    The Pleasures of Life Thread

    The Pleasures of Life Thread is a place where you can post what you believe to be pleasurable. (duh) What I'm aiming at here is an exact opposite of the "You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?" thread.

    Even though this world is full of mean, nasty things, there are some instances in life that are sublime. So, what makes you happy? What makes your day?


    Some examples...

    Snow Days.

    Winning more that what you paid for on a lottery ticket.

    The Red Bull guy that comes around campus every so often.

    Hitting a home run.

      Rainy days when you don't need to do anything productive and can take naps, play video games, etc.

        When you think "I have seen #### movie in a while" and it comes on TV that day.

            And just for the sake of stating it, let's keep this clean, just so there isn't gonna be "that guy".

            Definitely rain
            great defensive play in The Show
            cold, dreary weather in general
            delicious food
            above all else is good humor, the greatest joy of my life is making someone laugh, because that means that I made their day better, even if just for a few seconds.

                  Hearing my kids say I love you daddy

                  seeing my wife smile

                  a warm spring afternoon at the beach

                  a day at the racetrack enjoying a good race

                  a summer night at the baseball park taking in a game

                  going for a drive on a warm cloudless day with the windows down and the top open

                      Snowboarding, especially first runs on fresh powder.
                      I've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!

                          He's right, waking up next to his wife every morning IS fun.

                          For me, it's a really good food or beverage. Something so good it takes me by surprise.
