I've determined the exact cost of happiness...its about $20/hr. I performed this today while snorkeling off the coast of Playa Ocotal in Costa Rica. It was about $70 for roughly 5 hours...but I've determined that the maximum amount of enjoyment was obtained at a fee of $20/hr. This includes drinks, spending time on a boat, looking at your loved one(s), being fed, etc. This is the minimal cost for (MY) happiness.
Some would say that love is free. However, If I was to have HOT sex, I'm telling you, the cost comes out to more than $20 an hour as well. I last about 5 minutes total, anyways. You'll drop at least a hundo on dinner to begin with...let alone a babysitter, your hair, a new dress, etc. However, today I experienced pure enjoyment without fucking for about $20/hour.
I've been to some killer live music shows...and it pretty much equaled out to $20/hour. I've done some killer drugs and after all was said and done, it evened out to about $20/hr. A bottle of something tasty, a new toy, a good book, the cost of a tank of gas to get me to someplace interesting...all in all for me to be happy, its going to cost an Andrew Jackson.
I'm partly okay with knowing this. That I could put a minimal cost rate on my happiness. It allows you to judge things better. A good meal. A good movie. How much you're honestly willing to shell out for a broadway play, or a new video game. When someone tells me that "this item will provide you with hours of enjoyment" I now know that unless its cheaper than $20/hr, that I'm not getting that great of a deal/experience.
Anyways, I was gonna write another entry, but apparently this one never posted, so I'll just up this and look at some porn and go to bed. Deep six the other entry for now. It sucked anyway.
