Happiness gained but not earned

Greetings.
I've been known to get overly excited over things that really don't mean anything at all. Or get overly enthusiastic to learn about the world, the traditional poets, the philosophies that have shaped the thinking past and present and then distracted by the allure of KFC or cartoons.

The blog's name comes from a summary of my approach to life. I love learning, I have great enthusiasm towards a lot of things. But most of it comes down to the stupid little things. The first coffee of the morning, the redbull that you manage to scrape enough coins together to afford to get you through your essay, that burst of energy that comes from nowhere and helps you deal with all of life's utter bullshit.

I'm writing an essay at present about blogging.
How do blogs affect the ownership of information?
What information can be trusted?
Who has the authority to spread such information?
Who is held accountable?
What of publishers?
Etc.

But really, another mindless academic blog is not what I'm interested in. We'll get to that pretentious stuff later (and with many [hopefuly] entertaining gaps), for now I just thought I would set the stage so to speak for how I allowed myself to succumb to this, what I had previously thought of, pointless pieces of texts and create my own.
