Alphabetizing my music collection, being a homeowner, the Chicago Bears, the Chicago Cubs, Chipotle, colored vinyl, democracy, Diet Coke with Lime, eating, farting, fried chicken, getting Christmas cards, girls who want to sleep with me solely because of my station in life, going to shows, Hawaiian shirts, hoodies, iced chai, listening to music, the Midwest, mowing the lawn, my beard, pizza, pooping, pro wrestling, sleeping, Taco Bell, wearing the same pair of jeans for months at a time
