Reasons Life Is Worth Living



The sound of my family laughing. "Pyramid Song" by Radiohead. Tea and Toast on a Sunday night. Billy Connolly. Robert DeNiro. Sleeping in. Early, early morning. Fog. Sunsets in California. The Ocean. Overcoming nerves. The smell of cigarettes in the summer. White Hart Lane in full roar. Pacific Coast Highway. Macaroni and cheese from Wood Ranch. Hunter S. Thompson. Kevin Spacey in American Beauty. Surprising yourself. My sofa. Guitar Solos. Candlelight. Hendrix. Hicks. Homer. Christmas Day at home. Adam Baker drunk. Star Wars. Kevin Smith. Unspoken moments with strangers. Bon Iver. Mum's toad in the hole. An empty page and a pen. Dali. Long walks in comfortable shoes. Getting lost. "The Shining" by Badly Drawn Boy. Kostas. The drive to Vegas. My friends' successes. Finishing a day's work. The Godfather. In N Out. Woody Allen. Freestyle rapping. Natalie Portman's face. Glastonbury. Headphones. Skipped heartbeats. Ricky Gervais' laugh. Rome. Filet Mignon. Live Music. Guinness. Wile E. Coyote. Facing fears. Hot Showers. Symmetry. The smell of popcorn. Alan Partridge. Santa Barbara. New York from the Hudson River. Benson's Coronation Chicken Baguettes. Awkwardness. Flaming Sambuca. A clean pair of pants and socks.

The human condition, the fact that we dance but their is no reason to, laughing at inappropriate times, the fact that no one knows exactly what happens when a caterpillar goes into a cocoon and then comes out a butterfly, how does it do it!?, my dysfunctional family, neurosis and being meticulous and OCD handwriting noting the fact that it can and will never be perfect and I still continue to try. soap, ice cream and...ice cream. children, old people, psychos and saints, people watching (by far the thing most worth living for), how weird we all really are. love, death, failures and success, peoples minds in the book form, conditioned reinforcement, art, collecting enough change to buy something, buying other people the perfect present, believing in Santa Claus, sitting in a room in silence with people and still entertained. Making other people laugh, outer-space, dinosaurs, Greek mythology, the universe, EUPHORIA, funny things people say, the horrible and the miserable, the fact that food grows on trees, the fact that while money doesn't grow on trees it is made from trees, things that are ironic, the imagination and places i’ve never seen, meeting people, acting and singing, making a difference, and of course thumbs.
