On Happiness

Around the world, millions–and perhaps more likely, billions–of people are unhappy. Curiously, this appears to be no less true in the United States of America, which, for all its recent travails still remains a relative land of plenty when compared to to the standard of living “enjoyed” by many of our fellow humans. It is strange that this should be so, not simply because of America’s aforementioned affluence, but because no other culture in history has invested so much of its time, energy and resources in an as-yet fruitless quest for contentment.

There exist a great many theories to explain the first-world despair experienced by so many Americans, but the true causes are likely myriad. The effects  of the nation’s increasingly frenetic rainbow-chase in search of fulfillment have been somewhat more tangible.

As a consequence of this happiness deficit, two distinct, but inextricably-linked notions have become prevalent in the…

…About A Good Time Somebody’s Havin’…

…They Don’t Know…

…They Just Don’t Know The Half About It…

…I’m Glad There’s So Much To It…

…What They’re Sayin’…

…They Don’t Know What We’re Knowin’…

…Never Gonna Catch-Up…

“WELL, WELL“

by BETH HART and JOE BONAMASSA

…Is An Exceptional Little Tune That Always Has The Power To Get Me Up And Movin’.

It’s Got An Infectious Beat/Pace/Rhythm That Simple Screams…

"GET UP AND DO SOMETHING, SHEESH MAN, SHEESH!!"

And I Do Just That.

I Get Motivated.

I Get Up.

I Get It Crankin’.

I Do My Best To Function Properly.

I’ve Already Decided To Make This Song, Yet Again, The First Song Of The Day When I Head-Out On My Walk.

I’m Waitin’ On The Walkin’, At The Moment.

It’s A Touch Brisk Outside…

…And There’s A Fairly Strong Breeze.

So I’m Gonna Chill ‘Till About 10AM Before Givin’ The Walkin’ A Goin’.

😀

“WELL, WELL“

…Is A Finely Crafted Song…

…And It Ranks As My Favorite Track From Either…

BETH HART

…Or…

JOE BONAMASSA

Period.

Granted, They’ve Both Had A-MA-ZING Solo Careers…

…But This Collaboration Album Is Totally The Bee’s Knees, My Peeps.

I Enjoy It Highly…

…And I Think You, Also, Would Enjoy The Album…

“DON’T EXPLAIN“

…A Heaping Bundle.

Come On, Kiddies.

Give It The Ole College Try, Okie Dokie?!

COOLIO!!!

I Just KNEW You’d All See It My Way!

That’s Likely Why You Continue To Grace Me With Your Presence And Friendship.

I’ve Got Yer Back, Kids…

…And I’ve Got My Finger On The Pulse Of What’s Up.

This Album…

“DON’T EXPLAIN“

…And More So This Song…

“WELL, WELL“

…Are Definitely Made To Get That Pulse Racing…

…The Blood Pumping…

…The Toe Tapping…

…Etc…

…Etc…

…And So On And So Forth.

Like I Said…

…Give It A Go, Please.

THEN…

…Report Back To Me And Let Me Know What You Think.

Chances Are…

…Your Favorite Songs Will Be…

“WELL, WELL“

…And The Second Fave Will Likely Be…

“I’D RATHER GO BLIND“

…Which Is My Other Favorite Song On Said Album.

In Fact…

“I’D RATHER GO BLIND“

…Is Honestly One Of The Most Beautifully Amazing Songs You’re Likely Ever To Hear…

…And It’s THE BEST Song On The Album.

It’s SOULFUL.

PERIOD.

It’s Just Not A Walkin’ Song.

It’s More Of A…

"Wow, I Feel Like I Need A Stiff-Drink With This Song."

Wonderful.

Simply Wonderful.

BUT…

“WELL, WELL“

…Is Still My Favorite…

…AND…

…It’s The MOST Fun.

😀

Enjoy Your Day, My Peeps.

I’m Trying My Damnedest To Do That Very Thing.

A Nice Walk Shortly And I’ll Be Right As Rain, I Reckon.

At Least, I Hope So.

Damn These Weather Changes!

Hey Hey, Kids.

Well…

…Once Again, I Did Get A Good’ish Night’s Sleep.

WOOT.

I Got My 4-Hours…

…So That’s Not Great, But It Is Highly Acceptable.

BUT…

…Good God Do I Have A Headache, This Morning.

I’m Blaming It On The Weather.

Every Time There’s A Major Shift In Weather Patterns…

…Yeah…

…Bradley Gets A Brain-Buster.

😦

So…

…I’m Just Letting Y’all Know Ahead Of Time…

…If I’m A Bit More Quiet Today, Bloggin’ Wise…

…You’ll Know Why.

I Turn Into A Real Bitch When My Head Hurts Like This.

And I’m Not Going To Allow Myself To Make It All Worse, Ya Know?!

So…

…At The Moment…

…I’m Sitting Here…

…Talkin’ To Y’all…

…Softly Listening To Some Music.

Just Being Calm.

Attempting To Allow The Music To Sooth Me.

I Suppose It Would Be More Soothing Had I Set-Up A Playlist.

But NO, I Didn’t.

So What Kind Of Mix Has Played Thus Far, You Ask?!

Well…

…The Player Played…

“CRYING“

by ROY ORBISON

(with special guest vocalist K.D. Lang)

…Which Is A Perfect Little Song For How I’m Feeling.

So You Can Imagine My Shock When The Next Song Was…

“GETTIN’ JIGGY WIT IT“

by WILL SMITH

!!!

(hahahahaha)

No Foolies, My Peeps.

ROY And K.D.

…Followed By…

WILL SMITH

😀

Now Tell Me That Wouldn’t Make You Go…

“WTF?!?!“

…’Cause That’s Sure What It Did To Me.

I’ve Got To Remember To Make A Playlist Next Time.

That Would Be A Necessity, I Do Believe.

Wouldn’t You?!?

SURE YOU WOULD!!!

😉

Alright, Kiddies.

I Do Have Some Rather Exceptional Quotes To Post For Y’all Today…

…So That Should Keep Me Busy Enough…

…Mainly Because I’ve Already Done The Hard Part Of Finding And Selecting Them, Their Photos, And Their Information.

The Rest Is Easy-Peasy-Pie, Fo SHO!

So We’ll Just Use This Hump-Day To Chill-Out And Regroup.

Hopefully My Aspirin And Ibuprofen Combo Will Be Kicking-In Very Soon, And I’ll Be Able To Get A Touch Of Relief From The Clutches Of This Damned Headache.

Y’all Please PLEASE Take Care…

…Try To Be Good…

…See Me Soon…

…And…

…Talk To Me Sooner.

In The Words Of My Best-Friend…

“Take It Easy And, If It’s Easy, Take It Again!“

😉
