Happiness: 5 minutes or Less

It's 9pm and I haven't smoked a cigarette all day. Already, I can feel my mood improving. I have to wonder how much of my moodiness over the past week or so was miscarriage related and how much of it was cigarette related.

Any way, since it's been a tough journey so far and it's only just begun, I thought I'd share some of my favorite videos for when I need a good pick-me-up. After all, without cigarettes, something has to fill the void. Hope these bring a smile to your face...

#1: Bruno Mar's "Lazy Day"
I'm not a fan of most current popular music, but this is just...perfect. Try watching this without smiling. Just try.

#2: "Knife or Banana" by Onision
I first discovered this one on Tosh.0, but it's total bizarre lack of anything normal, linear, or tangible makes it perfectly fashioned to brighten (or at least confuse) a bad day.

#3: Mashups/Autotunes
I'm really a sucker for any good mashup or autotune, but these are three of my favorites. Proof that anything can be music? Yes. Proof that even screwed up things can be entertaining/funny? Also true. Proof that while the rest of the world might forget about a certain meme, I latch on to a couple and hold on? Yes, sir.

#4: Geico's Squealing Pig
Some people have told me they find these commercials to be a little annoying, but I think they're hilarious. Can't beat the original though.

If none of these were able to make your day even a little brighter, then I got nothing for ya! Hope this evening finds you well. It finds me hopeful, somewhat productive, and ready to get things moving.
