Re: The Pleasures of Life Thread

Dreams you can control.

I don't mean dreams in a goal sense. I mean actual dreams you have when sleeping. It rarely ever happens to me, but it's fun when you have those types of dreams where you're aware of it being a dream and all, and can actually control what happens in it. Anything is possible during a dream and anything can appear/disappear just like that.

Lucid dreams.

Anticipation/build up for something.

At times, I often find myself liking the hype of something more than the actual thing itself. Whether it be a holiday/vacation, show/game, event/party, or something along those lines. Cause for multiple days(maybe even weeks) you'd have that in the back of your mind and will be looking forward to it.

Pacing.

Don't know why, but I always just randomly pace at times if I'm thinking while standing up(not in public,but just if I'm at home or something). lol, sometimes I want to carry around one of those step clicker things that counts how many steps you take, just to see how much I actually do pace.


Though when I do pace, I actually do start thinking alot about random stuff. Ironically, it's actually abit relaxing even though I'm probably walking around for who knows how long without even realizing it.

Did you have trouble at school being tethered to a desk? I ask this as an elementary teacher. Some kids need to move; tethered to a desk is a cell.

No, though those school chairs aren't the best to sit on for long periods of time. After all, who wants to sit on small,hard plastic chairs for an entire class? If it's a comfortable enough chair, I can sit on it for long time.

These were the worst things to sit on! So uncomfortable! Especially in winter time when there's so much static and you get shocked so often on those things.

The Pleasures of Life Thread

I get to see NYC, Raleigh, New Hampshire, Utah, Virginia, and Denver this year. We hit about an expo a month as part of my job. And when I say job, I use the term loosely because I'm in a business that mixes work with play quite literally (toys!).

Best part is I get to bring someone with me, expenses paid. I'm taking my best friend to the West Coast because he's never been, my wife to the South (well as far south as we've ever been), my Dad to Virginia, and one of my longtime friends/now co-worker to NYC and Denver, which is over his birthday.

May have just pulled in a large sale too, which equals a fat commission check and our business continuing to grow. Trying not to count my chickens before they hatch.

But damn! Sometimes I just am at a loss for words for where I was, where I am, and where I'm going. Moves me to tears almost.

I don't think this is a pleasure of life, but rather life that brings the pleasure. The journey, every day. I would never have been able to appreciate today without going through all those yesterdays.

My pleasure of life is as pure as anything in this world, the giggling sounds from my two sons and when they both come running to greet me when I come home from work!

One of the best feelings in the world.

Oh boy do I miss that (son's now in college, daughter in 8th grade). I used to say I was living the 'good ol days' right then. You are living in the 'good ol days' right now. Enjoy, it goes so quickly.

Yup, I love it because I can't even see him (my son) yet, but can hear him giggling as i go through the door - and he comes running around the corner.

I've got another son on the way, so I can't wait till it is double the pleasure (of life)

Long weekends in which other people you know also get it off. Doesn't have to lead to going anywhere, just getting to have that 1 extra day off, so Saturday and/or Sunday everyone can do stuff, without having to rush through the weekend is nice to have.

Not having to rush in the shower and just enjoying the hot water. Always a great way to start the morning.

Cup of coffee and a good book accompany me toilet side while the shower water warms up. No better way to start the day.. Good place to play the harmonica too.

When a good book really gets good.

I'm 2/3's of the way through A Clash of Kings and **** is popping off left and right.
