BASEBALL(The New York Yankees are my religion) and all sports in general. Reading, hanging out with good friends and family, camping, hiking, partying in the hot weather, partying in the cold weather, partying for no reason at all, and partying just to party and be happy, moving .. heartbreak, finding $$$ you forgot about, sunrise and sunset, the leaves changing colors, the smell right before it snows, barbequeing ANYTHING, a good porno flick(yeah, I said it!!!), a lively political debate, the smell of freshly cut grass, going home, going on vacation, making someone sad laugh, an early morning round of golf, fixing something mechanical or electronic and having it work, eating bottom feeding sea critters, learning about different places and cultures and still having more questions, snowboarding, injuring yourself but laughing about it because it was FUN anyways, pointing and laughing at your friend getting injured because it was FUNNY, trying new wine, the never ending search for the PERFECT beer, seeing a pretty girl smile, tropical beaches, snow capped mountains, finding a painting in a museum that you get lost in, weekends, weekdays, anydays, springtime, summertime, falltime, wintertime, anytime! Life is an amazing gift!
Anyone that's cool, fun, and isn't dumb...and Maria Sharapova...
