I rarely drink.   I probably drink as much in one year as most people drink in one evening, but tonight is one of those nights, I'm in the process of getting plastered.

What is the point to life?     Why do we bother?    I try so hard at everything and never gain any traction.   All of the pain, the misery, everything would be worth it if I could just get through to someone once in a while.   Why is that soooooo difficult.   If someone would just say "I get it" once in a while, I would know that all of the effort is worth it.

It's not worth wasting your life being depressed and miserable.   Shit happens to us all!   Get over it and find something fun, find something your passion, find what makes you come alive--even if you don't get rich doing it, so what.    When I was a kid I used to love this story about this guy who owned a toy shop.    He worked day and night.   He had a sign in his window "Hans Vrill, never worked and never will."   The people in the villiage said to him--but Hans, you are the hardest working man in town, how can you say that you never work?   He replied that he loved what he did so much that it didn't feel like work.    Find your passion, find what makes you come alive, find what you love so much that it doesn't feel like work.

Anyway you slice or dice it, making the very most of your life is always the right thing to do.   Get rid of the things that stand in your way--stop feeling sorry for yourself, take responsibility for your actions, live, love, laugh while you can.    Stop living in misery!   How, you ask?    Make small changes.   Start making yourself think positive thoughts instead of negative ones.   Practice every day.

People, what do you really gain by going through life so miserable?   JUST STOP ALREADY!!!    How is that so difficult?     What, you say you don't deserve happiness?  Why not?   If you've done bad things, stop doing them, atone for your mistakes and then just put them behind you!    Why is that so hard?

I refuse to accept that anyone can't be happy.   If people would take more responsibility for themselves and their own happiness, the world would be a much better place!   Carrying around all of that misery takes so much energy--ALL of that energy is totally wasted.    Practice at it, just learn how to let go of the misery, make yourself get rid of the misery--you will have SO much more energy to do all of the fun stuff you really want to do!   Get off your butt and start doing it right now--what are you waiting for?

That's my drunken rant and I'm sticking to it!!!!!
