What are some of the little things in life that you appreciate, take interest in, or that add some utility to your life? Whether it's work related or a type of hobby or anything else.
For me it's watches, collecting fountain pens, driving loafers, and Nakiri chef knives. Just random little things in life that I enjoy.

I like it when chicks smile at me - while holding the door open or at the gym, etc. Solid eye contact and a smile is enough to brighten your day.
Eye contact is huge. Very few people look at it others in the eye nowadays. I think a lot of people lack self confidence
I think it’s pandemic related to some degree as well - when lockdowns ended I found myself not looking people in the eyes or looking away when they made eye contact. It was weird to realize this was happening because I wasn’t like this before. All good now but I think the isolation may have affected some people’s social habits
I really admire your confidence. I too always try to be nice and interact with girls every chance I get but overthink it way to much to do anything more
Adopting a new puppy. Simply replacing a hose on the car to fix the coolant system. And aubviously new headphones or speakers.
I love to listen to music.
watching music videos is also fun lol
Asap Rocky always has insane music videos if you're into his music
Yeah I’m super into music and also my dad’s cat is super chill.
Driving at night with no traffic blasting music
Having dogs I’ve just met not want to leave me alone
Getting good feedback on a project or deliverable at work - this isn’t hardo, it’s called I spend 60 hours a week working, so knowing someone sees my hard work and acknowledging it’s successful is a nice boost to my day
Having a clean apartment - knowing where all my stuff is and looking around and seeing it’s clean because I, and only I, am responsible for that, is nice
When people I value come to me for help or advice - I know enough to know I don’t know a lot, but knowing people value my opinion on stuff means a lot. Relative came to me regarding help on grad school applications and I was all giddy
Love all of these! Totally feel you on having the clean space/apartment. I really subscribe to Admiral McRaven's make your bed every morning bit and extend it to other things like keeping a tidy apartment, work space, etc.
Didn't come to mind immediately but people coming to you for help has to be the best thing ever, especially when you know they value your help. Always go out of my way to help my bros out with any advice whether it be job or life related.
You get to drive? Not NYC i presume?
Probably a bit of Aussie slang sliding in, didn't actually imply I'm driving out to see them.
Dinners at michelin stared restaurants
Running
Driving the weekend car and riding my bike
Closing a deal at work
Guitars, guitar pedals, hot girls, long walks/runs.
Cooking and baking, when I have the time! There's something very therapeutic about seeing your hard work come together to make a delicious meal - especially when you're able to share with others.
cooking is an amazing life skill. I made a post about it a while back
my bonus, is all is live up for
I'm sorry it's a little thing :/
lol it is
Trail running. If you are the first person running a trail early in the morning before it's been disturbed by other runners, hikers, etc. you will see animals all over the place. Run alongside families of deer, birds flying across your path, squirrels running around. Great workout too, and good way to get away and unplug a bit. Its a great experience each time
your profile picture looks like a giant inverted nose with a pair of tiny legs
I had never been trail running until a few years ago. My first time on the trails was for a 50mi Ultra Race. It was a lot of fun and I didn't realize how important navigating was and almost got lost a few times in the middle of the forest. Then my body failed, I ran out of water, food, my light was dying and I started getting the shakes from being cold. I had to SOS at 47.6mi ... sooooo close.... it was an amazing experience though. My friend won the race at a time of 10:40. We ran 25mi together. Unforgettable.
That much distance with little trail experience is pretty impressive. Trail miles are a lot more difficult than road, so a 5 mile run will feel more like 8 on the road.
I do smaller races myself (6-15 miles). Trail community is great though, events much MUCH smaller than your typical 5k or marathon so you get to see familiar faces pretty quickly.
Another thing I love about trial running is it forces you to be in the moment. With road running you can just tune out for the most part. On trails you constantly have to be aware of your surroundings or you will roll/break something
Come up to Leadville and run the 100!
I recommend the movie 'Awakenings' - its about the little things in life that we take for granted
+SB for Awakenings.
If you don't cry at some point during that movie then you are simply not human.
hmm, i recommended the movie but i didn't cry ... wonder what that means
Viewing pieces of nature you've never seen before. For example, my first time seeing the Grand Canyon was surreal. It looked fake. Sure you can google images and get a good idea of its scale, but nothing beats seeing incredible nature scenes in person. This includes going on hikes/runs in nature.
Watching heavy rain pelt down across lake while you watch from the shelter of a gazebo.
Going for a spirited drive in a fast car. During the heights of covid, one of the few things you could do around my area was drive on the empty highways. I had a nice, clean s550 5.0 with a stick and I would take that out for a long drive. I also had a Uniden which I trust completely so I would really push some of the speeds out there. Didn't matter where I was driving, sometimes I would set a timer for an hour and just drive out and then come back. It was a good way to clear my mind and just feel like I was doing something during covid. I really don't know how I would have survived the lockdowns without that car. Told myself that I would always own at least 1 sports car at all times for the rest of my life as a form of therapy.
Do you have your 911 yet
I did, thanks for asking. Received it recently and am working through the last steps to get plates on it.
A really good film.
what are some of your favorites?
The Prestige is probably my favorite….Heat is probably a close second or Pulp Fiction. I like anything Tarantino, Nolan, Spike Jonze, Martin S., and Dennis V(Dune, Prisoners).
Just waiting for thebrofessor to chime in
My favorite feeling in the world is opening a beer after a day outdoors either riding bikes with my mates, snowboarding, trail running, or climbing a mountain. Nothing compares to spending +5hrs pushing yourself surrounded by nature.

Steve McLaughlin is the man
1.) fresh corduroy ripping GS turns when the mountain opens
2.) when a girl lifts her hips and lets you take her underwear off
3.) someone telling you “nice job” and meaning it
4.) when you cut into a steak you cooked and it’s perfectly done
5.) when there is just enough milk left for one more shake
6.) the feeling leaving work to go on vacation
7.) when the parlay hits
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
