Happiness is a Warm Gun ... or a Chocolate Fondue

It’s hard to find really happy people in the world.
There are the fakers. People who know they aren’t happy but want you to think they are, so they go out of their way to project happiness through monetary acquisitions or body language. These are the people you see in places like Denny’s, seedy truck stops in the middle of the night. They’re the ones in shitty clothes checking out other people’s shitty clothes and making sure everyone knows they’re on a road trip, or their car broke down. They have a reason to be here, like this, at this hour – but regardless – they’re flipping happy about it.
It’s BS. They’re just as annoyed as everyone else and anyone else would be.

Then there are the “unfazed ones”.
Those people who just don’t care. Doesn’t matter what happens “no sweat man” and they move on as though nothing happened.
“Mom died”
“no problem”“I busted your car”
“not a thing, I have seven others”
“dude, I slept with your women”
“no problem, I wear rubbers”
These guys are scary for an altogether different reason than the fakers – because while the fakers will ultimately break down and freak the fuck out, “unfazed ones”, unlike the fakers who end up face up in a bathtub, both wrists bleeding, end up on the top of a tower somewhere with a shot gun and two or twenty rounds of ammo. That’s right. These are the guys with the trench coats and the bombs.
“no problem” is code for “I’m going to get you, just not today”

Then there are the people who are on drugs
These are the people you want to know
These people know they’re aren’t happy and have taken steps to improve their lot, along with everyone else’s. Whatever they’re on – drugs, alcohol, chocolate, French fries – smile, take a hit, and give them some space. these are the people who won’t rule the world, but they won’t ruin or rule your life either.

Happiness is transient.
It is an arbitrary state of mind that ebbs and flows with the world and people that surround you … spending the day with friends, sunshine, and a chocolate fondue is always a good way to stretch the happiness bubble a little bigger, make it last a little longer.

Good luck with yours.
