Gummi Bears and Sour Worms

Once again, I am listing things that make me happy. Some people might wonder why I take time to do this. If you are one of those people, try it. Then you will understand.

1) Babies. Brand new babies are wonderful reminders of what we are trying so hard to become. No, we aren't all trying to be babies. We are all trying to be as pure and loving as babies. Also, we are trying to identify all unknown objects by sticking them in our mouths.

2) Gummi anything. In particular, the worms and bears. I love them. They are little translucent blobs of tasty happiness. They can dance for you, you can make movies out of them...You can eat them. You can stick them to windows and make stained glass...they are perfect foods.

3) Whenever people I know and like get married to other people I know and like. I would say weddings in general, but we have all experienced those weddings where we don't approve of one or the other participant. But those unions that seem to be perfect are moments totally isolated from the minor irritations of life. Moments totally focused on two peoples entrance into a whole new realm of happiness. Cool...

4) My new Zune. Excuse me...my old, once broken, once repaired Zune. Regardless, it is being kind to me. It seems to have gay days now and then where it only plays fruity dance pop, but, generally it has good taste.

5) I have discovered that the key to happiness is waking up early and going to bed early. I only hope I can discover the secret of doing this during school....

6) Chicken. 'Nuff said.

7) There is nothing more surprisingly refreshing than a helpful and friendly customer service representative. These people are often cranky and unkind. So the cheerful ones can't help but lift spirits.

8) Friends who put up with your weird moods. Friends who don't make dirty jokes. Friends who get your jokes. Friends who buy you lunch. Friends who laugh when you act stupid. Friends who dance when y ou sing jibberish songs. Friends who inspire you to be less wicked.

9) Even numbers.

  1. Dan, did you know that I love you? Yeah. I do. I have noticed lately that I mention you in almost all my conversations at one point or another. I very much like your list. Many of those things also make me happy. I also hear that you were going to stop by and visit me. I wish I hadn't been at work. :)
