are you truly happy at this point in your life?
 

I was studying my econ today and we were doing the tax section. After I realized how much I actually am going to owe come April, I began to reach for my revolver.

I have to want something better and be on my way to getting it to be happy - once I got it I want something else


anticipation is happyness.

Beautiful wife. Two happy, healthy kids. Happy as hell :)

I am both eager and excited to have the talent, courage and freedom to venture into the Adult Industry and use its money to fuel what I love doing.

Hobbies get expensive and time consuming, at least through slight success one can devote time to the things that do make the difference.

A little difference makes a difference.

I smile, during times like this I smile.

:smokin

i understand where you're coming from.

Same.

I was up all last night thinking about taxes and how I really need to keep better track of things. I believe true happiness is having an organized, well thought out life. Being prepared and having a a feeling of control over your destiny.

I'm not sure you're aware of it but you just paraphrased a key part of the Tao Te Ching . SleazyDream = Taoist philosphy dude Who woulda thunk it.:thumbsup

i am a self-admitted control freak. i have my taxes under the thumb screws, and am extremely organized.

i'm actually hoping to relax this aspect of my personality. it hasn't added to my life at all :2 cents:

Gave up the control aspect way back in my late 20's.. gave up being very organized in my early 40's feel much better (This is very hard to do). Hell I use not even trust a dry cleaners to do my shirts and jeans right.. I would get up and iron them every dam morning... had to be dam perfect. As I've gotten older I would say I have turned in a mini slob and fucking love it. I look back...think about it and really didn't start to grow up until I was in my late 30's. Being organized or not has nothing to do with growing up...

nice :glugglug

Many of my goals I have reached, which I'm happy about, but I always come up with new goals and challenges, sometimes I'm not satisfied until the goal is reached, which makes it frustrating when it takes time.

Perfection is something I strive for, but hope to never reach. Then life would be really boring.

Basically happy. Good health, positive business outlook.

Only negative is no love life. I'm sort of like michael corleone in the godfather. Focused on business, very logical view on life, kind of hard. Not a happy wanderer type. Thats a turn off to young hot chicks. They want some party boy who is very spontaneous and focused on fun and nothing else.

At this point in my life Im not happy. My financial situation is not where I would like it to be. Guess I need to work harder :)

Somewhat happy.

Everybody's working for the weekend, but as you know quiet, us adult webmasters (the ambitious ones anyway) work for never having to work again. I'm hoping I can pull it off as convincingly as you seem to be. ;>

Cheers,

happy but not happy enough,I'm never satisfied with anything..I could be worth $100mil and would still HAVE to find a way to turn it into 200 or I would feel like a failure... trying to shake that side of me but its hard :(

I'm reasonably happy. Could be better though. I don't think i'll be as happy as i ever could be until i have a family of my own, instead of all those damn illegitimate kids! :winkwink:

happy?

yeah... :glugglug

once I'm finally divorced, I will be happy. I thought being able to quit my job and push porn would solve most of my problems. It didn't. Don't get me wrong. I'd rather deal with my problems while sitting here in my lounge chair than I would being at a shitty 9-5 job, but if you have a woman who is mentally dragging you down, you can't really enjoy the success you already have.

Plus, once I get divorced, I'll be able to do a lot more hardcore content. It's hard to get my dick sucked and put it on my site because my ignorant ass nosey as fuck prude of a wife is constantly monitoring it.

And I'm getting happier with every beer.

:)

I have the flu. I'm not happy at all.

happiness, of course is a state of mind. The contributing factors to me are:

1. a happy, equal relationship with my significant other. Relationships go bad fast when each party isant bringing equal things to the table.

2. Being physically fit and hence mentally fit.

3. Financial security. Never having to work again. Its what we're all after. I don't mean to stop working, just knowing that you can.

4. Setting goals and working towards them. Nothing is more gratifying than reaching a lofty goal you set for yourself.

5. Helping others in need.

6. keeping things in perspective. A huge relief is always letting go of something you have no control over.

Not that happy really... financially, i've been doing very well and i graduated from a great school with a double major but i'm not that happy with life in general. I'm not sure exactly why either, I guess i'm just lonely given that i work very long hours and most of my friends moved once we graduated school so I find myself involved with my work more than life... Plus not having a gf in 2+ years i think is starting to get to me.

THE MAN tells us that consuming will make us happy. That somehow, the more shit we buy, the happier we will be. Well fuck that. If I can't pack up ALL my shit in a few hours and leave never to return then I know I have too much stuff. My money gets spent on drugs, alcohol, food and travel. Buying "things" hasn't interested me in a while.

I suspect in order to be truly happy you must be able to be happy even if you had no possessions.

Congrats :)

I don't think I'll ever be truly happy at any point in my life. Cuz if I wuz, then I'd quit trying

lots of interesting perspectives here :glugglug

Do you think we are going to get more reclusive to our homes as the internet keeps getting more exciting?

Every day I find another way to solve my dilemma of leaving my house, when I really don't feel like it. Paying bills online, etc. This can't be healthy. Mentally. I wonder if it will become more accepted in let's say 25 years, to just stay home most of the time and sit in front of your computer. I see it happening already.

Virtual lifestyle. But I fucking love it.

I forget #7

Random blow jobs and trips to Costa Rica

Been there, done that. Only a temporary happiness fix, nothing longterm.

that's true. the happiness of sitting on a beach fucking native bitches wears off in about 3 days. I've tried it more than once. I ALWAYS end up just as bored as if I was here at home.
