Yesterday I downloaded a book and printed the first 25 pages in A4 format and read it.. I haven't been so concentrated for ages. I read it for 2-3 hours straight with only several breaks to smoke a cigarette. Afterwards I felt completely serene. I love hyper-concentration and the peace of mind that follows it.. Who else knows and loves this feeling?

I absolutely know what you are talking about, being so engrossed in the text and relishing every word, being so excited as to find out what happens, wonderful.

Driving on windy mountain roads in the cool air with windows and sunroof down blasting music is awesome.

Introducing a new friend to my favorite band and then being all "yea they are touring this fall too don't miss it!" And being texted back the next day "I got us tix!" Awww yea.

Also I saw a white Mercedes coupe on the interstate today with a tag that read "Solange" and was like "even vaguely, that person probably knows BoC" /nerd.

I have some more things to add..

- Really cold morning sunrises
- Really windy days
- Culture
- Animals
- Band practice - even if you aren't a big or great band, just jamming feels really free and exciting.
- Brass and Woodwind
- Getting goosebumps listening to music

This, with brass knobs on. Every single time I hear that the same thing happens. Doubly so when I'm actually watching the last five minutes of the film.

You think? Or was that just sarcasm? In hindsight I realize this was badly written :/

Well I mean there's songs that do that to me every time. But they are few and far between. Finally got a chance to watch the video (can't at work), nice. That one isn't dark enough to get me but on the topic of Zimmer, the first track on the Dark Knight soundtrack does get me. As does parts of his Gladiator soundtrack.

And to stay on topic.

-Frozen grapes are amazing.
-Rediscovering old albums you used to listen to years ago and still knowing how the songs go.

The quiet calm yet muffled conversation and striking of balls in a snooker club - this is quite an English thing really.

Cycling long distance and hills - really got into cycling recently.

Fresh, cold air

Knowledge

Open fires

Seasonal things

Meditation

When sport is beautiful

Speeches

Debates which aren't out of hand and you really learn something from it

Wish I could experience that sometime.

The sound of loud obnoxious people shouting their stupid senseless opinions on crap, rap music, and an "american football" game on the tv. (really quite an american thing)

that was sarcasm btw. ( wish I could move to somewhere in the UK)

How about a nice Firing Line rerun if you want to watch a debate?

the feeling of relief where, after your gallbladder has been tying itself into knots all day, it releases and you suddenly feel normal again.

Oh don't worry mate, we have our fair share of idiots. But all things considered the UK isn't a bad place to live I spose !
