By cautiously eyeing my 'Site-meter' and clicking on a 'link', I see that I am in a 'blog-roll' listed under "Mental Health Blogs".
It is true that the state of non-workingness is the only one in which I find true peace (due in part to extra hours available to adjust fez, chew on pipe, read OK! Canada, etc); I generally recommend that people keep things in perspective and avoid getting in a mardy bate, and am of the opinion that you should not do things that make you unhappy*, but I do not know much about mental health!
Still, it is nice to be 'positioned' as something (as the marketing johnnies say!!!), particularly in this day and age.
* I do not include in this the everyday business of living, e.g. phoning up call centres, paying bills, travelling on the London Underground, noticing that Jeffrey Archer is still alive, etc.

Makes perfect sense - your entire philosophy is basically a self help guide to mental health. Item, adopt non-working mentality; item, acquire fez; item, purchase pipe; item, research legal sources of absinthe...
You are able to explain (in plain English) that the possibility exists that you can work and be non-working or be happy whilst doing things that are not fun. This makes you an expert in mental health.
I think that (in addition to the above being true) you are good for your readers' mental health.
It's the fez. It has a calming effect on your audience.
Or it could be the absinth, I suppose.
Your post reminded me of the trailer for the movie "Towelhead". You can google it and watch the Apple trailer to see what I mean. It will be months before it comes to my town, unfortunately.
