Happiness

Well, today I am going to try and embark on what I hope should become Part 1 of a 5 part series. I say attempt for the obvious reason as anytime I say I am going to do something with this blog it takes upon a mind of its own and does whatever the hell it wants to regardless of my good intentions. This is simply to present a nice little introduction to what I am going to try and attempt to create. So let us begin.

The purpose of this 5 part series is to in certain terms discuss the meaning of life and in simpler terms the path to happiness. I have talked about this a lot lately as well as thought too much about it as well. So it is time to expound on it a little. I will do from the a couple of frameworks. The first being simply from my own goals, hopes, and dreams for my own life. So again, simply stated I will talking unsuprisingly about me. This is will be attempt at the outline I have briefly mentioned in passing of what I want from my life.

The second framework is a simple equation into which I can catagorize things and easily discuss specific issues of this life and how my goals to relate to each. The equation can be found on Scott Adams blog (Dilbert Creator see my favorite links or the previous blog for the link). The equation is simply this: Happiness= Health + Money + Social Life + Meaning. I choose this framework largely from freak conicidence I stumbled across it yesterday and that the list I composed of the things I wanted from life fit neatly into the equation. So each part of the equation gives me a nice little division to discuss in some detail specific issuses that are currently on my mind.

Now, I would be remiss to leave this blog without mention of why I am attempting this in the first place. Frankly, I have no idea. A detailed outline of my life and hopeful future doesn't necessarily make for the most entertaining blog material. So really it should be something best left to myself and a horrible reason to try and create a mini-series. But, for reasons unbeknowest to even me I feel like something important may come out of it. Probably not for any of ya'll. More likely for me. But, hey maybe you can dig something out of the chaos that is about to insue. And just as a warning. I have no notes going into this thing. This is coming straight from the gut and a vague idea of what I think it is I want from this life.

So there you go. That is the plan. Now just sit back relax and see if the blog cooperates with the crazy ride that is about to take place. So until tommorow. Night.

P.S. - I said something about proofreading at one time. But, Haley's comment on the previous blog motivated me and I'm fucking tired as it is. Glean your main points and disregard any irrational statements. Maybe this weekend I'll proofread.
