1. Seeing to it that your enemies are more unhappy than yourself.

2. Being unhappy but rich.

3. A quick and painless death.

Doing fireworks on the 4th and not lose a finger, or get a huge fine for violating a city ordinance. I love it when a plan comes together. And don’t neglect to have a brew or two. Or three if Mamma Bear isn’t sitting two inches away from you : )

Guess a close runner up would be having a great wife, but also one who puts a damper on your partying at times. No pals around (ran them all off years ago) a limit on how much you can imbibe, and getting on to you if you get potty mouth. Have to take the great with the not so much, I guess. Have a happy and safe holiday peeps.

Running into an old school male friend who always went after pretty girls and shunned others.

At my now ex husbands company part met him and he was a Partner in the Firm so he made it to

be rich however he also had married the most unlikely female who didn’t look after herself

well and looked unmatched throughout their marriage. oh yes she was his Bosses daughter,

He is stuck in a loveless unhappy marriage has three kids and more counting and his wife’s

best job was as a waitress. and has no ambitions in life.

That’s what happens sometimes when one is a player and puts money before everything

else to get ahead..in the end he is miserable and if they divorce he might kiss his career goodbye too.

Haven’t heard from or about him for a long time.

I keep thinking that I will one day see his obituary in the newspaper.

Having the biggest nest egg in the stock market.
Achieving financial critical mass.
Paying off a beautiful home.
Having no debt.
Driving an award winning classic car on a beautiful summer day.
Beautiful intelligent soulmate wife.
No kids. HA!

Just not giving a fuck. Or – If fucks are given, making sure they’re the best fucks you’ve got. That works for me.

Mostly.

But if fucking isn’t an option try Zen. Learn to emrace joy and sorrow equally, and let both come and go freely without attachment. Your life will become full and you will gain in wisdom.

The other cool thing is that some people will think you’re fucking like crazy. And they’ll be jealous. Just smile.

Happiness is sexy.

Better than living a happy life is just not having thoughts of revenge anymore because you are over it.
