Random thoughts from a one track mind

How much do you love your life?

Last night (well yesterday in general) I was having a pretty good day, and then I hit that question. It's a good one. I went from "well, sure it's okay, but do I really love it?" to "what is love of life anyway?". I eventually worked out a scale.

0 - I wish I'd never been born.
1 - Put a pillow over my face and get it over with
...
3 - It's okay, but I've *got* to make some changes
...
6 - It's generally better than worse.
...
8 - I think there are some general changes I'd like to make but other than that, smooth sailing!
9 - I'm happier that a clam at high tide.
10 - I'd carve out an eye just to keep breathing.

So I figured out I was at about a 6 myself yesterday, mabye even a 7. Then I got home and got ambushed by the wife. I dropped to a 0 so fast it would make your head spin! Even today I'm still only at a 2 or a 3. Add to this the fact that I've got another migraine....I have a feeling this sliding scale will come in very handy!

On other news, I had a realization on the bus yesterday. She is the only person I've ever met who I can fall in love with (and I mean mad passionate obsessive love) over and over again on a regular basis. I'm on my second wife here and a few girlfriends, and never before have I expeienced this. I've heard it's not even possible. But it is....
