to-do list

[meridannight]

It's just that most of my happiness comes from smaller, easier-to-obtain things. Most of them don't make for impressive Facebook posts. Nobody is going to make a movie about my quest to try my hand at photography, or learn to cook some rather basic stuff, or see if I can do stand-up comedy. But I've enjoyed them all, and they've all been quiet successes to varying degrees.

i absolutely did not mean it had to be something big. i derive joy from small simple things in life too. for example, i once knew a guy whose touch alone was one of the best things i'd ever experienced in my life. it still is. and i'm not even talking about sexual touching.

just listening to a certain piece of music, or experiencing a hot overcast summer day, or a lightning storm, or just driving a couple of hundred miles with my friends....i derive pleasure from all of them. and that last one is one of the things always on my to-do list, no matter how many times i do it.

true, my own example was a big thing, but i didn't mean to set the tone with that. i love simple small things, and i wanna hear about them as much as the big stuff.

I want to do something fun. I have no idea what that is.

....and why is this under "sports"?

because i initially wanted to make this thread only about the Dakar Rally. then i steered the topic a little in another direction as i was typing it, but i'd forgotten about where i'd put it before i'd already posted it. sue me.

Not criticizing - just noticed the fact and found it amusing.

Oh I forgot the one I decided on this week: I want to make a quilt panel for a friend I found out does not have one.

Finish braces (10 months starting in 3 weeks bringing the grand total to almost 4 years of the last 6) and get my drivers license. Bla bla grew up dirt poor bla bla so there was never the money for getting my license. Dumped most of my early 20s incoming into laser eye, fixing teeth, school debt and buying a house. Hoping to FINALLY get my license by end of 2015.

I guess I never actually listed anything on my current "to-do" list. I decided I wanted to try something different, so I did some looking around, and found a venue that hosts "Vinyl Mondays" for newbie DJs. I'm now booked to DJ there in February. I have an idea on what music to play - hopefully I can make it work.

nice. what kind of music? house?

Nope. I'm deliberately building a really small box for myself, to see if I can work within the confines of it. I'll let you know how it went.
