Happy-Go-Lucky: Carefree or untroubled.
An interesting turn of a phrase. Are we to assume that you have to be lucky to be happy? That you have to go someplace, get lucky, then you'll be happy? I like Devil-May-Care, too. That's more along the lines of "Go screw yourself because I'm going to do whatever I want." What if the devil does indeed care? There's an ominous taint to that.
I think I'm a devil-may-care guy. Happy go lucky- not so much.
I don't get people who are untroubled in their minds. It makes ABSOLUTELY no sense to me. I assume that they're lying. I mean you can't come up with something to worry about? That's fucked up. Give me 10 minutes and I guarantee I can infect your untroubled mind with something poisonous.
The point is that while I'm kinda joking here I realize that I'm a long way from happy-go-lucky. I don't have the constitutional makeup to breeze through life. I'm always going to be fighting it, to some degree, swinging back at whoever's swinging at me. I'm like a dynamite truck driver. I've learned how to slow down and check my mirrors when I'm backing up but I still have a truck full of dynamite.
