things i like about life

*Steam rising out of a fresh cup of coffee
*The clear winter sky, unpolluted by city glow
*Kittens!
*Autumn sunrises
*Chilling with my family on holidays
*The deep shadows of late afternoon
*Sunny blue skies and puddles at my feet on a melting spring day
*The epiphany
*The clean but musty sound of an old piano
*Lazy days in Melville (and the general enthusiasm of the evenings)
*Munching out on freshly-picked peas
*Sex
*The feeling of fulfillment when I do something nice for someone
*The colors we brought here
*Good wine
*Casual parties with the people I care about
*The taste of pot in the summertime
*Video games like Top Gear and Final Fantasy
*Dreams, dreams, the intrigue of dreams
*Going to bed after a long, hard day, complete with intensely mushy pillows, two comforters, and two afghans. ....wait a minute. Is the spelling right on that one? I don't mean to imply that I like going to bed with two....oh never mind.
*My good granny's cooking, it's all good (except when she accidentally puts bleach in the food.........)
*The people, all the people, good and bad and ugly, it's everyone, I even like the rotten ones, for what kind of tale would this be if there wasn't any conflict? If there wasn't something to fight for?

Life is a journey, it's the best fucking pilgrimage ever, and why rush through it, why speed straight toward the destination as if that's the important part, because what then? What when you reach your destination, what do you do, where do you go? You stand around and look like a moron. It's the journey, it's all about the journey.

i'm out.
