Don't you love this explanation? It's so, so true. This really may be the secret to a happy life after all. Now, go out there and find your warm puppy!! 🙂 Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2010-06-14 15:00:13 Boxid IA1914416 Camera Canon EOS 5D Mark II City San Francisco Curatenote shipped Donor urn:oclc:768808264 Scandate 20110311074729 Scanner scribe7.shenzhen.archive.org Scanningcenter shenzhen Source

Lucy herself is happy with an umbrella and a new raincoat as she walks in the rain or when she is playing with her friends Sally and Marcie in a sandpit... and not fighting while in it! She is also happy when she is sitting in front of a birthday cake with 'lots of candles' - six to be precise, which is okay but the more they get, perhaps the less happy she will be! It's funny because everyone seem to have a very elaborate interpretation of these lyrics, whether it involves drugs, sex, guns/war or all three of them. Mine is actually much simpler, although maybe not as good. Happiness is definitely enjoying one of Charles Schulz' Peanuts' books ... and this one has lots of words of wisdom from members of the gang as to what exactly happiness is.

Success!

And of course this is just my opinion, so, obviously it’s 100% accurate and everyone else is totally wrong….

Have you ever heard of the quote “Happiness is a Warm Puppy” before? If so, have you ever thought of what the quote really means? Peanuts ran for nearly 50 years, almost without interruption; during the life of the strip, Schulz took only one vacation, a five-week break in late 1997. At its peak, Peanuts appeared in more than 2,600 newspapers in 75 countries. Schulz stated that his routine every morning consisted of eating a jelly donut and sitting down to write the day's strip. After coming up with an idea (which he said could take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours), he began drawing it, which took about an hour for dailies and three hours for Sunday strips. He stubbornly refused to hire an inker or letterer, saying that "it would be equivalent to a golfer hiring a man to make his putts for him." In November 1999 Schulz suffered a stroke, and later it was discovered that he had colon cancer that had metastasized. Because of the chemotherapy and the fact he could not read or see clearly, he announced his retirement on December 14, 1999. Listening to this song, especially with the line "Happiness is a warm gun", I felt it was about how you always seem to hurt someone when you're happy. Humans suffer so others can be happy and when it's their turn to be happy, they often make someone else suffer.

This is a terrific book for anyone from 3-up (I'm an adult and I still get a few copies every year and give them out, and I'm always pleasantly surprised by how happy this simple little book can make even the most jaded). As society goes ever-faster down the toilet, as people act now like irresponsible children, there are certain truisms, which held when this little book was first published, as they are today... and will - forever more.

Linus is obviously studious for he is happy with 10 out of 10 for spelling (this reminds me of my first essay at senior school where I made a spelling mistake and had the red 'Sp' marked alongside - and the word I had misspelt, 'misitakes' - well it was appropriate anyway!) or when he is doing a jigsaw and he finds 'the little piece with the pink edge and part of the sky and the top of the boat'; jigsaws can at times be so frustrating! And another happiness for Linus is 'sleeping in your own bed' a sentiment with which I wholeheartedly concur. The man in the crowd with multicolored mirrors on his hobnail boots” is about a Manchester City soccer fan who was arrested for putting mirrors on the toe caps of his shoes to look up girls’ skirts at soccer games. Taylor said the “lying with his eyes while his hands were busy working overtime” came from something he’d “read where a man wearing a cloak had fake plastic hands, which he would rest on the counter of a shop while underneath the cloak he was busy lifting things and stuffing them in a bag around his waist.” Taylor didn’t know where the “soap impression of his wife” line came from, but donating to the National Trust was about people crapping “behind bushes and in old air raid shelters.” Well, here's a great explanation I found from Post Consumers that I really liked (true or not…) and wanted to share with you all! urn:lcp:happinessiswarmp00schu:epub:4a6822ab-a95f-442c-be78-8f1315a01f2c Extramarc OhioLINK Library Catalog Foldoutcount 0 Identifier happinessiswarmp00schu Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t9m33nt71 Isbn 0915696134 Besides, even if you were right, I'm pretty sure John Lennon would not sit there shaking his head and saying "nope nope nope, uh-uh, your totally wrong" if you told him this.


Mother Superior Jump the Gun" is a multi-layered reference literally about a nun having intercourse prior to her death (and not just any nun, the leader of the convent), when she will (according to Catholicism) ultimately be (re)-united with her groom, Jesus. (Nuns wear a wedding ring on their right hand indicating they are "married to Jesus"); however, this is very likely a shot at organized religion by John.In addition, it also talks of her ultimate fate, which is suicide because of her earthly seduction by someone who doesn't love here.

The I-vi-IV-V minor iv chord doo-wop chorus has the same chord progression as the song “This Boy.” The first four measures are in 4/4 time, five through ten being in 6/8 time. When Lennon goes into “when I hold you in my arms” the guitars and voices are singing in 6/8 while Ringo keeps a steady four. The harmonies are clipped and choppy into the climax to the song. Lennon sings the last “gun” in a falsetto that runs out the last two measures. Later that year, Schulz approached the United Feature Syndicate with his best strips from Li'l Folks, and Peanuts made its first appearance on October 2, 1950. The strip became one of the most popular comic strips of all time. He also had a short-lived sports-oriented comic strip called It's Only a Game (1957–1959), but he abandoned it due to the demands of the successful Peanuts. From 1956 to 1965 he contributed a single-panel strip ("Young Pillars") featuring teenagers to Youth, a publication associated with the Church of God.

I spotted this on my shelves and decided to give it another peruse, just to remind myself what Charlie Brown regarded happiness as being and how it compared to my view!

There was always that edge in America – we knew they did have guns,” Starr told Rolling Stone. In October 2015, Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono put out ads saying over 1,100,000 people were killed by guns in the United States since her husband was killed on Dec 8, 1980. The CDC confirmed the number, which included suicides and accidental deaths. Lennon’s recording and drinking buddy Harry Nilsson used to give out boozy kisses at Beatlefests for a dollar he would contribute to gun control efforts. “If everyone who had a gun just shot themselves, there wouldn’t be a problem,” George Harrison once quipped. There are so many things that could be your “warm puppy.” The key is to grab on to those moments and those things and understand the satisfaction of experiencing them instead of allowing yourself to believe that satisfaction is something you constantly have to be acquiring and working towards. Find the satisfaction of enough. Find your warm puppy! Like a lizard on a window pane."
