One last thing I want to address is that some people seem to expect that I should be feeling sad or depressed right now, as if that’s my solemn duty as a guy who’s going through a divorce. Apparently I’m supposed to be miserable since that’s what divorcing people do to themselves. At the very least, I’m supposed to feel bad for my kids and the wretched existence they’re about to endure. To anyone who thinks that way, the best reply I can offer is, “Please remove thine head from thine arse.” A conscious separation is a very different experience than one filled with animosity and resentment.
There have been a few sad days in the past weeks, but overall I’m feeling immensely happy. If you see that as a betrayal of reality, of Erin, or of my children, that’s your business, but please don’t foist it on me as if it’s my business too. Rest assured I won’t be joining you in such foolish nonsense. I see no reason to wallow in negativity during this time when I’m perfectly capable of creating the emotions I want to experience — especially joy, abundance, bliss, excitement, and gratitude.

Wait for it....wait for it...negative comments in 5...4..3....
I don't think you're "supposed" to feel that way. I'm pretty sure it just happens to most people.
If I didn't feel sad about losing an intimate relationship with someone I loved for years, I'd probably see that as a litmus for examining myself.
I mean, I'm all aboard the "Joy" train, but I really don't see how you could face a loss without a period of sadness (note: not depression, sadness). And someone who faces a situation such as this without facing those emotions is someone I pity moreso than admire.
But enough about that noise. Your emotions are you own personal business, but I thought I'd comment on that because you made it seem like some great achievement or something. *shrugs*
I'll be interested to hear about the DVDs and how they turn out.
