Self-Observation

I have noticed that I am an odd one.
I also get more odd in certain situations, around certain people. I generally don't notice that I'm doing it. this time I did. Perhaps it is a childish excitement that overtakes me.

Y1= sin(X^mas)

Or; Christmas and the Sinusoidal Nature of Happiness.

Looking at last years Christmas blog, I have noticed a few things:

Firstly, I was one bleak bastard then.
Secondly, it was not without reason.

I then looked back to a year before that - there was no blog, but I understand the general nature of the time. I was happy then.

Perhaps I was happy then because I had hope, I had chances I even had some things that I would have called 'sure'. Now I lack the sort of sure things but I have more chances than ever, all I have to do is be on top of my game and I'll get by famously. Things now could turn out just like the opportunities that I had before but better in some way. Maybe this bleach leaves these clothes brighter than ever before, let's just hope that it  is colour safe.

I suppose that if you're the sort of person that is into specifics, you would say that this isn't a very good sine curve, because I am not as happy now as I was then. While you may be right, that is not the point - the formula probably changes over time, so a little phase shift is to be expected: maybe I'll even get some positive displacement and amplitude shifting.
