You remember the book Irene bought for me last summer, right? No? Click HERE to see what I'm talking about. Anyway, here's the next exercise on the list:
Activity #5: Today I will smile- even when I don't feel like it.
So according to this pocket guide to happiness, smiling releases endorphins, which are natural painkillers. It also suggests adding positive thinking behind the smile because some quack who did a study at Wake Forest University told them: "Positive expectations produced about a 28 percent decrease in pain ratings- equal to a shot of morphine."
*RECORD SCRATCH*
Say WORD?! A shot of morphine? So smiling + positive thinking is like having one of those little dials they give terminal patients at the hospital, you know, the ones that up their pain medication when it gets real bad? Wowwwww, learn something new everyday!
*smiles big*
And I always thought those annoyingly positive people were just crazy; come to find their addicted to morphine! It makes so much sense now...
*smooches...happy to have found a cheap substitute for crack*
----------
I was really feeling guilty about using my child support money to feed my drug addiction...now I can just smile real hard and get all the pain meds I want!

I believe that the endorphins are released even more when you beat the shit outta someone with a crowbar. Keep smiling as you do it, those endorphins will be like Niagara F*cking Falls.
Or so I've heard.
*puts away crowbar*
*picks up crowbar*
*wipes off bloody crowbar*
*burns bloody rags*
*puts down crowbar*
And imagine all the fun comments you'll get when people see you are smiling like maniac. You'll even get a seat on the train. LOL! Actually, you might get the entire train car to yourself.
First I'm worried about Tyrone. I think he might need to leave CT.
As for smiling, well it makes you look prettier when you smile but if I want to release endorphins, I can just go work out or have sex. At least then I'm also burning calories!
Yeah.. I'm with Tyrone here.. just smile..
Why.. so.. Serious?

I'm with F_Uitlist. Workout. Have sex. Hell, maximize your happiness and do both at once! No? *shrug* I tried.
ummmmm...somebody come get Tyrone off my blog. Please and thank you.
Damn it.. I'll get him...
Come on Ty.. I don't need to be bailing your ass outta jail again.. You know the po po has it out for you. They don't even need to see the crowbar, nevermind the blood... You already "look" guilty.
Remember the last time? With the midgets and the dude in the Grimace costume... We don't need that again, do we?
