the sound of an ice cube exploding when you dump it in a warm drink
sliding into your skinny jeans after oh so long
doing the perfect downward dog
reconnecting with an old friend
peanut butter right outta the jar
hearing someone call your name in a crowd of strangers
an unknown neighbour who is bringing the potted plant in my windowsill back to life
when your mechanic bill is way less than anticipated
breaking in a new pair of runners
running past the volleyball courts at the beach
the chance to make your own rules instead of always having to break others'
getting a high-5 from a little kid
having a free night to make whatever plans you want

No

then over at the Government of Canada's business site you can find this positive and motivating piece of sound business advice copied verbatem
You've Got an Idea? So What?
In the first place, the chances that you are the first to come up with a particular innovation are somewhere between slim and none. Secondly, even if you have come up with the better mousetrap, nobody — but nobody — is going to beat a path to your door. In fact, in the course of trying to peddle your better mousetrap, you'll beat up plenty of shoe leather wearing paths to other people's doors. You'll stand a good chance of wearing out your patience and several dozen crying towels as well.

boardroom meeting at the beach
this post is brought to you today by the 23 hot degrees that are bustin outta the sky
there is no better feeling that stepping on the tip of a ledge and being nothing but excited about jumping off
i didn't realize how bored and complacent and frustated i had become by letting the easy life become okay
and that two hour daily commute how i do not miss thee
awesome is waking up with a to-do list that freaks you out and gets your creative juices flowin' and makes you question whether you're actually gonna get to scratch your "done that" red pen right through come up with funky ad campaign idea
i'm not big on cliches but sometimes the grass IS greener on the other side and today i plan on running barefoot right the fuk through it
. . . . .
and this post addendum is brought to you by my raging hormones

star crossed
calling all retro rats i need to get my hands on a walkman so i can replay the tape cassette my astrologer recorded my reading on
so i can reconfirm and have it in writing that the stars say i should take the summer off
it's the stars man you gots to listen to their cosmic wisdom and celestial insights
so let me know if you have a walkman you are comfortable parting with
or if you're the guy on craigslist that is selling the sports one for five bucks get back to me already
you have a buyer dude

placed coins under the concrete
we signed our names in the concrete to leave our mark and our love
next we painted the library of the primary school
some kids came in to watch we sang our national anthem and they sang theirs
we got to sit in on an english class
they all wear little white coats we told them they look like little doctors
each of them made a thank you card
a family who recently had a home built through habitat for humanity invited us into their home for dinner
then there was fun time
bike ride through the wineries of mendoza
feast at a winery
cheers!
