Random Things That Make You Happy Thread

My fish tank.

 

Well too bad... lol


My little sister giving me a plastic rose she bought just for me.

 

I'm feeling somewhat better, I got a 90 on my on-line quiz, and my friends are here. Things are looking up kinda.

 

Soda.

 

Agreed. =]

 

Looking at Metal heads line up in the hundreds waiting for tickets to start up when its 35 degrees(c) outside and they are wearing black AND knowing i have tickets already because my partners brother works their.

 

Absolutely pointless chats with a friend half in Dutch and English... missed those.

 

Good Morning texts from my pre-wife

 

^ Aw


Good morning calls (and much needed wake-up calls) from my bubbs.

 

Decorating the Christmas tree.

When my puppy shows me the new toy she found.

Disney musicals (as opposed to Disney Channel movies).

When the moon looks like it's smiling at me.

Putting a red light behind someone's nose in a picture.

 

Soul, Jazz, and Latin music. Scooters. Fine italianate suits. The mod scene has become more and more alluring the more I find out about it.

 

Mod scene?

 

I find, increasingly, that I enjoy the music and culture of not only the original movement but the two revivals as well. Of course, The Who and The Jam are classic bands, but the suits and italian scooters give the subculture a certain dignity not seen in punk or hard rock, and the association with Jean-Paul Sartre and existentialism is just the cherry on the cake, Sartre being one of my favorite authors.

 

Pushing myself a little bit farther in my run. Did 2.8 mi (4.5 km) without walking today!!

 

Lazy Sundays, watching my favorite little movies. I may be by myself, but it's a damn good day.

Chocolate Rice Krispies

 

Hearing those delectable accents when an Englishman or Australian speaks.

 

That and hearing a Frenchmen speak. They have such wonderful accents.

 

What's YOUR Natural High?

I'm sure something similar in terms of threads has existed before, but...

Is there something you do sometimes that just makes you feel good? Like sports, being with someone you love, writing something you're particularly proud of, anything in general?
(Not some artificial happiness?)

One of my natural highs has to be when I'm in the mountains every fall and we hike this particularly difficult trail that's slick and often times treacherous. But when we get to the top, there is the most spectacular waterfall pounding below this clear firmament of a sky and you feel thousands of miles away from any industrialization.

What's yours?

 

When I'm performing music for people that really seem to enjoy it. Nothing like it.
