a) What makes you happy? b) And why does it?

[devogue]

1A) Creating art

1B) Because it allows me to change and/or reject this reality and create my own



2A) Doing things to make loved ones happy, laugh, etc

2B) Because my loved one's happiness and well being directly affects my own



3A) Performing random acts of kindness, especially if it is done anonymously

3B) Because… I dunno. It just feels good to do right for the sake of doing right

A good shit still beats all that, in my book anyway.

No more derails...promise.

a) Sinking my teeth into a really fiddly bit of programming that includes a number of complex and elaborate sql statement, regular expressions or just creative uses of the language. Things like data mining for fun, screen scraping, merging of disparate web service results for a useful purpose, etc.

b) Because it's like a fantastic series of problem solving tasks that give me a wonderful sense of satisfaction and achievement when that "Hello World!" moment comes.

Oh God, you just brought bacl a horrible memory of my college days Pappa, I think I'm going to be sick I hate programming with a passion, dropping out of college a month before I graduated was the best thing I ever done, I can imagine just how shite my life would be if I had to look at that bloody code for several hours a day for the rest of my life!

a) People watching, especially friends. Some of the happiest times of my life have been when I'm with a group of mates and for some reason I take a step back from the conversation and just watch them interacting. I like seeing my friends smile and quite often I just sit and watch people at house parties after I've had a few.

b) I'm a social person and take a lot of pleasure in meeting people and forming bonds. I think that my atheism has a big part to play in why I find seeing people I care about talking amongst themselves carefree since I came to the conclusion long ago that there is no meaning to life except whatever meaning we make for ourselves and for me the meaning found in my friends and family.

a) Spending the last 5 hours getting hot and sweaty with the woman I love.


b) You need to ask?

That was covered in the OP...

Unless you're talking about mowing the yard, or something...

I was only just home when I wrote it, didn't have the energy to think of anything else.

If I'd just spent 5 hours shagging, I don't think I'd have much else on the forefront of my thoughts, either. Like the OP says: no points deducted! and

Got some interesting aches today as a result, won't stop me from doing it all again tonight though.

No more derails...promise.

a) any thread I start is derail-friendly

b) especially when it extolls the virtues of a really good crap (but not so much for the run-o'-the-mill crap.)

So long as no one posts "POINH", I'm good with that.

Only live once Devvy, might as well make the most of it.

Once?

Bollocks to that.

I've got a 747 and 72 wet, impatient women.

A: Design and build my designs and test them out. B: It is very fulfilling to see one of your creations go from the screen to 3d and making it work. Whether they be robots, cars, boats, bikes, I just love it.

Now, do I really need a reason?

OT, but I'm still mesmerized by your avatar. If I didn't forcefully tear myself away, I'd sit and watch it for hours at a time. I can't say it makes me happy, though. Not exactly.

No, I was too busy repeating my escapades of last night to be posting.


Besides, you don't kill your enemies, you kill everyone they care about and destroy everything they hold dear and let them live to suffer, alone, until they wither away.
