Our last issue's Happy Ender was riding a yearlong wave of success with his gonzo hit "Happy." This time, we're going with the guy who sings, "Make no mistake, my friend / Your pointless life will end." 30 years into a career that has spawned hundreds of indelible love songs -- most recently on this year's World Peace is None of Your Business -- and some of the most devoted fans in pop, Morrissey is proving that even serious health scares cannot dilute his caustic, life-affirming wit. Here are 10 things that make the boy with the thorn in his side happy.1. Hospital staff saying "You're free to go."
2. Friendships without financial gain.
3. The mental exercise of laughter.
4. Television reporters who do NOT bounce their hands around in order to emphasize their words.
5. People who offer more honesty than most are willing to give.
6. Those who listen instead of merely waiting for a gap to butt in.
7. Showing kindness to animals -- it saves the world.
8. Succeeding after your record label has deliberately dumped you in a ditch.
9. When the day ahead is yours to waste as you wish.
10. Feeling content to just be there.
