I've been happy today since about 11:00 am for no reason

I've been happy before when good things happen. It usually lasts a few hours, and then it's back to a full understanding that I and everyone I love will suffer and die, and that civilization itself is a very fleeting thing, etc.

But I've never been happy for several hours without a reason before. I kind of like it. It's really damn weird.


Edit: maybe I've got a brain tumor. I'd better not check it out until the mood passes.

If you find yourself with paint on your face battling Batman through a swanky highrise, it might be time to stop laughing. Otherwise you're good to go.

I'm not convinced Second Stone is happy. If he is happy and he knows it, he should really want to show it in some way or another.

Did I ever tell you how I got these scars?

I think I still fit in my Heath Ledger Joker outfit.

It's not accomplishment happy, like that time after heart surgery where I was constipated for a week from the opiates and then gave birth to a new member of the bar.

I first noticed my untriggered happiness today while driving to the store and "Dancin' In The Moonlight" came on my playlist and I started singing along. I then noticed that two young golden eagles where telephone pole hopping and that put a smile on my face. I'm thinking that maybe I died and just moved on to a more pleasant dimension of existence. You know, the one where Joe Biden kicks Trump's ass out of the WH on Jan. 20. And then I smiled again. And then I got back and read the news, and the Republican Party is still busy destroying it's own credibility full tilt. Still happy. It's weird.

Tomorrow Never Knows

Both a manic and a hypomanic episode include three or more of these symptoms:
Abnormally upbeat, jumpy or wired.
Increased activity, energy or agitation.
Exaggerated sense of well-being and self-confidence (euphoria)
Decreased need for sleep.
Unusual talkativeness.
Racing thoughts.
Distractibility.


I don't have any of those symptoms. I've the usual low energy level, I still feel worthless, but I'm okay with it because we are all going to die anyway, and why worry. I'm sleeping the same, and my thought processes are the same.

I was just driving along and wasn't in dread of any of my usual stuff. It's really odd.

Every night to keep from rolling out of bed.

I thought it was half a dose at bedtime, and half a dose in the morning. To keep from rolling out of bed and so you could stop pissing on your shoes.

Well, aren't we proud of our better living through chemistry? The only evidence that Jesus used weed is that he was a long haired, bearded dude who wore a plain robe and sandals and hung out with his homies until he got crucified. Not stoned. Get up and get back to work! You aren't supposed to be happy.

52 straight hours of happy. Normal sleep, normal level of energy. This is going to be nice as long as it lasts.

Wow, that is a long boost. I've simmered down to smug, myself.

It's been over a week now. Still feeling pretty mellow. That Trump got his ass mightily kicked may have had something to do with it. Maybe self-the destruction of the Republican Party has something to do with it. I think it is more down to I have several very nice french style kinds of cheese in the fridge.

Rudy G's performance these past few days has provided an excellent shot of cheer with a nice tinge of schadenfreude.

Now, but I'm showing mine to MacKenzie, his ex-wife, right now.

Okay, I just looked at it. It's hilariously phallic. If they could arrange for it to have emergency fire suppressing foam emitted from the top, nobody would believe it isn't a joke.

It will need ballistic asymmetrical load lifting spheres to achieve orbit, it would help if this package was recoverable and able to land in a careful touch and go routine akin to early stage Space X maneuverability.

The Simpsons didn't do it, but South Park sure as shit did.
