I can say pretty comfortably that I\u2019ve been in fairly high spirits lately, in spite of the fact that my brog is still down, and the out-of-sight, out-of-mind game is playing wicked tricks on me and sapping my overall compulsion to write for hobby like I\u2019d been doing fairly consistently for well over a decade.\u00a0 But really, things are going well, and I\u2019d venture to even say that I\u2019m quite happy with the way things have been overall.<\/span><\/p>\n A large part of it has to do with the fact that simply put, ignoring just about everything that\u2019s going on in my small little world that it popularly called our social media circles.\u00a0 I don\u2019t really know, or care to know about the details of this thing called GamerGate that a lot of people I know, as well as the geeky-techy sites\/blogs I read are all up in arms over.\u00a0 I don\u2019t care about what people think about Renee Zellweger getting a boatload of plastic surgery done.\u00a0 I don\u2019t care about the massive explosion of comic book movies and the nerd rage they incite by so-called purists and those who love to compare films to printed media.\u00a0 And I frankly don\u2019t care about anything else that I see people incessantly debate and clearly let themselves get emotionally involved in with other volatile, emotionally involved people.<\/span><\/p>\n And it makes me happy that I simply don\u2019t give a shit about any of it.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n That\u2019s kind of the ironic thing about it too, it\u2019s like without knowing of the existence of these things would make the world boring and mundane, but the fact that I\u2019m innately aware that there are topics out there that are getting people up in arms, miserable, and curmudgeon, that it makes me happy to know that I\u2019m exercising my right to simply ignore them.\u00a0 Funny how things work out like that.<\/span><\/p>\n On a daily basis, my life has been fairly nondescript.\u00a0 I go to work, hit the gym, come home, eat something, and play\u00a0League of Legends<\/em>, before going to bed too late.\u00a0 Occasionally I indulge in television shows like the new seasons of\u00a0The Walking Dead<\/em>\u00a0(excellent),\u00a0American Horror Story: Freak Show<\/em>\u00a0(also excellent), wrestling and TLC train wrecks like\u00a090 Day Fiance<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Extreme Cheapskates<\/em>\u00a0(don\u2019t judge me).\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t sound like the most exhilarating life on the planet, but doing such things on a regular basis, while acknowledging the existence of drama while deftly maneuvering around it, puts me in a good mood.<\/span><\/p>\n Rule #32: Enjoy the little things.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Truer words have never been spoken.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I can say pretty comfortably that I\u2019ve been in fairly high spirits lately, in spite of the fact that my brog is still down, and the out-of-sight, out-of-mind game is playing wicked tricks on me and sapping my overall compulsion to write for hobby like I\u2019d been doing fairly consistently for well over a decade.\u00a0 … Continue reading Happiness is ambivalence<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[15],"class_list":["post-39985","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-og"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=39985"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39985\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39987,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39985\/revisions\/39987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=39985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=39985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=39985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
