Today the sun made an extended appearance.* People danced in the street or, at the very least, they smiled for the first time in weeks.

Forget all that nonsence about free-will. We are simple animals with a complex system of rationalizing our actions. Actions which are based on nothing more than the electricity and the chemical soup housed in our pre-historic brains and influenced by the environment which surrounds us. A quick equation to demonstrate:

Sun = Happy

This doesn’t mean you have no control over your moods. Here are a few things which may help you tip the balance of happy vs. sad chemicals in your favour:

Ya Mama – Fatboy Slim
Shake what ya mama gave ya. Found on Fatboy’s new album Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars and on the Charlie’s Angels soundtrack.

Charlie’s Angels
No plot. No point. Beautiful women kicking people. Bill Murray. Happy.

2 oz. green creme de menthe
2 oz. white creme de cacao

* Actually this happened yesterday. Today it is snowing. The delay on this post comes from having nearly finished this post yesterday and having it disappear. It angries up the blood I tell ya.
