It occurred to me yesterday that for the most part I only write here when I'm in a dark and foul mood, but that isn't what I am all the time, either.  (Hence, large gaps in the blog.)  It's not necessarily what I am even most of the time, though pretty much at any time I could be in a dark and foul mood.  In the full 360 degrees of my life I am being very sincerely focused on being less unhappy.  For a lot of legitimate reasons.  But I guess this demonstrates that I tend to write expressively only out of a sense of torment and anguish (wow, how unique and unusual is that, ha ha) and not out of any of the other myriad emotions I experience.  Particularly enjoyment, which happens more often than I'd ever write about.

What is there to say about being in a good mood?  Everybody is in a good mood.  There's nothing newsworthy about being chipper, but there's plenty to say about the causes of torment.

I think the whole "get over it" mentality is borne out of whatever ugly moment brought that person to the point of giving up and giving in.  It's their encouragement that, like them, you too should get over it, shut off your emotions, and buy into whatever dirty juice they are suckling from The Great Teat.

Summer quarter looks to be pretty awesome.  It's going to keep me very busy though.
