Uplifting post to lighten the mood.

Whenever I listen to upbeat heppy music I envision silly things like, Jesus, a robot, and Abe Lincoln dancing in unison or something, with a ninja doing the turntables, it sounds goofy , but it makes you smile.  Try this, get some headphones and go to a beatutiful place on a watm sunny day, like a park or something, and jsut listen to happy music.  You will think of some great things!!![]

LOL! Ninjas rock! (so do Jesus and Abe Lincoln) hehe! Yeah, I bet Jesus would go to a rave or a dance club... well, not really. I honestly have to say I feel safer at a rave than I do at a dance club. I always hear about violence at a dance club in nearby cities, but I've been to both and I have to say the atmosphere is a lot less hostile at a rave (granted they're a lot more expensive to get into), probably because everyone's stoned out of their gord. I hate drugs and all but I hate violence a lot more, and if i'm going to have a good time, at least I know that the only danger to me is the danger I bring upon myself.

Ever watch those old kung fu flicks with the really bad dubbing? They have such coordination with the martial arts and could totally obliterate anyone in a fight, but get them to move their mouths at the same time as the narrator/translator and they're baffled.

Yeah, right now I am really starting to like the martial arts. And I think this summer/next year I'm going to start Kung Fu.   Karate is overdone.  And TaiChi is mainly energy work, I like action and being able to take on a freindly opponent.  Eventhough I'm passive. [^]

From my experience, I can tell you that kung fu totally rocks. It's hard work, but your rewards will be so much greater in the end. I'm learning some really good stuff. My teacher can do all kinds of strange things I didn't know were physically possible to do. Go for it Shawn, you will not be let down. And if you get a really good teacher, well, just do yourself a favor and never quit...[] I'm all gung-ho about kung fu. I wish I could go to my college just for that and nothing else. Can I major in arse-kicking?[]

Hello everyone. I thought that since I sensed a lot of negative energy in this section, I would post something to make people happy. I think negativity perpetuates itself, so I decided, why not end the cycle by posting something that would cheer you all up? We are all down at one point or another in our lives. But once you get out of the rut, you can soar! We have all been given spiritual wings with which to soar to new heights of happiness. I think that happiness is a natural psychic self-defense. Think about all the good times in your life. Remember them, and don't think about anything negative. When you are happy, are you attacked by negs? I'm only attacked if I feel down, so I make it a point every day to smile, or think of one happy thought, in spite of all the wrong I've been done. Try to pay attention to the visions you get when you're happy. I bet some of them are really amazing. Sometimes I get visions so complex I couldn't possibly comprehend anyone drawing them or making them on a computer. They perpetuate my happiness, and nothing can touch me. Accomplishment is also another big thing that helps. When you're happy, do something constructive. The effects will last you a long time. Maybe even a whole week. It can carry you through  a bad day and get you back on track. you should try doing something really constructive at least twice a week. Take up a new hobby, perhaps. Something creative with which you can use to create someting influenced by happiness and love- A painting, a song or instrumental piece, a sculpture. Everything helps. I hope this post has had the desired effect of making someone happy.

Please feel free to post more things here that will make people happy. May the love and warmth of your god(s)/goddess(es) reach every one of you.

We could all use a good laugh once in a while too. There's a post in Astral Chat you should probably take a look at, I think Peaceful Warrior is the author. It's called "Funny Posts ONLY, please" or something like that. Take a look. You're guaranteed at least one good laugh.
