+1 - not normally concerned when celebrities croak but jeez...

-Women! What can you say? Who made 'em? God must have been a fuckin' genius. The hair... They say the hair is everything, you know. Have you ever buried your nose in a mountain of curls... just wanted to go to sleep forever? Or lips... and when they touched, yours were like... that first swallow of wine... after you just crossed the desert. ****. Big ones, little ones, nipples staring right out at ya, like secret searchlights. Mmm. Legs. I don't care if they're Greek columns... or secondhand Steinways. What's between 'em... passport to heaven. I need a drink. There's only two syllables in this whole wide world worth hearing: *****.

My guess is that if you mention this story to your wife, she will respond by saying that girls who looked like that in college are all fat now.

I am sorry to never have met old TS.

I'd also like to add...putting down your pencil at the end of your last exam for the semester, which I will be doing in about 2 hours time

Edit, well a few more I thought about this morning-
-seeing an exotic car out on the street
-being in love with someone who loves you back

-seeing an impeccably dressed man
-having someone compliment you on your clothes
-watching a flight leave on time, knowing you were a part of it
-hearing a Powercall or Q siren on a firetruck (it's a firefighter thing I guess, haha)

It's a sad commentary on the airline industry that this is viewed as something to rejoice over.

The crisp feeling of a new pair of socks.

Strawberries.

Fresh limes.

Being able to take the Eurostar instead of the plane. In fact, most alternatives to taking the plane.

Not at all. There is nothing wrong with pride in one's occupation; it's far better than being miserable everyday you go to work.

And since this is the Happy Thoughts thread: don't worry, be happy

Jon.

Making imageWIS laugh.

Showing pictures of new purchases to all my e-friends.

 

[kronik]

Getting a classic insult in on someone over the intrawebs.

I could really do this all day. There's so much to be grateful for in this world. That perfect hammer strike - when you hit the nail and it drives almost its whole length with one fell swoop. That's great (and unfortunately for me and my left thumb, rare) The quiet stillness of a city at 4:00am. Candlelight service on Christmas Eve - a church full of people, lit only by candles, singing "Silent Night" The wind rustling through the forest at night - especially in one of the palm forests in florida. The fronds make quite a nice racket Babies dancing Sprinting - full speed, feeling your body work as it's supposed to. Purposely fishtailing around a corner - just a little, not enough to really lose control, but enough to put a little edge into the evening commute The way a woman will walk away from you when she knows you're watching, that little extra sway in ther hips and ass The smell of rain Wearing leather soled shoes and running and sliding on the office carpet Out west - watching a storm roll in from the canadian rockies and over the plains, the lightning, the miles-high stack of clouds, it's awesome, especially when that first blast of wind hits, letting you know what's about to come. That little flash of warmth in your chest after a shot of liquor Church service at a black church - the songs and the people singing them reflect such a joy - the songs are all about being thankful and grateful in the face of misery and despair - and the passion with which they're sung reflect many things right about faith, faith in whatever you believe. Snowboarding - which for me is going as fast as I can and trying to prolong the inevitable painful collision. The recklessness and vitality is great. Making your parents laugh . Jumping into water so cold you get a brain freeze from getting it in your mouth.

+ cold beer in a hot shower, especially after a day of skiing.
+ cool side of the pillow
+ large breasts on thin body

- good coffee in paper cups. For some reason I love that-- especially if it is the peel back top kind.
- finding your "rythm" on a long bike ride or run where your brain no longer cares about pain or fatigue and you know you can keep going forever.
- putting on a crisp shirt back from the dry cleaner or that you ironed perfectly
- skiing. I seriously love everything about it.
- sitting back at the end of a 12 hour day.
- the feeling AFTER you know your bills are paid for the month
- Browsing through the bike store/ ski shop even if I don't buy anything
- sex
- kisses

 

[JetBlast]

-Watching a good thunderstorm
-Taking pictures and getting a few unexpectedly good ones
-Seeing an airplane-load of soldiers arriving at the airport back in the US from Iraq kissing the ground at their feet
-A good steak
-Bacon (did I say this one already? Ah well)
-Waking up early on your day off and realizing you can just go back to bed again

This is a great thread, lol.

And a personal favorite of mine that I've been thinking of now that it's effing freezing in Annapolis- clear summer nights down by the water, on a swing, with my iPod. It's bliss I tell you

on the first day of my aerodynamics class, my professor walked in and said he doesn't fly because he knows it's not safe. It's freaked us all out.

-Trying to be like all of those Internet Gentlemen
-A gin & tonic on a hot summer's day. 10x better if you're wearing pastel linen trousers (pink and lime green are the best choices).

Hiking in the woods at night, full moon, winter. All the wildlife's out, any people that were there are gone, and the moonlight and stars are just incredible. You have to focus more on navigating but the experience is incredible. The night and the cold (dipped below freezing last night) makes everything seem so still, yet all the animals are out. I went last night and it was great.
