You should use better examples. Just parsing text that says "I'm so sad", or "I'm happy!" isn't noteworthy.

Unfortunately, Watson's sentiment detection is not capable of anything noteworthy.

Metamind's sentiment analysis tool[1] is probably about the best you can get, especially for short text. Try the "Tweet" version (a tab on that page or available separately[2]).

Sentiment on short text is pretty hard. Metamind claims 81.73%[3], although that appears to be for general text (not just Tweets). Anything above ~70% accuracy would be competitive with the state of the art on Twitter data[4].
