    Default little things you love :)

    I've almost broken my addiction the the Backroom, which is filled with hate, malice, spite, and nonsensical arguments. It feels good you know, to voice your opinions that don't mean Kenny Rogers' vomit-soaked flannel shirt to anyone else. So back to where I started:

    I love sitting down with a good book, turning on some good music, and just chillaxing

    CHOCOLATE, the higher the cocoa content, generally, the better.

    I miss the swiss cake rolls of the states, and the mountain dew, but one thing that is certainly much, much better is the CHOCOLATE!

    No longer do I have to rely on Lindt, which I could ironically only buy in Walgreens, or Ghirardelli which isn't as good as Lindt, IMO. Must experiment more with CHOCOLATES here than I have.

    That thing she does with her tounge
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    My 6 month old laughing.

    Chocolate... prefer cadburys milk chocolate but will eat any chocolate... mind you 99% cocoa is a bit bitter.

    Hot Shower... really makes up for a bad day. When I was in gold exploration at the end of the day I would slop off my clothes, open a can of beer and stand under the shower... slightly dehydrated meant that the beer went straight to my muscles and had a very soothing effect much more effectively then normal.

    Basic fresh food. Fresh good product beats fancy food that uses poor ingredients or lacks any quantity to feed anyone bar a model or a rabbit. Mind you a combination of quality ingredients in quantity cooked with delight to a simple or complex receipe is a thing to love.

    Debating. Just not maths.

    And like you I love the Redwings (do want to have Nick Lidstroms love child too?)

    I love going walking in the rolling green hills of Lincolnshire.

    However, nothing, and I mean nothing, gives me a greater sense of contentment than sitting down at the table working on a model airplane whilst listening to cricket on the radio.

    You'll be back. It is one of those little things you love, admit it...

    A little thing I love is opening a new book on current affairs and domesticating it in my own way, familiarising myself with its table of contents, its composition, the author's choice of sources, marking important aspects in the margin. Flipping the pages, inhaling that bookish smell of ink and freshly glued pages.

    Now a novel is a different animal altogether. I treat it with respect, starting on page one, never skipping a chapter or passage, and never using a marker on the text or in the margin. And if I think it is bad, I don't throw it away but give it to someone else who might enjoy it.

    Even when I used to post there, I found it was like a car pile-up on the motorway....horrible to look at but I couldn't turn my eyes away. I didn't like what it did to me either. It made me petty and small minded, and I wouldn't be able to sleep at night for thinking about arguments I'd gotten into in the Backroom.

    Occasionally I go back, but I only have to read a thread or 2 to remember why I left. I see the same old faces arguing about the same stuff. More to the point, people no longer debate the subject it just becomes "you would say that, you're a rightie" to which the retort is "you would say that, you hate america" to which the reply is "link" which is then dismissed as a biased source coming from the Guardian website. Repeat as nauseum.

    Thanks, but no thanks.

    I understand. When it gets under your skin and you can't sleep over it, you are right to kick the habit.

    Back to enjoyable little things. Falling asleep with the radio playing, that was a long while ago. I used to do that as a student from time to time, listening to the BBC World Service. They used to have English, French and German language services in my zone, so I would hear the same items in three languages which was a godsend for a language fetishist like me. Sweet dreams/süsse Träume/douces rêves.

    Oui, je comprends. I never fell asleep listening to music, except once in a while listening to classical on CBC Radio 2. It was always while listening to talk radio, the good intellectual stuff CBC Radio 1 has on at night.

    Looking at the backwaters of the internet on a warm summers day, with the window open so i can hear the birds singing their songs, plotting humanity's doom.

    The way girls who you know like you take quick glances at you.

    Fragging dozens of people on counter strike.

    Waking up at midday.

    Clutter.

    Gazing out the window on a sunny day, watching the world go by, while my computer downloads something in the background.

    Spending hours downloading something, then the feeling of happiness once it finishes.

    The solitude of my room.

    I love far too many little things. I guess it shows i appreciate life!

    I love...

    Ice cream,

    Laying on my bed, listening to Dark Side of the moon with a couple of friends whilst playing on Smackdown vs Raw 2006 (wrestling games are so funny),

    Myself (its important to love yourself if others dont :D)

    Pink Floyd

    sleeping in on sundays

    Love (you gotta love love)

    Classic Rock, from the late 50's to early 80's is classic

    Gah! so i love alot of things....I'm the jolly old santa type
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    Waking up in the night after having felt that you have slept for a long time, then look at the clock and see that you still have three hours until you have to get up.

    Sleeping until eleven o'clock, get up and eat a leisurely breakfast on the terrasse with the soft early summer sun shining and a cool breeze blowing.

    The sound of doves cooing.

    Sitting down to write at the computer and the words just flow out of you beautifully.

    Walking out of school when it's the weekend/holiday.

    Lying in bed reading a really good book all day.

    So many that I'd count for hours. How happy for one that can create causes for happiness through "little" things.

    Listening to the morning ezan,

    hearing raindrops trickle on the window while drinking a hot cup of tea,

    carressing a kitty that fell asleep on your laps are the first ones I can come up with right now. As I said there are so many.

    i loved the way my grandmothers house smelled when she was alive, like apple and cinnamons, made your mouth water just entering....

    the smell of a campfire..

    sunrises and sunsets in the mountains, everything is just brighter and clearer during those times.

    the smell just before a fresh snow storm, it just smells clean..

    theres lots more but im to tired to post em.
