I have a good feeling about...

Ever catch yourself being way too optimistic? For instance, recently I just thought, "Wow, I feel really good about the Bears 2007 NFL draft, they're going to win the Superbowl next year!" Then, you think back on what a stupid statement that is, and no matter how objectively stupid it is, you say to yourself "wow, I still feel good about it anyway!" I rather enjoy that feeling. I'm not sure what one should call it, perhaps "misinformed euphoria" or "hyperbolic optimistic denial"?

What do YOU call those moments where you know for a fact what you just said is probably not true, but you can't help but agree with it since you're infallible?
