Day 10: 30 Days of Happiness

I'm up to date and I've got my shit together! I needed to get out of the house today. It was just one of those days when I was in one of my moods. All my issues with writing were piling up and I needed to tell my computer screen to go fuck itself for a while. I wasn't sure what to do, Barnes and Noble is always my default and that's getting corny. I actually drove aimlessly for while around my town. Its actually a pretty small town and I was in the tiny historic district just cruising around listening to Jazz. I never realized how Americana-ish this little community was. So I wanted to make the day into an artist date, but when I consulted the book of artist dates the challenge I was faced with was to find a pretty rock. And surprisingly enough finding a pretty rock was exceedingly difficult. So I decided to put searching for a rock on hold for another day. I went out to the tropical fish store since that's what Id been putting off. The guy at the fish store was incredibly friendly and kept telling me even if I just came to browse I'd been leaving with a fish. He said he feels like a crack dealer sometimes with how excited some people actually get over fish. Looking at all the fish brought back memories...not of me actually owning fish...just looking at fish. So I guess I used to really like fish and now...I like them again. I don't know where this is going.

Anyway fuck those fish. The only thing I had to do to get out of a funk was simple. I drove around, went into some random ass fish store and listened to some different music. If you're in a pissy mood its not hard to change up your circumstances just to shake things up. I recommend listening to Jazz.

Tasks
Workout: My workouts back at the gym are something I value even more after doing the daily workout. Even if my trainer was trying to tell me how he didn't like the Beatles and gave me shit for not liking Keith Urban.

Meditation: I like to start thinking of mediation as trying to find the same amount of rest you would while taking a cat nap only doing it while wide awake. That was today's experience. I had the usual struggles but there was a level of relaxation I wasn't used to.

Three Memories from yesterday: 1) My experience working on the lighting for the film, minor as it was, reminded me of how many details need to be taken into account when making a film and these aren't hindrances, they're opportunities. There's so many options when it comes to being artistic. 2) I learned that one of my friends I made from work was looking forward to seeing me do stand up comedy. I know its not much but finally doing what I've always wanted hasn't been easy. People taking even the slightest interest is always nice. 3) Okay fine, I ate a bunch of Pizza Huts thin crusted Pizza...its shitty but delicious and I felt guilty
