make you feel that way ...
in my preparations for palm springs, i cleared out my entire ipod in order to refill it with songs for the drive and the weekend. i came across blackalicious' make you feel that way. this song is one of the ultimate feel good songs of all time (for me, at least). the lyrics are basically listing out things that ... that you make you feel that way.
palm springs is one of those things that make me feel that way ... and while packing, i've been thinking of other things that make me feel that way. as if one post wasn't enough of a diversion from packing, i've decided to list out other things that make me feel that way ... you know, things i LOVE ... things that make me happy like no other ... simply put, things that make me smile.
here goes:
- palm springs
- drives back from hollywood late at night with terence and shawn, talking about music
- scrabble with my dad and aunty julie ... or any other family members
- three page long emails
- long talks over dinner and wine with a couple of friends at cozy italian restaurants
- long talks in general with friends
- basketball when my shot is falling
- being in a crowd at a concert where everyone's arms are swaying in unison
- meeting people who are as down with hip hop as i am (especially if that person is a cute girl)
- unexpected raises
- pretending like i know something when helping my dad with my car
- drunken times with the servite boys
- parties/kickbacks at my place
- street fighter and beer nights
- sproul
- lakers games (especially at la vals with the homies ... or even better, courtside)
- philosophical discussions (and maybe more so, drunken philosophical discussions)
- playing with little kids
- lazy afternoons with my mom and brother
- dynamite
- goans
- tanqueray 10
- everett and jones ribs ... which has surprisingly good potato salad
- dancing with girl friends that can get down (especially one in particular ... you should know who you are)
- splurging on cds
i could go on and on, but i really should get to packing now. feel free to add things that make you feel that way ... or things you think make me feel that way that i left out.
