Part of the reason people enjoy being responsible individuals must stem from the fact that being responsible tends to keep one's mind off things that otherwise, if you weren't being responsible, might make you sullen or irritated. Just doing stuff, relatively easy tasks like paying bills on time, doing the dishes, cleaning up, preparing for the next day the night before - all these have tangential benefits almost wholly separate from the pay off given upon completion.
I bought a lot of books last weekend. There's a lot I need to get done. And I don't feel as negative as I did a few weeks ago. I went to the gym twice this week. I plan on going again tomorrow. Walking around downtown after a good workout is quite nice. Lately it's been just cold enough that you don't hurt all over when you're outdoors.
I'm definitely bitter towards the title of Ben's link to my page. I don't find it to be true at all. It's a nice thought. But it's a shadow of a sentiment that was never really that true. Quantity don't beat quality. Usually.

that's because exercise sends good chemicals to your brain. i've always kind of thought of it as cheating at life.
