things that you really like, or make you feel good

meth is soooooo fun, but yes it is soooooo evil and bad.  the good doesn't outweigh the bad, unfortunately.

you know what else i like?  when you're walking down the street, and you catch someone's eye, and you smile, and they give you back a big surprised smile because they're not used to people smiling at them.  

I live in DC and it can be a very unfriendly city at times.  People are all self-important and busy, so when you walk around they try not to notice you.  I make an effort to walk with my head up and smile at everyone that walks by, and it usually works.  The best people though are always old ladies and little kids, they always seem genuine.

hiking.  there's nothing better than being out in the middle of the woods, not hearing any other human, no lawnmowers, no planes, nothing, and just enjoying the songs of the birds, the wildflowers (in springtime, anyway), and whatever else might present itself on such an adventure.

me too... and just being out in the clean, fresh air. everything smells so much better out in the wilderness

what's making me happy at the moment (& keeping me together) is planning my trip. i think just the huge potential for amazing experience and new places has me on a kind of a high.... i just love it.

people should smile more at each other. i moved out of the way for a cyclist this morning, he shot me this huge grin & said thanks! for such a little thing, that cost me nothing, and i got a big smile in return...

there should always be someone to give you a big hug when you most need it...

Roy Halladay rounding into his Cy Young form from two years ago.

If Edmonton beats San Jose tonight, I'll be pretty damn happy.

Barry Bonds still one homerun behind Babe Ruth makes me really happy.

I'm heading to France on Friday, which pleases me, but, I'm going to miss the hockey World Championships.

Seeing one of the all time greatest bands on June 9th, Television, will make me very happy.

Sometimes I help out in special ed. classes and today I got to take the kids to art class.  Seeing kids light up while working on their projects is pretty awesome.  One girl told me, "I'm glad you're here today.  Now you can see how creative I can be."  Awww.  She rules.  She even drew me some spirographed sea turtles.

In more recent news, my dog is a sissy and follows me around during thunderstorms.  Big storm tonight, so... he fell asleep on the chair next to me..  while listening to At Dawn.  

:)

spirographed sea turtles.  holy moly.

My 22-month old son hurt himself the other day.  He came running into the room shouting, "My bottom! My bottom!"  

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"Kiss it!" he demanded.

---
also, he likes to sing "Chantilly Lace" right now.  And he knows all the words.  And it reminds him of the kindergarten-aged girl next door, whom I think he has a crush on.

and you should hear him sing "Old Sept.  Blues"

Does anyone here know what I'm talking about when I say the smell of fireflies/lightning bugs?

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

Does anyone here know what I'm talking about when I say the smell of fireflies/lightning bugs?

I know exactly what that is.  Thanks for that, I'm thinking of pine trees and early morning hikes after a long night of camping under the stars and watching the bristling twinkles of a billion fireflies and their distinct smell.  ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[corey]

Are you talking about the semen trees? Has anyone ever smelled those?

[ratsprayer]

semen stains the mountaintop.

[NJ2KY]

Are you talking about the semen trees? Has anyone ever smelled those?

yeah buddy, but i always called them cum trees.

[marktwain]

This is the first time I've heard of a semen tree, and I hope to never meet one.

don't worry, they don't spit at you or anything, but if you ever walk past a tree and smell jizz'um in the air, then my friend, you may have found yourself a cum tree.

[sweatboard]

I've got this horrible image of someone sawing one down.  It's not pretty.

[banjohead]

Scrotums hanging from tree branches. Primushead knows all about this one. Oh the mental images you get when you pass a road called "Ball Branch"

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

I had a classmate in school whose name was Paul Ball.  

Guess what his dad's name was?
















Harry Ball.
Their mailbox read "The Balls Family"
Harry Ball.
Harry Fucking Ball.  That used to crack me up.

[ratsprayer]

in high school, there was a dude whose name was Harry Stemm.

wot were his parents thinking?

[EC]

We have a Ball on this board!  His name is not Harry, though.  Oh my god.  I have a friend whose name is John Thomas.  Actually I used to work with him, and we had another dude there whose name was Peter Long.

No lies.  

I'm not too upset that this thread has degenerated into more talk about cock.  It fits, for me anyhow, with the subject line.  And maybe for some of you, also. ;)

I really enjoy misty rain.  It's been like that all day.  It reminds me of camping and Scotland.

[NJ2KY]

a quick shout out to EC!

In high school the names of my friend's parents were Luba (mom) and Peter (dad), so we used to run around the house yelling LUBA PETER!  maturity is so overrated.
