Stanford Visit

So I visited Stanford today, and these are the things I saw. It's a beautiful place with well manicured lawns and immaculate architecture.



When it gets hot outside people tend to play in the fountains...with their floaty toys.







This is Hoover Tower...it looks like a penis.







and bikes...people lock them, but not to anything in particular.

Happy?

I know this girl, who is moody...ok, all women are moody, I've come to this realization lately. But perhaps this is more than moody. Life situations affect her soo dramatically including sleep deprivation, over-eating/starvation, compulsive behavior, etc. The only reason I bring this up is because recently she said to me that she was in a good mood and really happy, but not an hour later there she was bemoaning this, begrudging that, and belittling Joe Schmoe (for the sake of discretion). How can you be in a good mood and still be soo negative? Is that possible?

I've been trying to surround myself with positive things, positive people, positive activities and have a positive outlook on every situation. This girl does not help. The only thing I could do was walk away. It must be soo exhausting being soo negative all the time.

I think true happiness shows itself in our actions, not our words. I once read a quote that said "A Happy Person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes." I believe that wholeheartedly, and I'm trying to live it fully.
