    i hate you and fuck off.
    "moe def" or something

    previous u.s. poet laureate Donald Hall says he is a mad poet, a poet "moedee", "moe def"
    i have no idea what he is saying as he has no teeth.

    a MODEL poet??

    Yeah it's french - I could tell that from your quote strangely! I have lived in france. I have no idea what it means or how excatly spelled. But my guess would be

    Mots dit

    (that would actually mean 'words said' - maybe it's a phrase)

    pretty certain he is saying 'a poet mot dit'

    mot dit in french would be pronounced 'mo dee'

    mot is word and dire is the verb to speak - dit is past participle.

    I don't whether this is a known tradition or not - I'm pretty sure it's this tho!!

    one translation would be 'spoken word' but that might not be accurate to what he is describing. There is an online french poetry journal called mot dit also apparently

    here's another poetry website with some poems but no definition

    I've been researching "Happiness" lately (reading as many books as I can about this subject) and I discovered (in something I was reading this morning) that there's actually a branch of psychology called "positive psychology". Now I've got a whole new area to study when I've exhausted this subject. :D

    i am listening to the grateful dead a lot these days.
    they make me HAPPY every single time.
    did you ever go see them?
    i guess their home they rented when they were young little shits is a place to visit.
    they do make me HAPPY.

    I never saw the Grateful Dead. At least, not that I'm aware of. I knew that they existed, but they were for my mom's generation.

    When I was young, we were listening to punk rock, Bruce Springsteen, TP, U2, and other rock bands. We thought the Grateful Dead was for old hippies. :mrgreen: :? :oops:

    The kids my age were divided into three groups, those that liked rock and punk, those that liked metal and punk, and kids that had no taste at all. :shock:

    ;) (Sorry. ) :P

    The hippies were our parents guys! They took us to peace marches, but we didn't want to be them. (!!) :?


    I could give you a long list of reasons why the hippies were lame but I don't wanna get negative. :|
    People can idealize them from a distance but that's not the reality of the situation.

    Music was probably their best contribution though.

    Hey Justam - when you've done this research into happiness, and find the answer.... could I get a copy of your notes?? :lol:

    Actually not being happy has never been one of my problems- I have never been depressed. I have been petrified, devastated, bewildered and sad - but I would never say 'depressed' because I think I have quite a constructive outlook, and when a crisis passes I am quite content. Most of my unhappiness has been caused by objectively dire circumstances! :lol: I have friends however, where it's clearly a 'mood' thing - they are unhappy and there is no external reason - they call themselves depressed. Personally I think 'melancholy' and sadness are an important part of life - I am often melancholy for a few hours, but I think I've learned to enjoy the melancholy for what it is - like I enjoy winter....
