C'est La Vie

"No longer forward nor behind
I look in hope and fear;
But grateful take the good I find,
The best of now and here."
- John G. Whittier

For A Pessimist I'm Pretty Optimistic

No more birthday blues for me! I'm going to Disneyland!
Ok, not really. I just thought of all those people who win the olympics or whatever and reporters ask them "you've just one nascar, what are you going to do now!" "I'm going to Disneyland!"
Ok, blah, moving on...
No really, I'm traveling during spring break.
"I'm so excited...and I just can't hide it..."
I'll be gone for almost 10 days, I think.
Staying with friends, gonna have a blast, and all that jazz...

Which brings me to the next topic of discussion:
What happened to my carefree, kickback, happy-go-lucky outlook on life?
I used to be exceptionally good at it.
The BLAH in life has gotten to me.
But fear not.
I have been putting great effort into getting my joie de vivre back.
It's been going very well so far.
How did I lose it, you ask?
I used to be so nonchalant in dealing with the stressful drama that the universe always threw at me. I guess I was so focused on being so unfocused with these melodramatic irritants that I slowly lost my touch on being happy-go-lucky with the little ones.
The littlest things started to irritate me and cause me to blow my fuse quicker than pants drop in the bathroom stalls at prom.
How could I have let this happen?
But, like I said, I've been working at.
Quite effectively, thank you very much.
How have I been accomplishing this, you ask?
Simple.
I've been laughing at everything.
Laughter is the true medicine.
I have to sit through a boring lecture? I find things to laugh at. My Art 101 prof. said something along the lines of "this country of antiquity was surrounded by what is called the ocean." I kid you not. I wrote it down and put quotations around it so I wouldn't forget and to confirm that my ears did not deceive me.
Somebody's irritating me? I start laughing by what they're saying. I search for dumb qualities in people all the time now. Somebody think's they're being all hotshot? Dumb! When people try to do that, the dumb factor in their pathetic strive for attention almost always spews out. It's unavoidable. And it's hilarious.
Laugh at the little things, laugh at the big things.
What's the point in living life if you're always so serious, always trying to make yourself feel important - you'll miss out on all the funny things you're passing by.
There's enough funny to go around.
You'll find that the universe can be quite generous in even the most unsuspecting of times.
