I strongly believe that you should do whatever makes you happy. I think people tend to underestimate the practical value of being happy. I tend to be much more creative and energetic when I'm happy. I also feel that being happy makes me a better influence on the people around me.

I'm also going to point you to http://www.paulgraham.com/todo.html. I think that essay is very applicable to living life well.
