MollyGoLightly so easy to find. come out of your corners and revel in it. 000323 ... girl is fleeting 000326 ... frippy The more you try to dissect and understand it, the less your chances of feeling it. 000505 ... MollyGoLightly that particular firecracker was called Happiness. it came in a pink package. it cost twenty-five cents. we spent forty dollars on fire crackers. we set Happiness off at 2 a.m. Happiness shrieked something awful and sparked into the tree. i covered my ears. i heard a neighbor's door slam. we'll be getting a few phone calls in the morning, no doubt. 000703 ... silvre at times when it's far away, happiness seems incomprehensible. it almost seems unreal. but when you have it, there's nothing else in the world (a little like love). i guess it's a positive feeling of a carefree nature. a lot of positive vibes surround you and a lightness is within you. everything's good. you laugh and enjoy the echo when it comes back, delighting in that more than laughing itself, which makes you laugh even harder. nothing can really get you down and you have an optimism in all respects. basically, it's a childish nature. everything's good, everything will work out, and there is no evil. it's an innocence, but as you get older you have to choose that innocence to be happy. basically reject the worries and the hardness of life and choose to let your laugh vibrate through every bone in your body and laugh to feel the tickling sensation. do i sound childish? it's cuz i'm happy. i'm the happiest i've ever been. honestly. 000709 ... For sure! I'm happy cuz I made it through my winamp playlist finally! It was a goal and I stuck to it! Wooyeah! 000713 ... disorientated Is so DAMN fleeting. 000722 ... Grammar Police happiness is knowing that there is no such word as "disorientated." Disoriented, yes... "disorientated," no. Grammar police. 000722 ... Barrett What most had as a child, and are lucky for just a taste of as adults. 000728 ... erin ....i saw the movie happiness...and was depressed for days. i think its main goal is to tear at your faith in humanity, and it's pretty successful. i kept thinking that it would get less upsetting and disturbing, but it just didn't. a sample scene: a father and a son (8-yr old) sit crying while they discuss the father's homosexual pedophilic tendencies. son: what did you do to those boys? father: i fondled them and then i fucked them. [pause] son: dad, would you ever fuck me? father: no [long pause] father: but i'd jerk off. ok, that was the climax (pun intended) of the movie. disturbing, eh? it's actually worse when you see the whole thing. i highly advise against it. if you're in a bad mood, it'll make you depressed. if you're in a good mood, it'll knock you out of happiness for days. 000728 ... hoodrat I used to think that happiness was something you looked for, something that was out there in open space hiding. All you had to do was find it, then everything would be perfect. This had been my thought since I was a child. Now that I'm older I've come to the conclusion that happiness can't be found. You already have it. It's inside, waiting for you to see it again. Happiness is the memory of all experiences, trying new things, a good tequila buzz, and your first consented sexual experience. Happiness is shooting a rubber band at my boss's head while he is on the phone with a client and watching "the graduate" with your brother for the first time,. Happiness is getting your heart broken and realizing that you still can love. This is one of those fleeting moments. You know the answer, but all is forgotten by the next day. I am happy. I am alive. I have family and friends. I have a good job. I have this moment all to myself 001126 ... miniver I have a pin from my younger brother that I keep on the little pocket-flap of my bag. It is Gismo, from The Gremlins, and he is holding a big red heart that says "I Love You" in white letters. 001126 ... the repeater silentbob- everybody everywhere i have this fetus in my hands i found it in a toilet stall why it was in the mens room, i dont know but would everybody everywhere please stop screaming? 001126 ... Barrett is a warm gun bang bang shoot shoot 001126 ... the repeater Rhin- I remember the screams of the refugees, fleeing the eruption of Mount Pinatubo. They stumbled off the ships, and the cargo planes, in masses, on our tiny island. Some were silent. Others screamed uncontrollably. All of them were in shock, and more than I wanted to count, carried dead infants, or their dead pets in their arms. Some never made it to the island alive. The one's who did make it, were alive, but only physically. They would mumble bits and pieces of their ordeal, as they seemed to perpetually re-live their ordeal, over and over. The blank looks on their faces, as they mentioned walking by buildings, and seeing the buildings collapse, from the weight of the soot, and in the process crushing the people, seeking shelter, under it's formerly solid structure. They spoke of stepping over bodies, not knowing if they were alive or not, but afraid to stop and check. Some of the women screamed for their missing children. Some of the children would scream for their missing parents. For days.....I would drive to the flightline, pick up a few, bring them home, feed and bathe them (which was no easy task. the ash crept into every imaginable body part. it was unreal). I hugged them, begged them to eat more, and held them while they screamed. Then I would return my charges, back to the flightline, for departure to the U.S. mainland, while picking up more to bring home. This went on for days, and nights. I have never felt so helpless, or at a loss for words. What do you say to someone, who has just received the wrath of a natural disaster, of this proportion? I just screamed with them. It took a little time, before the ashened air, reached our island, but when it did, this display, made our normally beautiful South Pacific sunsets seem to pale in comparison. They were absolutely breath-taking. Isn't it ironic, how some things in life, can be so beautiful, and at the same time, so ugly? 001126 ... cazzi i am going to be happy, someday, oneday soon, i can feel it, it will be fine, everything is going to be alright, life is a blast, it's moving really fast... 001227 ... jaypeg when i'am happy, my mind drags me kicking and screaming towards sadness, because i feel i'am happy at the expense of someone else. i've spent a week being happy, like i'am in love, but i'am not, am i? A whole week. On my horizon i can see dark clouds, please no, not again. This time run, as fast as you can, away from the pain inside you. These humble words ease the strain on my mind, till next time. 010108 ... hoodrat is the day i when i remove my foot from this hole (kentucky) that i haphazardly stepped into 010117 ... danielle is this the natural state of being? im so sure its not... now a days we have to struggle to find happiness... it used to be struggling to find sadness.. when we were innocent... ...happy... 010123 ... nomad reaching happiness is not some fucking white circle that comes with a glass of rust water 010131 ... *Matthew* isn't a fish you can catch 010131 ... kinkazoid happiness is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth. 010612 ... kx21 Real happiness / False happiness Spiritual happiness / Material happiness Happiness_is... 010720 ... translucent lying next to you, knowing how much I love you, wanting this moment to never stop, having you in my arms 010909 ...

ClairE I am jealous of myself. Damn. 011212 ... some girl kittens. you cant see a kitten and not be happy. 020224 ... Mr. Wonderfully Fabulous Happiness is: Waking up to the smell of last nights sex. You can smell the alcohol, and the cigarette smoke thats become part of your clothes, and that strong odour, the strong fishy smell mixed with stench of semen. Thats happiness. And the feeling of pride, contentment, peace. I pulled. I pulled the young, shy, blonde boy in the corner, with the tight white shirt, and the strong, mature, experienced man by the bar, and the overweight, wealthy, business man in the toilet, and the hot, healthy, P.E teacher with the small breasts, and the dark haired slut in the dress with the zip along the side. As all five of them sleep, i lie there, tired from last nights sweaty, passionate, crazy sex. I'm HAPPY. Third time that month i had such an orgy. I will not feel happiness , until the forth comes along. Now for the sadness of the wait for next weekend. 020310 ... blown cherry Thats some month you had there Mr. Wonderfully Fabulous. Damn.
