I'm on the Pursuit of Happyness

Are happiness and desire mutually exclusive?

Let's say that happiness (as a state of mind) represents your satisfaction with your current situation. If you're not getting what you want, your desire is greater, and you're not happy about it. But then once you get exactly what you want (or more), then you're perfectly happy, and there's nothing more that you desire.

So if you're an ambitious or demanding person, there's obviously a lot of things that you want, out of life and from yourself. Does that make you doomed to dissatisfaction? Why is it so hard to, as the saying goes, have your cake and eat it too?

Dating should not involve detective work.

Great time Saturday night! After a marathon study sesh at Mozarts (first time there!), I ran around grabbing stuff for my costume, found out we lost to Baylor (what the hell? who loses to Baylor?? We do, apparently), and went party hopping with Dani.

Sunday was super unproductive. Woke up at 10:30, tried (unsuccessfully) for an hour to install the new flush mounts on my bike, and ended up studying with Kathleen at Starbucks (also unsuccessfully - mostly). Crashed at home for an hour and a half, study failed at McCombs, and babysat for the rest of the night. The folks I baby-sat for didn't even bother showing up until an hour after when they said they would. At least their cats were nice. I didn't get any work done there either... I might as well have been refreshing Facebook repeatedly for 6 hours.

Doing 100 down Mopac in the dead of night is always fun.
