<p>But enough babble.  My recent brush with coincidence has led to a website called <a href="http://www.morenewmath.com/">New Math</a>, and it&#8217;s just chock full of life&#8217;s equations, all of them far cooler than my happiness quotient from my last post.  That&#8217;s saying a lot, because I think pretty highly of my happiness quotient.</p>
<p>My path to New Math was via another very cool blog-ish entity called <a href="http://www.soulpancake.com/view_post/228425/challenge--math---numbers.html">Soul Pancake</a>.  Also worth checking out.  This dude seems to be tackling life&#8217;s big questions in quite the intriguing and sophisticated fashion.  Wonder what his formula for happiness would be.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Twenty-six years of rigorous research have finally come to fruition.  How happy I am on a given day is indeed derivable.  Considering my happiness quotient on a scale of 1-30, with 1 being too sad to face the world and 30 being ecstatic as a European soccer star after a hat trick, the formula looks a likah dis:</p>
<div id="attachment_58" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 440px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-58" href="http://natedennehy.com/blog/2009/04/happy/happiness1/"><img class="size-large wp-image-58" title="happiness" src="http://natedennehy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/happiness1-1024x352.jpg" alt="happiness quotient" width="430" height="148" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">happiness quotient</p></div>
<p>In conversation yesterday, while delineating my theory to a confidante, a question I had not yet pondered came to light.  What happens to the formula if I find myself whistling <em>while </em>solo kitchen dancing?  I fear the very foundations of our universe could come undone in the face of such unstable glee, but as I take it upon myself to answer the hard questions in life, I intend to set myself to the task of this new derivation for the next twenty-six years.</p>
