I'M NOT HAPPY...
I've been around 44 years now, and I've been a round boy for most of those years as well. I always imagined thinner people were happier than me - but after losing 80 pounds, I can't say that I'm any happier than I was as a fat-ass. I'm not complaining, mind you: I just imagined I'd feel differently. I imagined I'd know a different kind of happiness than I'd never known before. Instead, I wound up learning what I consider to be the Secret of Happiness.

I'm not complaining, mind you: I just imagined I'd feel differently. I imagined I'd know a different kind of happiness than I'd never known before. Instead, I wound up learning what I consider to be the Secret of Happiness.
As an American, I was raised to believe I was entitled to 100%
happiness, all day every day, until I died. But in our Declaration of
Independence, we’re granted only the PURSUIT of happiness -
not actual happiness. The founders of this country were smart not to promise the tired, the poor and the huddled masses yearning to breathe free too much of a good thing.
The good news is that the pursuit of happiness is way better than being happy any day. The irony is that actual happiness blasts us across our faces, necks and chests all the time - but we’re so busy chasing the elusive notion of what happiness is to us at that moment, we tend to overlook the authentic bliss we create for ourselves and others in the process of simply trying to be happy. And by the time we realize these were, in fact, moments of happiness, it's too late: those moments are now memories.
Happiness can't be bottled. It can't be smoked, swallowed, shot or ejaculated. And there is no end game: you never cross the finish line and are suddenly happy. Even when all your wildest dreams come true, you still pursue happiness.
Thankfully, human beings are at their happiest when they feel they're at their most productive. So the only real happiness is the pursuit of happiness. When we chase happy, we feel our best. Life is about the journey, not the destination - so while the idea of happiness sounds great, it’s actually the pursuit of happiness that provides the most contentment. And in that pursuit, we are ultimately at our happiest.
Forgive my stoner ramblings and sorry for stating the obvious. But sometimes, you just wanna remind people they've already won.

I didn't feel quite so lost or as much like crying at my new job.
I went to my first belly dance class since the end of physical therapy for my ankle.
It was my first Tribal class, EVER (this is my favorite style, so it's weird it took me this long to get here, but I didn't have a car before).
It was being subbed by Sherri Wheatley and she was the nicest person. We got to talk for 15mins before hand cause we were waiting for class to start.
I got through 1 of the boxes of my dads stuff that has been too painful to sort through.
The Mr. is making brownies (not like I need a brownie cause I need to loose 30 pounds by June...but I'm back to trying to develop a healthy relationship with food, and so I need to learn to eat in moderation, and...I can't hurt my dude's feelings, right? ;) )
I remembered to publicly count my blessings and not just my bitching.

On the new job:
Manager of digital mastering: "How long have you been on this side of the fence now?"
Me: "3 weeks. This is the end of my 3rd week here."
Manager of digital mastering: "You're doing really well."
Me: "Oh! Thank you!"
Me in my head:

ROBERT!!
Yes, that day is upon us again....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBERT PLANT!!
And you know what else? I get to go see him play October 7th at the Hollywood Palladium!! It was gift from my amazing partner and we are bringing my equally amazing step-daughter! EEEEKKK!!! I am SO excited! She is as in love with Robert as I am, it's gonna be a GREAT night.
I have seen thousands of photos of Robert, and I always strive to post ones that are new to me, so here's a pretty good group I have rounded up for today. There is one that is not safe for work, it has boobs in it, be warned (no more photo links below photos, click on them and it links back to the source)
