More self-control in the future, please. We can't have unrestrained happiness on Lit.

I agree. There ought to be more restained happiness.

If any of you are aware of a way to restrain happiness, I sure could've used that knowledge when I was a kid. I can't tell you how many times I got my arm pinched at formal occasions for having an unrestrained burst of happiness.

Weddings, funerals, church, elders speaking...you name it, I could find something humorous about it. My grandpa once got so animated in his telling of an old war tale that his teeth shot straight out of his mouth. Restraining the happiness I experienced in that moment would've been a good idea. But it was well beyond my eight year old powers at the time and I got in serious trouble later.

Any and all suggestions are welcome. I still have this problem today and am getting much too old to be making an ass of myself this way.

E, I'm very sorry to say that I think unrestraint is integral to happiness or joy, and so our memory becomes a treasure. I've had great happiness thoughout my life, but only moments, and more often later came to realize some were illusory. Still, the memory of joy, whether real or not, is wonderful, and keeps me loving life. I wish you future joy.

You'll be happy to know that I just had a tiny burst of happiness when I saw your legs, and taking your advice, did not bother to restrain it! Grrrrrrrrrrrr...

I'm not sure I fully agree. I am often perfectly happy and joyous, while restraining an obviously rude cheer when a very full of themself person trips and stumbles over a curb they weren't able to see because their nose was so high in the air. This also applies for beauty pageants, but I watch those at home and do not hesitate to fall to the floor and roll while laughing.

But I will concede that the times I've felt the most extreme joy and happiness have been cut loose, all out, balls to the wall moments with insanely nutty laughter and stout smiles that refuse to be wiped away.

E: good on you! I love how you see it all.

You uncontrollable, unrestrainable happy people deserve to be punished! But then you'd find something to laugh about, no matter what form of reprimand you were meted out. So go ahead, laugh, squeal, guffaw, grin, and sing and whistle in the dark! Ha! The bogeyman'll gitcha!

Ha ha ha! Just kiddddddding!!!

WEll I loved the subject and had to - HAD to have an unrestrained look Jesus - I sit with a coffee in the morning, and watch the turn of leaves in the breeze and am happy. Of course that's in the spring/summer/fall - in the winter I'm just happy I didn't freeze overnight!

What a cool subject. Makes me giddy - lol - well as giddy as I get

 

[Guest]

Charlus giddy? Nearly unimaginable. Like pure joy.

P, you know everytime your legs appear, every time your eyes gloss over this computer, everytime your words grace the AH - I AM GIDDY - in my calm and peaceful way

It took me years to learn restraint, but I finally did. And now I choose not to use it. LOL. If I find something funny, I laugh. Out loud. If I feel like yelling "Wheeeeee!", which I never do, I would do it. If my grandpa's teeth shot out of his mouth during an animated story, I don't care who you are, that's funny!

Of course, my whole family would have just laughed at that. None of us take things all that seriously. Knowing my grandpa he would have done it on purpose just to get a laugh. LOL.

You're the coolest, Boota.

Most of my family is into unrestrained happiness, but at the time Grandpa sent his dentures across the room the company was stodgy and unimpressed with my glee. All the same, I'd do it again. The memory lives in me and he later admitted he wanted to laugh about it as I did. *sigh* Catholics.

These days, all laughs are welcome and typically indulged. It's a good policy and so far no one has suffered too much for it. I miss my Papa and would give anything to hear some of his stories right now. I'd even suppress a laugh, just to hear his voice. But life is not permanent and I grin and giggle at the simple memories I have of him and his antics.

[Boota]

Thanks Lucky! I try to be cool.

Catholic! That explains a bit. LOL. I have a friend who calls himself a recovering Catholic. He grew up in a very buttoned down environment. Once he got away to college he went absolutely wild.

My mom told me a story about myself that I can't remember doing because I was so young. She had some old, stodgy company over one day and I told some cute little knock knock joke. I was about four years old. She said that not one of them even politely laughed. It was like they were offended that a child was present or something. She tried to hurry me out of the room and I turned around and shouted, "Humorless sons of bitches!"

I had heard my uncle say that to some people when they didn't laugh at something he thought was funny. She said I just repeated it in the same tone he said it originally. LOL.

I love it! Thank goodness that the world is getting out of the mindset that children should be seen and not heard. Kids are treasures and absolutely hilarious.

But having a bit of Catholic family, myself, it is quite embarassing when my daughter (2) gets frustrated and hollers, "Dammit!" I accept full responsibility. Normally I'm very good about filtering my language, but for some reason the filter is not set to pick up the word dammit. So I say it here and there and she's figured out it's a term to be used when one is frustrated. And I guess what's good enough for Mom is good enough for her.

At any rate, I encourage her to steal the show when others are around and often set her up with silly phrases to make others laugh. If you remember the Taco Bell commercial 'ZESTY!', you should hear her say it and with the face I taught her...it's pretty damn funny. She also plays off of cues like when I sing, "Who let the dogs out?" she jumps in with, "WHO - WHO- WHO- WHOWHO!" It's really great until she decides to do it in church with my father who is very involved, but he's also got a great sense of humor and indulges her almost everything.

p.s. Why don't you have an AV? I checked out your band page and wouldn't mind seeing your bald head beside your posts at all.

p.p.s. I also listened to two of the songs and really enjoyed them. My computer speakers are pretty bad, though and it was hard to get all of the undertones, but still very cool.

What a happy, lucky trollop I am.

Or am I a guttersnipe?

'Tis a puzzlement.

I actually pay my nieces to swear in public, but only if it's going to be really funny. LOL. They usually refuse. I offered Michaela, my eight year old niece, $100 to tell the waitress at the Waffle House that her food was "Gooder than fuck all." She refused and her dad (my brother) said, "Michaela, it's a $100! Go ahead!" She wouldn't do it, though. They always tell the kids, "Uncle Boota loves you. He's just bad." LOL.

For some reason, kids seem to be able to pick up words they aren't allowed to use easier than anything else. My nephew, who is three, walks around the house saying, "Bitch bitch bitch bitch..." under his breath all day. I guess his filters don't work very well either. LOL.

I bet your daughter is really cute when she says "Zesty!" My drummers daughter sings the Who Let the Dogs Out song, too. Kids love that! She sings that and the Milkshake song all the time. LOL.

Uh-oh! A grandfather indulging his granddaughter. Sounds like what goes on around here. Those girls have my dad wrapped around their little fingers. And he loves it.

You like the bald head? Cool. Thanks. I don't have an AV because I've never really thought about it. I don't have a website that I maintain myself and haven't really messed with any of the free image hosting sites. I'll have to think about doing that. The picture on the Fetish page is from 1998. The day after I first shaved my head, in fact. I'm still big and still bald, but I have lost almost 100 pounds since that picture was taken. I don't really look like that anymore. We need a new band pic. LOL.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed our music. We do sound much better on CD. The sound from the Real Player clips isn't very good anyway. It's probably not your speakers. It kind of sounds like it's underwater even on really good speakers. I did produce those songs myself and recorded them in a spare bedroom, but they don't sound that bad at all on the disc.

My grandpa once spit tobacco out the window of his car and had to go back for his teeth.

He didn't think it was funny. Or he knew it was, but wouldn't admit it.

Giggling with unholy glee over here, Boota. I never thought of that! I won't try it with the ones on hubby's side, but my brother's kids are fair game! (he's blood, he has to love me)

THANK YOU!!!!

 

[Boota]

Have fun with it, Minsue! That's what nieces and nephews are for, isn't it?

Michaela is currently upset because she loves to read and she's not allowed to read my book. Her mom told her that there was too much bad language in the book and she said, "Uncle Boota just says it all anyway!"

She does have a point, sort of. LOL.
