Simple pleasures

Yes, yes, this is the stuff.
It's pretty cold out today… was 45 when I was out applying Rain-x to the windows on the car. So I came in and made a bowl of noodles — Sapporo Ichiban, just like in the picture there. I think that was some of the first solid food I ever ate, so that means I've been eating the stuff for … 30+ years? (sweet fucking god…). And the stuff tastes great, just like it did when I was a kid. It's comfort food. So I got thinking, what are the little things that make me happy? Here's an incomplete list:

• Sapporo Ichiban (orignal flavor)
• A good pair of Levi's
• Fresh sheets
• The way things smell after it rains
• A soft, warm blanket
• A comfortable, worn pair of boots
• Thunder and lightning
• Hot, fresh pizza from Flying Pie
• Staying up till sunrise playing video games
• Hearing from old friends
• Good, long hugs
• Holding hands
• Pay day
• The first day of the NFL
• Brilliant sunsets
• Falling asleep/waking up next to someone you love
• Dogs that smile
• Purring cats
• Care packages from home
• Japanese green tea
• The Pacific Ocean
• Listening to music on the $2,000 surround sound
• Writing
• Conversation
• Sleeping in
• Star gazing

That's it for now. Time for work, dammit.
