The whole world is grumpy today ( but not me )

I am quite serious about this.
Everyone that I talked today was grumpy about something. Old friends were grumpy, new friends were grumpy... even my Mother who is decidedly a happy go lucky kind of person were all grumpy. And no I am not going to put in a clip from Office Space here and force you to watch that "case of the mondays" bit. Google it yourself if you want to watch it.
I was okay with people being grumpy, I have no problem being your wailing wall when you want to vent, I will cheer you up with dances that accent my amazing pelvic moves and then we will be good. You will be good because you are not grumpy and I will be good because I don't need to deal with your grumpy ass.
I was very tolerant of everyone and their individual grumpiness all day.
until...
this was said,"how about, how being to nice and laid back gets ya nowhere!!!!"
This is something I strongly disagree with... I can't stress how much I disagree with what my dear friend said. I live my life very much in accordance to being nice, and being laid back. Recently a huge payback has been made in the form of kindness and friendship. I am not some goofy ass hippy but if you don't treat the world right, you will not be treated right. If you let every little thing get under your skin and don't at least occasionally behave in a "laid back" fashion you will most assuredly have miserable days.
My father said (constantly) throughout my childhood, "Work hard, be good, have fun." I don't think it can be any more simple than that. Cheer the fuck up everyone! You have a life which means that you live... so fucking live already and quit all this moping around. It is very annoying.

and if that did not help you.
try and look at this picture of me and not get a smile on your face.
