Re: The Pleasures of Life Thread

Sitting around the fire, with my closest friends, drinking a cold one..

Hanging out, watching my dad and uncle race at the track.

A cool Saturday night in October/November, in Jordan Hare Stadium.. War Damn Eagle!

Sitting out on the lake in the boat, chasing the trophy bass and drinking a few cold ones..

Spending Saturday evenings wakeboarding, then watching the sun set, while chilling on the dock and in the water..

Completely dominating a workout..

Re: The Pleasures of Life Thread

+ A steamin' hot pizza pie... stretched and made by myself!
+ Beautiful days when me & my fiance' both are off of work and get to enjoy each other's company
+ Picnic with some delicious subs & kettle chips down by the river
+ Spring/summer cookouts with friends & family
+ GRILLING... steaks, burgers, hotdogs, BBQ chicken, kabobs.. can't WAIT!!
+ Playing PS3 after having not done so in a while and just really enjoying the game
+ Spring/summer nights and sitting and relaxing while watching a ballgame
+ Discovering a new band and knowing right off the bat, you're going to be listening to these guys for the next few weeks at least

Awesome thread. I pick out all the bad **** during a day, the stuff that makes me go why do people have to be like this? It's good to sit and think about the GOOD in this world. There's plenty of it, you just have to open your eyes & mind a little bit more.

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 )

Camden Yards at dusk.

Hitting the perfect shot off the tee/spinning the ball back with a wedge/nailing a 25+ foot put.

First Sundays at FedEx field.

Grilling meat.

Any beverage that taste great "on the rocks".

Guys night out.
