How's Everyone Feeling Right Meow?

I'm feeling very nairvous for my huhspundt, right-a now-a. Ees like um, how you say?....there's a buttars in my stah-mach.

Oh, if Trump wins Melania's fucked. You can't expect a man like him to rule the free world and show his strength without a new model hanging off his arm now, can you?

[SteelCurtain]

Is it bad that if Trump were killed I literally wouldn't be able to give the most meagre thrust of a fuck, even if I wanted to?

Probably bad. I don't care.

I had the same thought today. I quickly stifled it, because he is after all a human. But I'd be lying if I said that worked, like at all.

In my experience that's the very opposite of suffering...

...until the dream is over.

And in my experience: Even then the dreaming was worth it. Oh so very worth it. [emoji106]

[Sal]

Feel like shit. Nausea, slight headache, brain zaps and nervous stomach. Can't wait to be off Venlafaxine.

[Edwardo Piet]

I feel physically very similar, Sal, but I'm still happy as fuck.

It's odd how to me the biggest test of how happy I am is how much physical discomfort I can take and still not give a shit and still be happy as fuck. It's odd to me how the biggest test of how unhappy I am is how little physical discomfort I can take without giving a shit and without being unhappy as fuck.

[Sal]

Oh, I mean in the physical sense. I'm still content, although I would be lying if I said the physical discomfort I feel doesn't affect my spirits.

[Edwardo Piet]

Yeah. It normally does. Or at least it normally does in normal people.

For me it would be unusual for headaches and stomach aches and sickness to have any bearing on my happiness. For me personally, in my experience, those things only make me feel worse if I'm already unhappy. When I'm happy I really don't give a shit. In fact when I'm happy I tend to feel so amazing I can't be fucked taking care of my pain because I'm too focused on my pleasure. I guess intense happiness kind of becomes dysfunctional and can transfer into self-neglect once you're so happy that you don't give a fuck about your pain: This is the problem of mania.

Don't get me wrong, such pains make me feel A LOT worse if I'm already unhappy. Or even if I'm merely bored... although personally I think boredom is mild unhappiness, if we're talking experiencing-self. It's true that we can still have a happy life satisfaction (remembering-self). But I'm talking about being happy in both senses.

Also, pain can make me unhappy. It can punch me out of my happiness. I'm talking specifically about a happiness level that I frequently have that can't be punched out by headaches or nausea or stomach ache or back pain or the like... it would have to be intense enough for me to feel that my life was threatened or it would have to be tortuous pain like being stabbed or tortured or something, to knock me out of a happiness level this high. I'd have to be attacked. But I think this is mostly because a threat to my life is a threat to my happiness: I can't be happy if I die. Fear ruins happiness basically. Pain that induces fear ruins my happiness, but pain that does not does not.

If my weirdness weirds you out then just ignore me

Dead after a 10 mile run, I'm so happy though.

I love that euphoric lightweight feeling after you stop running after a long run. I get a feeling that might not be healthy, but eh...

Btw does anyone know anywhere I can get decent quality running shoes at an affordable price? My current pair are getting tired, I can feel it The one establishment that I went to, they had good pairs but for like over £100. I'd rather avoid that especially since they'll only last me a few months.
