Everyday things that make you smile

As the subject says, what have you seen/come across lately that has made you smile? Even better, made you smile just thinking about them.

I just had a grin spread all over my face like a bad std thinking about perhaps one of the most adorable sights I have seen...
Last week I went to a free mini concert in Sydney which featured bdo performers.
Lars from metallica was doing an interview, and signings afterwards. As I was walking to get ice-cream, the presenter stops mid-way through sentence, staring at a middle aged man walking along with his friends. Everyone turned around to look at him too, and everyone smiled.
He was a tough looking, tight jeaned, leather clad, bald, pierced, tattoed middle aged man with a metallica t-shirt. At the risk of sounding steriotypical, he was the type of guy you wouldn't want to bump into at night/in a dark alley.
Anyway... this man was on the VERGE OF TEARS... happy tears. He threw his arms up in the air to reveal to the crowd and presenter lars' signiture on his arm...
He was so happy,walking with pride, the BIGGEST grin creeping up on him, squnting his eyes to stop tears flowing down his face...obviously he had finally met one of his faviourite performers in the enitre world. I wanted to take a photo, it truely was one of the nicest things I have ever seen.

Learning how to play supergyration by the datsuns on bass.

Not going back to school and looking forward to Uni.

What about everybody else? What makes you go all warm and fuzzy inside?

Forums: The Bar,

cats, cats rule.

especially my pet cats

oh hell yes. my partner and i saw something the other day that had tears streaming down our faces - we were looking in this vet's place, after hours. there's a big glass kitten enclosure on the outside of the building. there were about six kittens in there, and it was absolute f*cking carnage. it was just like WWF. so violent, absolute random, manic, chaotic violence. they were launching themselves off things at other fellow-kitten-inmates, springing from round corners (so fast they were often on their hind legs, front paws raking the sky for anyone who happened to get in the way), kittens sitting on top of other kitten just plain bashing the shit out of each other.

this was beyond play - it was that sort of thing that happens to all cats at twilight, night fever. but there were six of them and they were dosed up on youth and hormone, and it all snowballed into this unending carnage.

it was so cool. lil buggers.

something else that made me smile (though not 'everyday') was seeing Billy Boyd in "Master and Commander". was a decent film and all, but it was so good to see him not being a fool of a Took. not that i didin't love him being a fool of a Took. it was just great to see someone avoid being typecast - having the success LOTR cake and eating it too.

Good answer. Cats are the shit. Where would we woman or men for that matter be without these beautiful creatures. I've got a puppy from my neighbour its a pittie.. but its so tiny its so georgeous, I cant help but love it.

- coffee
- The Simpsons

bleh thats about it.

Listening to my daughter, Marley, speaking in broadest Scottish accent you can ever imagine, whilst ripping the piss out of my kiwi accent.
My 'once a day' listening to the 70's prog rock band Focus, singing Hocus Pocus, while smoking my first roll up and having the first cup of coffee of the morning.
Watching Celtic kick Rangers arses on a regular basis this season...

Bobo is STILL the best celtic player (apart from Larsson!)

Remembering Wayne Coyne at BDO

Hearing the words "TITTIES! WOO!" (a couple of people here would know that story)

The smell of old books and new magazines

Shit, I just realised what a boring person I am...that's pathetic!

still brings a grin to my face.

My 2 yr old sneeking into the bedroom in the morning radiating energy I wish I still had.

Seeing the Rock & Roll Machine the other night.

//Remembering Wayne Coyne at BDO

OMFG yes....

I had a few tears treckle down my face at the flaming lips.
I hadn't even heard much by them, and had been looking forward to all the rock n roll bands, i toddled along to see them, and the flaming lips were the highlight of my entire day.
The nun puppet, my lord the nun puppet.
It's true, I now have a huge grin on my face even though I had a terrible, horrible bad day yesterday.

that reminds of the time I went to disneyland and these two punks (i mean safety-pin piercings, sleeveless leather jackets, one guy with a foot high mohawk and the other with no hair at all, rough looking dudes) were in the line for the magic teacups. that looked strange enough, but when they got on their little white-and-pastel-shade teacup they just went bananas! Spun the thing so goddamned fast that after about 30 seconds they were just a blur or leather and colourful mohawk. they were going so fast that you couldn't actually make out human shapes. All the other teacups were soccermoms and primaryschoolers just staring in awe. when the ride stopped they took twice as long to come to a rest as anyone else, and staggered with legs of jelly out of their teacup. At that point the sizable crowd of moms, dads and kiddies that had amassed there broke out into applause, and these two hardened punks smiled at everybody and then went and sat down for about an hour and a half looking pretty sick :)

Everything awesome makes me smile. This dot.com makes me smile. Real romantic memories of me & my partner is what makes me smile with butterflies all the time. The feeling doesn't go away..memories are pretty deadly..how fantastic.

Coffee

Toffeepops

When our cat gets that sheepish look after he knows he's just done something really stupid like jumping into a closed window and landing flat on his face...

Old love letters

snails

Beautiful description. Dont you just love those antenna's that just keep shrinking when you tap on them & how cute & lovely it is when they pop back up..I must apologise cos in the past on a rainy day when snails seem to pop up more than usual I have stood on maybe 3 or 4 in my life & killed them by total acccident. I feel awful about it but they were so small for me to even be warned of their presence let alone..im asking myself what the hell they were doing in my pathways in the first place!
but yes..its swell to know that they make a person smile so dearly.

Cheesy 80's T.V./ movie references usually raise a grin.

how crisp the air is every morning

thinking about my girlfriend
and those grins you get when you really surprise her with something awesome e.g. secret picnic...

you must be a stud, bro. how do i get moves like yours?

AAAAAhhhhh...how romantic.

*jon grins all embarrassed*

music!

Oh yes. Music & me..go together perfect harmony....(nate dogg)

sitting on a hillside at dusk in summer and realising you can see the entire universe from where you are

bongs.

Yes. Agree hard. Pipes. Straws. Buckets. Knives. Stoves. Elements. Cones. Gadgets of all sorts.

In my junkie days I found that the best had to be was the 'Lung'. You don't have water to spill in the car like buckets or bongs. Easy to hide not like a burner and knives.

With all the ways to smoke pot dreamed up by the stoner macgyvers, you can't beat rolling a joint.

benn there, still doing that..heheh

the lung is gross dude when you take away the water you don't filter and cool the smoke so it ends up harsh as fuck. also if you keep your spotting bottle in the freezer you will get a similar smooth effect.

i recently just came out of retirement, and i can get stoned as hell off 1 bong. remember when you first started smoking and it was fun, all you did was sit around and laugh, well thats where i'm at again. however once this honeymoon period is over and the paranoia sets in, followed by complete loss of social skills then i will give it away again.

water bongs and joints - quality not quantity.

Yes for sure.
Quality not quantity.Too much is very bad for you.
Its as if you feel immuned to the stonage buzz & it becomes more normal than ever..
..got to slow down & of course in moderation..

//In my junkie days

Yeah right..Somebody's being discreet! *nudge nudge*

Mindless stupidity.

Stupid should hurt and when it does it's the funniest thing in the world.

Oh yes..tell us some more.

He doesn't need to, just keep posting lca.

Dont say that, you just made me post..but true on the topic..you just made me smile there..

QED

And this made me smile too *more like a smirk*

Sorry I meant to say more like a demonstrative cheeky smile.
