Moving to Wordpress

This post is just to say that I've exported all my older posts from this blog and moved them to my new wordpress blog back at my old domain (yay, I finally got it back!). I won't be posting here on blogspot any more, so for future updates, go to: http://www.dcruzin.com

And if you've been wondering what my countdown is all about, you can head over to my new blog and find out!

what makes you happy?

My friend told me about a blog post mentioning this fact:


In their fascinating study “Would you be happier if you were richer?”, published in Science, Princeton professors Alan Krueger and Daniel Kahneman, winner of the 2002 Nobel Prize for his work in behavioral economics, found that perhaps the best indicator of happiness was frequency of eating with friends and family.

While the paper is pretty academic, it does raise some interesting questions for why we (of course I'm included) seem to always be striving for more money. But I think all we're really looking for is love. Not the romantic kind necessarily, but the kind that true friends and family can give you.
