What makes you happy?
« on: January 30, 2009, 10:55:09 PM »
That isn't guitar related, as that is fairly obvious.

Is it a place, someone, a piece of history?
"Would you like some lemon oil?"
"Oh, no thanks, I don't eat fruit."

Listening to a song that and picking out one moment that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Usually a mixture of great phrasing and note choice.
I.E., the whammy dive at the end of the first fast run in Crushing Day (Satch) or the first bend in the solo to Pull Me Under (Dream Theater).

Spending time with my mates, drinking may or may not be involved :P

Good films.

Playing guitar obviously, especially when I manage to come up with a good riff :)

And as sad/geeky as it sounds 3D graphics/modelling. The satisfaction at the end is worth all the headaches you have whilst doing it.

^I know.
The Sweet Child O' Mine solo has lost all its impact on me D:

...
I enjoy doing it as well, headaches or not.
You sort of develop these interests studying GCSE graphics under without a doubt the coolest DT teacher ever. Haven't even had to do any coursework yet :D

Oh, to add to the previous. Learning.

Something that didn;t realy settle with me till I was out of my teens and would have been nice to have really clicked with earlier. Simply KNOWING stuff is awesome. Learning things is great. Sadly I'm still debt ridden from my previous degree, but I completely intend to go back to uni before I'm thirty. I don't even know what I intend to do. I just want to know more stuff.

I had a smashing Cohiba Esplendidos earlier. It's getting a bit late for rich cigars so I might have me a wee H. Uppman for my Friday night bedtime cigar. Grand.

tbh cigars have gone down on my list, as much as i enjoy them i have been cutting right back on the smoking.  Fags are pretty much gone now apart from the odd one every few weeks... cigars are gone apart from when i have a particularly nice whiskey to drink with them and an indoor situation where somebody doesnt mind me smoking a cigar - both seem to be lacking at the moment


now its all about getting the most enjoyment from the ones i will allow myself
