I take requests....
...and the request of someone was for me to tell them what makes me happy. Will they read this, maybe.
Again, random order (exactly how my brain things, I think - haha)
1)waking up every day and _wanting_ to put forth the energy to enjoy life; professionally, personally, artistically, creatively, romantically and socially plus all the shit in-between. Life is what you make it… Life is good, life is beautiful!
2)Giving a person or people the gift of laughter! I enjoy getting people to smile and laugh and putting them in a good mood / feeling good – all smiles, all easy – goodvibes!
3)observing and interacting in other peoples lives.
Examples of interacting: educating a child; answering all of their “why” questions truthfully. Being physically and mentally prepared to help another person. Holding open doors for an elderly people, someone with their hands full or just out of courtesy. Providing help or advice to someone who truly needs its and wants it. Being yourself when a friend or stranger needs it / being there!
Examples of observations: Watching a father / parents who enjoy their child or children (watching a dad push his kids on a swing, watching a father / parents talk to their children/child about the kids questions or thoughts). Watching as someone struggles with a problem but figures it out for them selves!
4)Having the opportunity to experience the “fruits of labor” and realizing what those fruits” are. Specifically, I enjoy having goals to work towards and complete. Also, I enjoy having friends, family and colleagues that contribute to my “fruit basket” thoughts and experiences of life and enjoyment of life.
5)Spinning records and making music with the ambient sounds and backdrop of a rainstorm. I’d also say I enjoy making and playing music that I ‘feel’ / ‘get into’ or makes me smile (and dance) regardless of the “type” of music.
6)Working towards my dreams and creating new dreams for myself to work towards. Like making a promise a year ago to move and change my life… July 27th will be 1 year ago when I made this recent promise to myself; a promise I just fulfilled – ahead of time too!
7)Watching the morning sun shine brightly! Summer sunny day…. Sun is shining… Whatever, it’s the best way to start a day for me; to see the sun rays and it’s beauty warming my face, body and surroundings – lovely I say, lovely!
8) Learning about and contributing to the world and culture we live in as humans (not silly ‘americans’) - Whether it’s through travel, conversations, experiences or acquired knowledge.
9)Having my brain bent backwards by a musicians skill. Examples: 2001-09-01 Disco Biscuits show @ the Wetlands in NYC. Watching Richie Hawtin control the world for a few hours… Watching the head nod between musicians (or musicians and fans) when they know what they are doing / playing is sick! Yes, there have been times I blew my own brain back while playing or making music!
10)Having a good round of golf!
