My goddaughter and nephew
Beating my expectations
Seeing a new skyline for the first time
Riding a new roller coaster
Trey - bend and release
People dancing
the cheers theme song
waking up on a saturday late
financial times on my doorstep in the morning
flying over cities at night
new guitar strings
a new invention
a stack of dollar bills
a long bike ride
the feeling of a perfect golf shot or sinking a long birdie putt
beating notre dame in football
a new pair of shoes
windows down and music up
air conditioning on a hot day
cold sheets at night
listening to music in the dark with candles glowing
pre concert buildup

I've come to the realization that moving makes me happy. I get tired of the same shit after three, four months...the same job, the same surroundings. Depression sets in, until I move...then the cycle begins. Most people have this firmly entrenched niche that they fall into. I've yet to find that.

Meeting a new girl that you know is into you
Listening to something you've heard 1000 times and being blown away
Getting off work on friday
Learning a new song on guitar
Basketball season
Football season
A cloudy day with no rain
Being sucked into a book 5 pages in
Pizza
It's always sunny in philadelphia

Leftover restaurant food the next day for breakfast
DMB concerts
Not Another Teen Movie

The feeling of being a winner at anything
Good rounds of golf

my girlfriend

- the excitement of seeing my family after being away for a long time
- Christmas season... everything about it. I could make subcategories
- sitting on a front porch on a perfect or rainy evening
- tailgating and football games
- Fall mornings, when even walking to work is enjoyable
- a great mixtape
- talking to someone new and having that "Oh, me too!" moment
- my Jeep, and riding around with the top & doors off with great music
- the NY Times Weddings & Celebrations section
- traveling anywhere and seeing something new for the first time
- good bar cover bands, cheap drinks, friends and awesomely bad dance moves
- bonfires, always
- traveling by train
- art festivals
- minor league baseball games
- the movie Hoosiers... lots of other movies, too, but that one is home
- bulleted lists

I love a thunderstorm after days of nothing but sun
And learning a new song on guitar

fact: ants members are generally more irritated than happy due to the inactivity of this thread haha.

couple of things that have made me happy lately:

-looking forward to being a homeowner for the first time.

-seeing 2 of my best friends get engaged - they are seriously so perfect for each other and it's disgustingly beautiful

-developing friendships with more people through post-grad life

-Continuing to stay active by playing in rec flag football and basketball leagues

-getting shit hammered on the weekends

-enjoying a friday night to myself, drinking, watching movies and listening to music until 3am.

[bartender_man]

Listening to DMB....Oh wait....Nevermind

[dmbetc]

A new book

[GSUdawg521]

A wedge of cake from the fair

[AlpineValley804]

A great book and doing work that I genuinely enjoy to the point that I want to keep doing it after I'm finished.

[AllifromOhio]

Couple things came to mind:
Finding a great tv show that's already over so I can fly through it.
An empty(people) grocery store.

Hockey season

My amazing 8 month old daughter

In that order

Just kidding

(Except I'm not sure I am)

(Seriously, of course I'm kidding)

Lady in the drive thru in front of me at Arby's paid for my lunch, and had the cashier tell me just because, for karma, etc. Had never had anyone do that. So I paid for the guy behind me too.

Earlier this summer I went to DQ for ice cream and the line was really long. I saw the guy in front of me making eyes at me in his mirrors. I pulled up and the lady handed me my ice cream and said the guy in front of me had already paid. I'll take it.

when you:
- buy the perfect amount of groceries for the week
- watch your favorite team comeback from a loss and win
- eat a tostito from a freshly cracked bag
- put 100 on black and hit
- sleep on the entire flight
- see family and friends after a long period of time away from them
- time something perfectly.. i.e missing the opener(s) and showing up right as the band goes on. and on that note going to any concert
- taking the next day off after a crazy vacation and doing absolutely nothing
- not feeling like crap after a night of drinking
- when plans you weren't excited for fall through
- my cat
- finally see dreaming tree after chasing it for 37 shows
