The Little Things...

To be fair I think a certain member on here has influenced me by his cheerful use of post formatting.

Coffee

The moment something happens in a movie I didnt expect, and it was done well.

The feel and smell of an air conditioner after walking inside from a sweltering day.

When I make a good trade or waiver move in fantasy baseball/football.

Theres more...

Toilet paper (although I would categorize it as a big deal)

As already mentioned coffee - but also other hot beverages, like tea and hot cocoa.

How could I forget....

If were talking the little unheralded things in life, like taking off your shoes at the end of a long day, rather than the essentials, like tea, then...


Going to the loo when you really, really have to go.
The first whiff of a sea breeze when you go to the seaside.
The sky. Especially those sunsets which look like they've been painted on silk or those times where the light's just right and it feels as if you could scoop out the air.
The smell of freshly cut grass on a hot summers day.
Making someone laugh unexpectedly.
Seeing my niece/nephew really enjoy or understand/realise something.
That moment when you finally remember something you've been trying to remember for ages.
Coming up with an answer in a quiz out of nowhere when no one else had a clue.
The relief of finishing something and knowing you're as far away from having to do it again as you'll ever be.
Realising 'you're in'.
Your own bed after being away.
Noticing a pattern or sequence that's completely meaningless (such as 1:23am or the odometer of a car turning over to a 'big number' or a face in wood grain)
Refracted light. Especially through a prism.

Eating sweets/candy from your childhood.

What are those straws, Rhys?

Going for a walk on a beautiful afternoon like todays with this song in my head.

They have sherbet in them.

I GOT MIGUEL CABRERA!!!!

I use my bike mostly to move around, I really enjoy those little rides in my town. And tea, and taking off your socks.

The little things that kill
Tearing at my brains again

Hearing the word daddy and knowing that sweet voice is talking to me.

My home city
My grandma's city next to the coast.
Train stations (I love them for some reason )
Cool breezes on sunny days!

And finally, when someone gives you a lift home after having to use the bus all week!

They make great settings for films.

A chilly breeze to wake you up.

Listening to music late at night.

Small, dark, smoky rooms.
Stand up showers that can double as a makeshift sauna.
When one of your favourite bands re-releases their three full lengths which haven't been in print for ten years.
When you have the extra cash to afford them, and can add them to your collection.
When someone wholeheartedly pursues a fools errand. We used to send guys for "Pipe Stretchers" "Left Handed Hammers" all sorts of stuff.
