We Should All Be So Lucky As To Find Something In This World That Makes Us Happy, Part Two

thumbnail icon: We Should All Be So Lucky As To Find Something In This World That Makes Us Happy, Part Two

It's a difficult world we live in! Even if you do manage to carve out some small corner of your own somewhere, where you can be yourself and enjoy your life, there's someone waiting just on the other side of the door with an axe and a bullhorn. He is going to shout in your face and tear your house down! You know how the world is. It's important to fight for what you want, because you are rarely allowed to just have it. Defend your home. Ignore the "haters." It's no one else's life! Who is anyone to say anything! Go for it!

All of that being said, when your tiny corner of genuine happiness involves dressing up like Sailor Moon and playing frantic nightmare videogame bass in between drinking glasses of milk, and then posting videos of all of this to YouTube because extroversion is part of it, the harder of a row you are going to have to hoe. But hoe away!

Dude has 30 videos. How many videos do you have of LIVING THE DREAM? (Via BuzzFeed.)

I concur. At first, there's the initial shock of "holy shit, why would anyone ever do this?", but it subsides and transforms into "holy shit, he's the only guy on earth who is doing this... AND POSTING IT ON YOUTUBE". Kudos, hjfreaks.

A film called The Black Dhalia, which was featured on this very site as a nominee for Worst Movie of All Time. The gif presumably created by Gabe, was first presented in said post and has since been used in several others to become somewhat of a running gag.

And knowing is half the battle.

All of my living the dream involves my being chained in a birdcage made of PVC while dressed like Quetzalcoatl and listening to a mix tape made of alternating cuts of Kimberley Locke's 8th World Wonder and Raffi's Robin in the Rain in the pitch black of a cave about 15 miles outside of town which is fundamentally UNFILMABLE.

Your living dream started out pretty darned lofty; what with, the PVC and the bird cage. However, you really next leveled that shit with the dressing like Quetzalcoatl, listening to Rafi and then doing it all inside a dark cave.

Your dreams just shot beyond the stars! You know, to that place between stars...

P.S. You're avatar is my living dream.

This may be the closest non-nude equivalent to 2 Girls 1 Cup out there. It's probably the most sexual-psychologically scarring brainfuck you can get without one instance of naked wee-wees that would deem it unsafe for YouTube. It takes you on an amazing journey of baffling WTFitude up to the point that dressing up in a girl's ballet outfit and fondling one's armpits is the most accessible part by comparison.
