the happiness, excitement, and general contentedness thread

I've got a new laptop and a new 4TB hard drive; it's time to torrent the internet

Ralph bakshi movies. Wizards, Fritz the Cat, Heavy Traffic, Fire and Ice, Coonskin. I just downloaded American Pop the other day but haven't watched it yet, but it seems excellent.

Talked my girlfriend into giving me a haircut and it feels so much better. And it was free, which is always good.

I had to reread, but better...

Really inspired by playin today. Came up with two killer riffs that I'm probably going to forget, but whatever.
I need drummer friends.

I have my creative surge too.
and I record them using a no-name random computer mic, so I don't forget ^^

That was... ahem... later.

Mostly wrote and recorded a song today! I've had the verse for ages but wrote the rest of it today and got inspired. Recording stuff always makes me happy, and the bass tone in this song is soooo good.

Also, sorted out some bank shit that was a hassle to get done so now I can get money to buy a car.

my kitty has been SO SWEET today...i think she knows that Big Changes are in the air with me packing things up and whatnot, so she's been sitting in my lap, following me around, and cuddling with me even more than she typically does. earlier this evening i was talking on the phone and she laid down along my side and put her head on my shoulder, purring until she was half asleep. i must have done SOMETHING right in my life.

also started writing a song yesterday. it's a bit of an MBV hommage so i decided to go whole hog and call it "Loveless." it's about wanting to care but having nothing left to give. "i would give you anything/i can't give you anything."

Yeah, I should record them with my camera at the very least.

3years with my girl this week
not one fight
a couple arguments about politics
and a few spirited debates about my homophobia
or lack there of (if you take my side)
but all in all i think she still digs me
despite my shortcomings
after all the bullshit in my life
self inflicted and just flat out horrible people
i thought i was gonna be alone forever when i was 30
and i was ok with it
but i got lucky,really really lucky

Congratulations, man. Making it that long without fighting is fucking hard. I'm kind of surprised that I haven't had one with my girl and it's only been 3 months.
Any woman that can put up with the amount of gear that us ILFers go through is a good one. And if they can keep you from making terrible impulse decisions, even better.

[ryan summit]

if she had her way
id have 3times more gear than i do
im the one that curbs my impulses
and an empty wallet

[greyscales]

You've definitely got a good one then. Supportive with gear is like the rarest thing in my experience.

I am glad to have a girl that will let me talk about gear even when she has no idea what it does. She just nods and let's me rant.
And she's never like, "Doesn't (that pedal) do the exact same thing as (that pedal)? Why do you need them both?"
Those are the worst people. Not just girlfriends, but people in general.

i had to tell her it looked like johnny marrs guitar
(dont bust my balls,i know the difference)
