Little Things That Make My Day

Brownies. Chocolate muffins. Brownies AND chocolate muffins! Want to win an argument with me? Shove a chocolate muffin in front of my face. You won't hear a peep out of me for a good ten minutes.

Rolling ball pens. They make writing fun and elegant, even when I'm writing filth.

Chest workouts. It's my favorite workout day because it has always given me the best results. Even now I'm playing with my tits.

Dogs. Big slobbery ones. You're the absolute coolest thing in the world to them. They just want to be loved.

Laughing babies. Those goofy little pooping burping darlings. It's the only time in life you can laugh with miniature villainy, poop in someone's hand, throw up in their mouths, and it still be considered adorable. Trust me.

Random rugby games on television. BBC = Big Booty Central. Yeeeah.

A well-placed cuss word. Cussing can be a meaningful form of expression. But be selective. You want to elicit the right amount of controlled shock to get your point across, but not too much so as to take away from that point.

Refrigerated chocolate chips. Get glass bowl, set them in the refrigerator, and have a handful. Delightful!

Music to the end the day. Before I head to bed, I listen to at least five songs from my music library to settle me down. It gets my head in the right place.

And finally, all I really need is, as Greg Brown sang, "a few good friends and a field across the road."
