Things that make you Happy (2 Viewers)

[Poker Zombie]

After posting in jbutler's Things that are Bullshit thread, I spent the next 15 minutes muttering over how this thing or that thing was bullshit (milk going sour before expiration, back pain, going for one last sip of coffee only to find out you're empty, and whoever emptied the pot couldn't take the time to make new coffee). Normally I just get over it, but after that thread, everything was burning me to the core.

So to counterbalance, I give you the Things that make me Happy thread.

I'll start with:

• New chip pr0n
• Invoices from CPC
• That "heavy for it's size" MFR Box on your doorstep
• When the first cars arrive on a poker night

There's much more, but I'll let your brains stew on the happy for a while...

• That "heavy for it's size" MFR Box on your doorstep

I've heard that twice from the mailman, lol.

• New chip pr0n

• Invoices from CPC

• That "heavy for it's size" MFR Box on your doorstep

• When the first cars arrive on a poker night

all these can easily go on my list.

• Seeing a perfectly executed backdoor alley oop dunk
• Pitching a second card from one end of the table to the other and sliding it right under the first one you dealt
• The sound of a frisbee hitting the middle of the chains on a 15 ft birdie putt
• The steady pull on your fishing rod that tells you the hook is set
• Restacking chips after you score a monster pot
• Cutting two pieces of wood and having the gap disappear when they slide together
• The moment when my sail boat settles in to the new speed after an ease-hike-trim for a gust
• Making old friends laugh with the same jokes
• Seeing the temperature gauges start to drop during the first atmospheric reentry of new ship in Kerbal Space Program
• When the first bite of something you've never cooked before is better than you expected

I agree with most of the above but first and foremost is waking up on the correct side of grass every morning.

So excited to be heading out camping tonight. Definite thumbs up on those items.

EDIT: Going to be a new moon tonight though. Hopefully some good meteor watching skies at least.

* Getting chips
* Getting laid
* Getting my stack in with the nuts
* Making people laugh
* Making people give me a look of "wtf is wrong with you?"
* Riding down the long escalator at the Taj, then walking into the poker room (hope to do that again someday)
* Re-racking my chips at the end of a home game and realizing that none of these grimey motherfuckers stole any [emoji14]
* My wife, dogs, nature, good weather, and all the other boilerplate shit I'm obligated to say (I kid, these make me the happiest)
