News Release
Rupert West Quebec: Megastir announced today to a flabbergasted pool of press scribes that he has found a deeper understanding of happiness.
Megastir the sometimes-humorous Webmaster and Gerry Lopez look-a-like had this to say. "When I began this life I wanted to bring happiness to my mother. Who, despite a difficult relationship with her bipolar husband and suffering deep self esteem damage from her overly critical parents was a great person. she deserved joy in her life."
As tears welled up in the assembled crowd this statement was forth coming.
"As I passed into adolescence I wanted to bring happiness to myself. I spent many a day festering over my look and how said look might translate into those things that I perceived might bring me happiness, namely sex, money and power."
At this point several scribes nodded knowingly.
" Into young adulthood I became obsessed with bringing happiness into those friends who were close to me at the time. I thought that by projecting a positive attitude into the world that this so called karma would benefit all around me. However I realize now that in fact I was probably being selfish. Simply hoping that this happiness would find me. It never did."
At this point many in the press gallery shifted uncomfortably started scratching their heads and loosening their collars. The stunning honesty being related was almost to much to bear. The tension was unbelievable.
"I now stand before you as a changed man. After spending many years on a remote tropical island eating only a goulash made of rocks and pebbles I returned to the frozen wasteland of the vast north east, where I discovered the secret to happiness. I will share this knowledge with the world not in the hopes that any of you will achieve a lasting enjoyment of life but simply because I can."
The press cocked a collective ear.
"Do not wear shoes!"
"Those of us condemned to live in a world of pavement and concrete or ice and snow may not have realized this yet. In fact, like day and night or positive and negative or the fact that every action has an opposite and equal reaction there will be an equal number of people who are happy and an equal number who are sad."
"Perhaps it can be said that in your life you will be happy exactly one half the time. I believe you can increase the joy in your life by wandering around barefoot."
The press was soon tired of the philosophical nonsense. Gradually they left the hall and returned to their lives. Lives no doubt encased in leather, rubber, epoxy glues and other such materials from which footwear is created.
With that Megastir could be seen wandering from the empty hallway, a dejected sigh coming from his bosom and a pair of Sperry topsiders slung over his shoulder, as he hopped into his slammed Galaxy 500 he made sure to dig his toes into the plush shag that covered the floor of his powerful vehicle. As the V8 roared to life a small smile began to emerge on the face of the often-deluded Webmaster and with that he was gone.
