In no particular order:
+ Superheroes
+ Inspiring drunk people to jump on stage and sing with my band while simultaneously inspiring sober people to dance
+ Sitting in TOTAL AWE as I realized that they weren't going to rescue Han by the end of the movie

+ Sitting in an inflatable kayak in the middle of Fallen Leaf Lake with the soon-to-be Mrs. Malone, naming ducks and writing songs about cabin mice who steal Pamprin.
+ Watching Sifl 'n Olly with Jesse
+ Playing catch with my dad when I was 5. With every catch, he would do an elaborate dance, pretending to almost drop the ball. Physical comedy at its finest.
+ Lemony band practice. From the giant burrito, to the Indian buffet - and all the music in-between
+ Starcraft
+ Mixing up punchlines with my mother on the long drive to grandma's house. [Why did the moron throw butter out the window? He wanted to see a butterfly. + How do you stop a rhino charging? Take away his credit card. = Why did the rhino throw the moron out the window? He was charging too much for the butter.]

+ Riding with Bob after school in his Mach-1, Tin Machine blaring on the stereo
+ The Big Lebowski
+ Sitting on the kitchen table and sharing a bottle of soda with my grandma while we watched cartoons

+ Donuts
+ The Concubines, The Walkin' Walkers, Lemony, IBOPA, Huckleberry's Dolphin, Dominic Castillo & The Rock Savants, The Orange Peels, Corporate Whore/PBJ, The Gymnoblastics, The Brothers of Dissonance
+ Having my cousin wake me at 6 in the morning on Easter to check out our baskets
+ Opening packs of game-related merch with Chris and Michelle
+ Animals
+ Tina Moniece asking me to slow dance at 6th grade science camp
+ Trips to Tower Records with Bob, Eric, and Kurt
+ Sex
+ The Muppets
+ Losing my sh-t with Eric at 3AM New Year's morning after passing a stuffed bunny in the middle of the road
+ A nearly unbroken string of inappropriate family dinner conversations with my brothers for the past 15 years
+ "Air Force One" - terrorists attack President Harrison Ford's plane. During a close up of the dead pilot, she turns to me and says, "He had the fish".
+ Swimming off the Nepali Coastline in Kauai and feeling completely at peace
" Sitting in TOTAL AWE as I realized that they weren't going to rescue Han by the end of the movie"
Me too, my friend;me too.
