edit: i thought yesterday's reply didn't post so forgive the repetition.

In fact the only thing I don't like about big joys (falling in love, big professional project, etc) is that it sucks the pleasures out of the small joys, which are important.

1) The swish of a shot going straight through the net, whether nylon or metal. I love it so much that I will go out and shoot 50 foul shots even though I haven't played an organized game with free throws in eight years or so. I even go shoot on pop-a-shot machines to hear it 100 times. There is nothing like it, except when the swish wins you a game.

2) That first puff of the day. You'll never get a warmer feeling from any of the subsequent puffs. I don't like to take a monster rip but nothing small either. A long drag off a J or a decent-sized dab to get me open. It's better to wait until the night time after all my shit is done, that makes it feel juuuuuuust right.

3) A hot ass shower after a long day of work, fucking, hoops or some combination thereof. I also take hot showers to think, like if I am writing a story and the organization isn't flowing, I take a hot shower and do an outline in my head in those 10 or 15 minutes. I was thinking the other day that if I had the choice between a 2000-sq-ft home with cold ass showers or a 1000-sq-ft home with a luxurious, hot shower, I'd live in the smaller place. Seriously.
