What gets your heart racing?

[kwilkinson]

Great books.
The look on somebody's face when they try a new food they've never had before and realize it's incredible.
The first moment seeing Lish after a few weeks or a month apart.

putting $100 down on a hand of blackjack at casino gets my heart goin pretty good!

Some paintings, sometimes. Most memorable is Eakins' portrait of his wife at the Met. Only once, though, every other time I hardly looked.

Certain passages in books.

Certain pens.

Was in the passenger seat with my girl when a helicopter went by... she liked the sound of things and seeing lights whizzing by so she was looking through the sunroof. However, she did not notice that the cars ahead had come to a grinding halt. I yelped out STOP and she did... about 5 cm from the car in front. This certainly got my heart racing.

Excellent DJ'ing

More than 5 cups of coffee per day

That's about it.

A delicious sandwich or burrito.

A great cookie.

An ice cold Coke when I'm craving it.

Hitting the high 20s on the Northway.

nothing really gets my heart racing more then a situation where i think im going to have to fight or defend myself/someone etc. lets say a situation where im in a bar and someone is doing something to me or my friend where i feel ill have to fight even though i dont really want to, my heart really starts beating and it really doesnt get like that for anything else.

A very poignant part in a good book or movie.

A great wine or Scotch.

Achieving a long term goal.

Every time I see my wife.

I speak the truth. After 11 years as a couple (but most of it living in sin), she still has that effect on me. I can't imagine being with someone, for so long, that couldn't do that to you.

Watching a putt inch ever closer to the cup from 55 feet back

My heart is racing right now as I down the last of this bottle of Tanqueray, as Tina doing "Nutbush City Limits" live from London (1998) blares in the background, and as I think about the big bowl of cereal i will consume in a few minutes or in the morning.

RACE ON, MY HEART!
