too privileged.

I think a lot of people have too much stuff. They have too many things that in the end, cannot and will not help them become happy. Yea, there is always short term happiness that you can get from playin video games or having a nice slice of pie but that sort of happiness is fleeting. In this buildup of fleeting happiness, people are at a loss to what happiness looks like. Instead of a friend or an action, they see it as a video game or a car etc. When we fail to attain objects of our happiness we often complain that we are not happy.

Its weird but I think that if you want to be happy you have to not want to strive to be happy; you dont blatantly do things that will make you unhappy (e.g. cooking bad food for yourself) but you dont seek to only be happy. If you only pursue happiness then I think that you wont really get "true" happiness; of course "true" happiness is subjective so I wont go into all that jazz.

I really dont know where I'm going with this. I guess I just wanted to say this out loud, it feels a lot stupider when I do actually type it all out and I honestly cant see any ballin metaphor that would have gone with this anymore (although I come up with ballin metaphors so 's debatable).

And so I bid you good reader adieu 'cos honestly its been a long week and this new semester is staring which is kinda ass soooo yea. See you on the flipside when I decide to write more in this nonsensical wall of text that I call a blog.
