Looking at the “Time: Visions of the 60′s” magazine you can see a lot of good times, bad times. Me and friend of mine reading this magazine could only imagine traveling in time and go back to 60′s. Riding hippie bus with Hog Farm commune to the Fourth of July parade in New Mexico,
joining the March to Pentagon against Vietnam war in 1967, listening songs about freedom by Joan Baez at Berkeley in 1964. How about the moment when Jimi Hendrix set fire to his guitar in 1967!? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PShb9YiCEy0
All these wild dates putting 60′s in my list of the decade I would Time Travel, which is possible and I hope really soon. 60′s it’s definitely experience I want to try, livin’ positive 
“New York’s City Council voted last week to pass a law extending city’s smoking ban on parks, beaches and plazas where pedestrians congregate like in Times Square and Union Square.” – says Time magazine’s “Healthland” online rubric.
Even though smoking was accepted in Western society for a centuries, now (may be in 90 days when ban will be in effect), many New Yorkers have to face this problem of giving up this “bad habit”. Is it going to effect city’s lifestyle and bring sunshine to parks and streets of Big Apple City? Not sure. But for one thing I know for sure, that many people at least will consider of giving up this bad and now expensive habit, and certainly it’s gonna collapse their feelings. What I mean is quitting cigarettes is really make people happier. Nicotine and Tobacco research done by scientists from Cancer Research UK Health Centre of University College London showed that 69% of 900 surveyed ex-smokers felt happier than when they were smokers, only 3% reported to feeling less happy.
What can I say? It’s your choice. You think giving up this bad habit is really necessary to become happier? Well I smoke and a lot, and if it will make me happier I can put it in my list of how to live happier. Livin’ positive
And I got a song for you, those whose lungs are already tired doing their work but still .
Question: Can technology make us happy?
“I think technology could be quite relevant to our happiness. That is, we could use technology to improve it. But I don’t think we do…” – said Dan Gilbert, Professor of Psychology in Harvard University.
Human is the only animal which can use specific power called intelligence on the daily base. We build cities, and by the fact I know we create technologies. I remember when cellphone used to be only for calling and playing Snake. There was no internet, no Facebook, no twitter, nothing that connects old-fashioned phone to our new world smart phones. Even nowadays we expect new technology releases every half year, making us buy more updated and interesting pieces, but people never could ask whether technologies make us happier or not. How I believe buying technologies, lead us to happy feeling of acquiring something new but it’s not what we could call happiness. Do people know what make them happy? No. We don’t (I’m sorry mom, but we really don’t). That’s probably why our technologies don’t make us happy. What Dan Gilbert suggested to us is to start make technologies that “can” make us happy, effecting brain physically, like happy pills… So, having the cure, the technologies, there is only one question… Do we want to use them? Do you want to use happy pills? I’ve been on them for a year or less, and I’m saying it’s not happy at all It makes you feel little different than happy, sometimes it even makes you even happier than you want. Also it leads to some unexpected mental problems, which about I really can’t write, since I’m not a pharmacists. So will technologies go to my list of “happy things”? I cannot tell yet, since I want to observe this theme a little more. Only thing I would say about technologies is. Think about it, only technologies that make us happy are technologies that connect us to our family, lovers, friends, that’s a real happiness. Love people surrounding you, kids stay out of drugs, livin’ positive
For you to stay out of drugs, another app I found here

We know how it’s important to be creative. Even living in our modern world of Globalization, working at job which is full of “alienation” we just forget what it’s like to be creative, bring creativity in your job, make people smile, that’s another secret of happiness… So why won’t we be creative today and see how world around us change, happy creative day, livin’ positive
First of all I would like to attempt you considering the word that I used in this post. No, I’m not advertising bad habits or writting anything about addiction or any bad things considering illegal drugs. Keeping it PG-13 I want to write about experience I lately faced searching for the drugs that could make you happier. So, I typed a phrase “Drugs that can make you happy” on Google when definition of word “Ecstasy” suddenly popped up on a first line of results. So far, Urban 75.com says “Ecstasy is a powerful stimulant and mood changer that speeds up your body system and alters your perception of the world” but what does it really means!? Can it make you happy!? I mean it got a really cheap price and mostly lasts up from three to six hours, that’s exactly what people looking for! They are looking for cheap prices and good amount of time in the “paradise”. Looking at side effects we can say that this ILLEGAL and STRONG drug make you talk bullshit, do wild things and forget about them next day. Health risks section on this website couldn’t encourage me neither. Just think about it… Are we really looking for that? Is your life is really boring to do that? I mean it’s understandable that you as a human want to try new feelings but there are lots of people could enjoy life not even trying ecstasy even once. So far, in this journey of finding the “real” happiness, ecstasy is sadly out of my list.
I still got something interesting for you that I found long time ago (almost forgot about it ). It’s a flash game made by students of The University of Utah including all information you want to know about different types of illegal drugs. Kids stay out of drugs, their parents drive safely, “livin’ positive”

Checking out “Yes! magazine” I stopped on Interactive Graphic that shows “10 Things Science Says Will Make You Happy”. Interested in answering philosophical question “what makes us happy”, father-son researchers Ed Diener and Robert Biswas-Diener, Stanford psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky and ethicist Stephen Post have studied people all over the world to find out how things like money, attitude, culture, memory, health, altruism, and our day-to-day habits affect our well-being. For me, research showed some things that most people wouldn’t follow, but hey, we not perfect, but I believe at least, we have to try. Everybody can try because it’s so simple. Let’s quickly go through it together :
Savor Everyday Moments – Everyday life gives us different circumstances, sometimes you just don’t see them
Avoid Comparisons - I know that b**** Emily talked sh** about you in the bathroom, but hey, start the change in yourself first
Put Money Low on the List - I think it’s quite hard to do in our times, I would paraphrase it into: “Remember, you don’t live for money.”
Have Meaningful Goals - it says “As humans, we actually require a sense of meaning to thrive.” Get your life together and find you
Take Initiative at Work - Creativity, creativity and creativity
Make Friends, Treasure Family - That’s what we do
Smile Even When You Don’t Feel Like It - You think I put smileys automatically!? I really smile everytime I do it
Say Thank You Like You Mean It - Just remember that some words are more than just sounds
Get Out and Exercise - That’s what I forgot about
Give It Away, Give It Away Now! - Don’t start giving all your stuff to people around you, but “Researcher Elizabeth Dunn found that those who spend money on others reported much greater happiness than those who spend it on themselves.” Livin’ positive
Today one of my friends came to me and started to talk how stressful it was to be a single on Valentine’s day. Being in her late teen’s she has ended up not being in love for a year. Switching from one relationship to another, she would never think how it’s to be lonely on St. Valentine, calling her mom, telling how she loves her. Just after she hung up the phone she said: “that’s only person I can call right now”.
I’ve been single for a years so I’m use to being lonely . . . But after years I’ve learned that you cannot disturb your own vibe by over stressing things, so what I suggested is to keep your flow, how they said “hope dies last”…
Valentines Day is a time to observe the ones you love . . not to observe love that you don’t have. . . livin’ positive
Today is Valentine’s day and I’ve realized it when I woke up and have seen all this e-mails I’ve received. Personally I wrote a text message to my mom, since I didn’t want to wake her up, telling her how i love her and wish would spend this day with her and my sister. Story of St. Valentine, the priest from Rome who gave his life in the name of love was told by lovers across the world for many years now. I would only say, please love each other, spread love, remember this power that can build new hopes, that can bring happiness… livin’ positive
So the weekend is almost over, and there is no place to party . . . again, it’s time to prepare for the busy week. People are getting depressed remembering what they have to do for the week, like pay for bills – deadlines are close enough to worry about them, and you must do assignments which you wish you did the previous Friday, oh yeah don’t forget to call your mom since you miscalled her on Friday night… But Sunday wouldn’t be called Sunday if we had all these problems facing us in the morning. First of all it’s a sunny day, secondly Sunday is a day for friends to get together, remembering all parties they had this weekend, order pizza and watch a movie. Which movie you’d be watching tonight, depends. Hey, you don’t want any drama with all the same “bullshit!” you see everyday, let’s watch some adventures, some cartoons, some throw backs. I’m thinking about a movie from the 80′s “Airplane!” is one. Only in this movie you can hear Steve McCroskey saying: “Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.” Just watching trailer makes friend laugh…
Get Chinese, get comfy, enjoy your movie and good week, livin’ positive
