Pursuit

I just finished a painting today. I'm pretty happy with it, a bit more than I usually am with completed pieces. I'm glad because the level of happiness had been consistent until recently, so I took a break from it. Then I came back to it today and finished its awesomeness! Again, pictures will be up later.
Speaking of happiness, I was just watching The Pursuit of Happyness and as depressed as it made me feel I could not bring myself to stop watching it. Definitely a great film though, Will Smith is utterly awesome at intensely emotional roles. Seven Pounds, for example, is another film where I respect him so much. Pursuit is really good, good to make you cry. I'm kind of glad I didn't see it in theaters, I'd be bawling. The best line of the many was, "It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking how did he know to put the pursuit part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it. No matter what. How did he know that?"

Anyways, I hate sitcoms where the audience laughs at every funny moment. It never annoyed me until the very five minutes ago. It is just stupid and repetitively annoying.

I almost got sucked into "The Pursuit of Happiness" black hole last night as well. Almost. I somehow was able to resist and go to bed.
