This is going to be pretty random, but it actually has some meaning behind it. If you need me to explain it later I'll be happy to go through what I was thinking with this.


Happiness should come in an aerosol can…

…Kind of like Easy Cheese. For that matter anything good should be easy to obtain at will or come in an aerosol can. Then there would be colloquial phrases like “I’m gonna go get me some Happy” without referring to drugs of any sort. I mean really, is it possible to overdose on Easy Cheese, much less “Happy”? I think not.

Motivation and creativity should also be in an easy to obtain form perhaps a breakfast cereal? Yes, that’ll start one’s day off nicely.

Sadness and pain can’t be avoided. This explains the infamous can of “Whup-Ass”. One need not have a can opener to unleash its wrath. It’s so simple even your everyday homogenized-by-society imbecile can use it. That goes to say it is very user friendly and guarantees instant gratification. Isn’t that what everyone wants? One needs only to throw said ‘can’ at another to witness their immediate downfall.

Those of us who are smart get up, dust ourselves off, grab some “Happy”, and get on with our lives.

When it comes to Reality, supply is far in excess of demand. I’m sure it’s stored somewhere in a dark warehouse that no one ever sets foot in. It’s in boxes too, heavy ones. Stacked from floor to ceiling. Costly as it is, do you dare walk into that warehouse and risk one of those boxes of reality to come crashing down on you? I have, and let me tell you it’s really hard “getting a grip on reality”. Especially in those big heavy boxes. God forbid you drop it on your toe. Everything has its consequences.

Alas, this is all wonderful fantasy. When you think about it, if all this were true would anything really change? My answer is “No”. Happiness can always be taken away. Stolen by hungry, undeserving abject beasts, or because the cost of aerosol happy increases. Damn that inflation. There will always be those who lack in motivation and creativity. Maybe it’s because they are lactose intolerant, or just don’t eat breakfast. There will always be people that hurt others to make themselves feel better, probably because happiness isn’t really so easy to obtain. As for reality, it will always be something people will deny when they can use it most. Too many are afraid to stand up and “face reality”. I myself am one of them. The truth is reality can ground us so to speak and give us some stronghold when we are lost.

Yeah to bad happiness can't be something easy to obtain like a can of easy cheese. Good insight... I really liked the entry. (I just came across your entry while searching for people who like singing).

i think you're on to something.

canned happiness for bad times, canned euphoria for dull times, and canned tranquility for tough times. i believe your canning industry (effectively labeled 'Your Mind Can!, inc.') should also start a seperate line to can information for a pop quiz. also, need you pull burn some midnight oil, canned sleep could always be useful.

though this might wreak havoc on the environment, with any luck, you won't need to use this stuff that much...

...lest you open a can of worms...
