Something to be Happy About

Starbucks shut down 7,100 stores! But it was only for 3 hours... The coffee giant decided that this would be the best way to re-train 135,000 of it's employees... at one time. "Part back-to-basics tutorial, part pep rally, the teach-in aimed to reacquaint baristas with the art of pulling the perfect shot of espresso and steaming milk so the velvety foam that tops a latte has just the right thickness." Many rivals offered special deals during those 3 hours, in fact, Caffe Vita Coffee Roasting Co., gave away free espresso drinks, celebrating how skilled their baristas are and the consistent flavor of their coffee.

Not happy enough? Do you want to live in a place where you can never grow up? If so you can buy Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch! Thats right, many parents will be sleeping better now that the property is up for auction. The private theme park has been basically closed since 2005, but will be on the chopping block March 19. Winner of the auction will recieve: all personal property inside, all fixtures and appliances, furniture, and all merry go round type devices, rides, and games. "The auction literally includes every single thing that is or isn't nailed down." The creepy part most people never knew... it also includes a great view of the prep school directly across the street from the ranch.

Still not happy? Try sugar. MSNBC Reports that antidepressants work no better than placebos. The study, determined therapy and exercise work well as does giving people pills of sugar. "There is little reason to prescribe new-generation antidepressant medications to any but the most severely depressed patients unless alternative treatments have been ineffective." So people are overly medicated in order for drug companies to make a profit... I'm not sure where the news is here, we all already knew this.
