Feeling sad is way underrated. I recently had a birthday and I knew my wife had something planned and I kept asking if friend A was going to be there or friend B or C, and she kept says "oh he has a wedding" or "he's going to Chicago" or "will be out of town for work." I ran down like my top 8 friends and none of them could come. I was super bummed and thinking that the people that are just like pseudo-friends that will come will think that they are my only friends and I must be some sort of loser or something. She saw me get all sad and then she told me she was kidding and that my friends will be there and she just wanted it to be a surprise. I don't know what she was thinking, like it's pretty mean to tell someone that basically none of your friends care enough to come to your birthday party. But anyway the feeling afterwards was much better. So I guess being sad is only fun if you can be really happy soon afterwards. Like when Dlew is walking down Anderson in the rain a car will pull up and say "need a ride Buster?" and he will look up and see it's the one that got away and then he'll be so happy. So good for you Dlew!
