"Ask yourself whether you are happy and you cease to be so." - John Stuart Mill

���� I see what Mr. Mill is saying in that quote, but I don't necessarily agree with the statement.� I think that he is saying that when you stop being happy to wonder if you are....then you are putting a pause on your happiness.�� Everyone now and again needs to take a look at themselves and evaluate....If no one ever evaluated themselves, we would always be "leaping before we jump."� Another way I could interpret this quote.....maybe he is saying that if you get caught up in evaluating yourself, then you can never move forward.�� I sometimes wonder if I have done this....probably so.� If you are always trying to fix and concentrate on your problems, it probably is harder to focus on the happiness in your life.� I think that when negative thoughts cloud your mind, it is like trying to run on fly paper.� Your stuck on the negative...and like a fly if you wiggle around too much on the fly paper (negativity) then it will lead to your demise.�� These are my morning thoughts for the day...Thanks random quote!

    CSAULS3378's Interests:

    About Me: I'm laid back and like to have fun..anything other than that is probably stressful and a waste of my time. I am easygoing...I can be serious if I have to be though..I like heavy metal music and sports...especially football. I'm just on here to catch up with old friends and meet new ones...as well as pass time when I'm bored..I hate sour cream, watermelon, coconut, chocolate-mint and cucumbers...everything else as far as food goes is fair game.. I am a homeowner....and as far as the ladies go, I am a single man looking for something solid....I can hold a job and pay my bills...I am honest and straight-forward ...no kids or ex-wives..no back acne or black teeth...and oh yeah, i keep my rat-tail trimmed. I hate stupid, unnecessary drama and anyone who brings it along..take that shit somewhere else please. I'm just looking for my "partner in crime." I am loyal to my brotherhood. I will ride into the last battle with them. In the meantime I'm eatin cornbread and bein' cool.

    Interests: Football, Heavy Metal/Rock N'Roll Music, Loyalty, 80s Nostalgia, a cold pillow at night, A shot of Bourbon on the Rocks, Games, Ancient Egypt, Medieval Times, Science-Fiction, the outdoors and hanging with quality people who aren't shady.

    Favorite Music: The Metal mostly, but I appreciate any good music. I can either listen to Pantera or Classical Music.....lots of variety but substance is the key!

    Favorite Movies: Call me a nerd, but I love Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. I also like the Back to the Future Series, Braveheart, Spaceballs, Gladiator, Pet Semetary, Heat, The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, Red Dragon, Terminator 1-4, Stargate, Being John Malcovich, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Army of Darkness, Pulp Fiction, Full Metal Jacket, and many more.....

    Favorite Television: Law and Order SVU, Legend of the Seeker, Discovery Channel, Sportcenter, NFL network, My Name is Earl and the Office, WWE, Headbangers Ball, King of Queens, Cosby Show, Fresh Prince, Court TV, The Dead Zone, Quantum Leap, Family Guy, South Park.

    Favorite Books: Most of my reading is in Magazines or on the internet, therefore I do not read as much as I did in my youth. ...usually science-fiction books or something in the fantasy genre will hold my attention. Horror books are good too.
