Re: The Pleasures of Life Thread
Definitely. The new Busch, while great, has a good, but different smell to it. Probably because you can get more than beer, hotdogs, soda, nachos, popcorn, and peanuts. Old Busch smelled like baseball heaven.
As for the topic at hand, here are a few that came to mind:
- Taking a road trip in the middle of summer and hitting the open prairie, windows down, going 70 MPH without another car in sight.
- Making my wife laugh
- Learning a new song on the guitar (or any instrument)
- Looking through a telescope and seeing the moons of Jupiter...makes you feel small
- BBQing on a summer day with Mike Shannon calling the game on the radio
- Going to sleep with freshly cleaned sheets on a well made bed
- Sleeping on Saturday afternoons because you're bored
- Turning someone else on to the music, tv show, movie, book, etc. that you like
- Listening to a CD you haven't heard in a long time and hearing it like it was the first time
- The first Ted Drew's frozen custard of the summer (St. Louis thing)
- Having someone tell you that you are doing/did a great job at something
- Staring at the sky in the middle of nowhere late at night
- Standing on the edge of the water on the east coast and realizing there is no land between you and Europe
- Fireworks on the 4th of July
- Finding $ on the ground
- Being shocked at the ending of a movie, tv episode, etc. John Locke was in a wheelchair? Bruce Willis as dead the whole time? ZOMGZ
- Day drinking
- Hearing birds chirping when you wake up in the morning
- Learning something new and then having it come up in conversation a week later
- Trying a new restaurant and loving it. And then telling the owner you're glad you found the place.
- Counting down to release date for a game, taking the day off, buying it, unwrapping when you get home, then reading the instruction booklet before playing for the first time (I usually do my instruction booklet reading on the "throne" but that's just me
)
