Gonna be great
Check out the official trailer for The Art of Rap. If this doesn't put you in a good mood, I really don't know what will.
Also, something to keep the mood going after, Public Enemy's Harder Than You Think.

Finishing a Final Paper!
So writing the actual paper is the opposite of happy. But when it's done-- wow! The longer it was, the happier I am!
Exam week is also a special time of year when every university student can suddenly relate to every other university student. Conversations that would normally never happen suddenly do. Resource sharing becomes a nice courtesy. Spreading a citation site is equivalent to spreading the love.
There is some grand lesson to be had here, about stress and unhappiness and how those emotions open the way for more pleasant feelings of community...
But mostly I am just so glad to have finished the paper.
And now i can move on to more entertaining pursuits ;)
Cheers!

Spring Cleaning my Computer
Yesterday I was browsing around my laptop and realized I had about 10GB of space left. I decided it was time to clean up my computer. Goodbye massive, seldom-used files, hello defragging!
Defragmenting makes me very happy. Oddly, I had not defragmented my poor laptop for a whole year! It was such a mess. I wish i had taken a screen shot to show you just how much of a mess it was. There were random files everywhere! There was empty space near the front of the drive! It was all madness.
But now it is better:
Yes i could have done a better job of it. But i just wanted to start right away.
*I used the free defrag program from mydefrag.com (J.C. Kessels)*
Hooray Happiness! Spring cleaning a computer is easier than spring cleaning a house, too.

Happy Food
There is a special place in my heart for happy carbs.
But no place as special as that part of my heart reserved for Mulan's breakfast porridge!
*Please note that I did not take either of these photos, but rather pulled them off the following blogs:

http://geminidragonfly.blogspot.com/2010/11/disney-princess-survey.html
And if you are into happiness, I'm thinking these blogs might be worth looking into!
Cheers to you and many happy days ahead!

Remembering Friends
My dear friend died shortly after summer. As a result, I have been away from the happiness blog for a while.
However, at times I recall that a great sadness does not keep happiness at bay.
I think that is all I will say on the matter for now, except:
To my dear friend: wherever you may be, there i am also.
