The Happifying

happify - (verb) to make or become happy


That word is thanks to an old friend of mine, and I take no credit for it. But it does adequately state the topic of this post.


Living in the United States, and in this time of amazing technology, most of us have access to ways to make ourselves happy, even in the darkest night, saddest day, and deepest gloom. I personally turn to the ultimate method of relaxation, rejuvenation, and happification (that's right, a new form of the word): music. Whether playing it for real with UTA, the band which I drum for, playing it on Rock Band, or just listening to it, music has the power to make sense, even when the rest of the world doesn't, and especially when I don't.
