Honey Bear's Underwear

Sometimes I drop my plate
Sometimes I spill my drink
But even when I make mistakes, I know
the Sunshine's always hiding inside of me
Wise words of the sweet, sweet honey bear!

Quote of the Day - Buddha

"Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die"

Hey, your flies are undone!

This little bit of research from YouGov amused me: 


82% of British people would tell someone they knew if they had accidentally left their flies undone


87% would let a friend or acquaintance know if they’d accidentally tucked their skirt into the back of their underwear

IrisMacro and I are trying to compile a list of happy things. It started off as a quest to find 100 things that make us happy and is affiliated with Iris' awesome blog, UNdane: Iris Jones vs. The Great Mundane.

But we're not happy with that. We won't stop 'til we're at 100 BILLION happy things! :o)

We started the #100happy tag on Twitter to try and spread the joy and also created a Flickr group to share the photographs that make us smile.

#100happy can be anything that makes you feel happy: as big as the thought that one day there might be world piece, or as silly as the realisation that there's a plate of cold sausages in your fridge when you get home from work.

Here's a few of our faves:

Quote of the Day - Nigerian proverb

"Hold a true friend with both of your hands."

Jump Around.

View JUMP AROUND, a set on Flickr.

It’s possible to forget how alive we really are. We can become dry and tired, just existing, instead of really living. We need to remind ourselves of the juice of life, and make that a habit. Find those places inside that jump for joy, and do things. ~ Anonymous


IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO JUMP ABOUT LIKE A LUNATIC WITHOUT COMING OVER ALL ECSTATICALLY HAPPY. And Iris Macro is going to prove it.

What makes you happy?

A film about taking a moment to consider the simpler things in life. 200 people were asked one simple question and this film is just some of the most honest answers.





What makes YOU happy?

Filmed at numerous locations around Ireland over summer 2009.

Director/Camera/Editor - Robin Murray

Music - Paul Ward

100 Happy Faces was produced as part of the Irish Film Board Virtual Cinema Scheme co-ordinated by Stephen McCormack and Helen O'Reilly at Straywave Media.

Quote of the Day - Helen Keller

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."

Heartbreaking to Heartwarming

Considering the events of the last few days, I thought the most fitting image to share with you as the first post of this blog was a sign of hope.

Restores your faith in humanity, doesn't it. Everyone involved in the #riotcleanup (search Twitter for hashtag #riotcleanup to see how you can get involved) is an absolute hero, as are the members of the emergency services who continue to protect the community when in the face of danger.

May the streets of the UK return to being peaceful and safe very soon.

This photo of a husband and wife making tea for the riot police is doing its rounds. They're all legends.
