Centuries-old cultural conditioning has given us a nasty neurosis: the belief that happiness must be "earned". Laid on top of the first neurosis is the idea that spending money will make you happy.

Why trying to stop anxious thoughts doesn’t work What? Amanda Jane Jones: My Better Half. I've only met Naomi and Andy Martin once in my lifetime. It was Halloween, 2008. Cree was dressed as an accountant and I was his frumpy secretary (giant glasses, a dress with a doily collar and a gallon of hairspray).

We were attending a late night showing of Vertigo and ran into them as we were leaving the theater. I was so self-conscious about my attire, that's honestly all I remember....well that and the fact that I thought they were both pretty rad. Cree and Naomi were long time friends from school, so I've had the pleasure of getting to know Naomi through her oh so funny/sweet blog and g-mail. She is such a witty writer—every email exchange and post is a treat. My fingers are crossed the next time we bump into these two, there will be less hairspray involved....for both our sakes.

Please scroll down below to learn more about them, their music, and their life in Philadelphia, and be sure to follow the links! Thank you Naomi and Andy for being a part of My Better Half! ANDY1.
