Cheer Up, Nicholas Cage – I’m Here For You
PBS is running a new series on the science of emotions, and happiness in particular. We now have evidence that when a person is happy, that feeling not only makes their own lives better, but also benefits their friends, their friends’ friends, and so on – out to three degrees of separation. If I’m having a good day, the quality of casual acquaintances’, or even strangers’ days are improved.
You know who needs a little cheering up right now? My Other Love, Nicholas Cage. Because he’s in a bit of a financial bind. Listen, Nicky (I can call you that, right?), I live in Walmart country. I know a lot of suppliers. The ones I don’t know, we get coffee from the same barista. And your movies, they’re on the shelves, right? By my calculations you and I are separated by a mere two degrees, three tops. We’re so close, my husband is a little nervous that you’re on my Free Five list.
Dear Nicholas, my happiness is your happiness.
So cheer up, I’m happy. If the scientists are correct, soon you will be too. And if you’d like a more direct line, feel free to friend me on Facebook.

Does reading your blog count as “being within the three degrees of separation”? I just found your blog today and have been enjoying myself reading your previous posts during the whole morning (instead of doing what I should have, i.e. working on my classes that will start next monday, thankfully, I still have the rest of the week). I’m going to add to my new year anti-resolutions “stop being responsible and keeping deadlines”. I’m sure I can achieve it!! Thanks for sharing your writings. I had so much fun!!
Thanks, Rosa! Yes, reading this definitely counts. Thank you and I hope you’ll come back soon!
