The Simple Things

Whacking off all my enemies in each progressively difficult mission of Devil May Cry.

Eating ice cream on a cold winter day.

Jumping into cool water on a hot summer day.

When a puppy sees my hand as a new chew toy.

Knocking in the eight ball just when I think I’m about to lose a game of pool.

Feeling the warmth of the sunshine on my skin while I’m out on my lunch break.

Capturing a candid moment on camera.

Going down the highway very fast.

Saturday morning cartoons.

Sunday comic strips.

Watching the sun set from the balcony of my hotel room in some foreign, exotic land.

Getting a handwritten letter or postcard in the mail. (Who writes these days?)

Feeling the wind in my hair and the sand between my toes as I’m walking down the beach.

Imagining the clouds in the sky are in the shape of rude objects.

Looking at old photographs.

Blowing bubbles at my dog just to see her reaction.

Receiving an unexpected present for no special occasion that the giver even takes the effort to wrap.

Having a steaming cup of latte.

Cruising in the car at 3 in the morning with the windows down and the stereo on.

Stopping the car in the middle of nowhere to get out and look at the stars. Just because you can.

Knowing something that no one else does.

Making someone else smile.

As Dirty Vegas sing, it’s the simple things that make you smile.

    Getting that CD you have been waiting for and then spending the rest of day wishing you were back home to listen to all 12 tracks while having iced cafe latte.
    Spending hours trying to win your SIMS character a promotion.
    Watching 2 DVDs back to back on a rainy Saturday night.
