I’m a happy kinda guy. I think a lot of this comes from generally being happy with what I have, not lusting after what I don’t. I think this explains my stance on things like plastic surgery and suicide bombings.

Around a month ago I blew out my back. I was well on my way to recovery – something you measure differently when you’re unable to put on your own socks – when I tweaked it and I’m now pretty much back to square one. So there I was, teetering on my rickety legs reaching down to the second shelf for a yogurt in one of those big multipacks. I was hoping for a strawberry as my hand touched a pack. I realized it didn’t matter. I was going to get what I got and the pain was not worth going back for a replacement. Mmnnn tasty yogurt.

I suppose today I'm playing the optimist. I was playing with Google Trends this morning and noticed something I found promising. There are no brilliant insights I have to contribute, I'll let this graph representing the popularity of search terms related to "oil prices" and "electric car" speak for itself:
