Riding my bike!

I have posted up on these threads but I always like a laugh!!! However I have a very dry sense of humour (some see it as dark). :gob:

The little things in life.

Knowing that if I want, I can look in the meetings and events forum, find a ride and go and hang out with people for a bit.

Fixing my bike.

Watching movies.

Exercising.

etc. :)

Riding my bike!
That's the easy answer. :D
Hanging out with friends, riding(this is a motorcycle site after all), travel, like a road trip somewhere. A good movie.

I'll post more as they come to me.

More detailed answer may be required. Riding my bike at 240 kph on the Ruakaka straights this morning at 1.30 am was making me happy!!

Disclaimer: Anything you read/see on the net maybe bullshit, so the above could be just that and not admissible in a court of law! But it was fun which is part of making me happy which is why “I ride my bike”

20th April 2006, 23:17
I felt pretty happy when I was on the bridge of the ship we took a tour on, and in the school's simulator. Just a great feeling, all the controls etc

I'd also be happy with some fucking working net lol :wait:

I have been told that since it is my thread I have to say what makes me happy...

recieving complements...

Making someone else laugh at my stupidity

Spending time with people who (actually) love me

Cracking open a bottle of Lindaur after a hard week

Doing something I have never done before... whether it is being a pillion on a bike or driving a jet boat... doing something that scares the shit out of me makes me happy! It's like yeh I just did that!!

Mr Motu and I are the resident cynics. We are both old and grumpy. And by no means convinced that happiness exists, and quite certain that if it does, it is wasted on the young. I distrust happiness, it's just a malevolent trick by those three ghastly old biddies ('tis OK, I'll wait while you find your Greek lexicon) to lure you into a false sense of security - before they drop the boom on you.

Karma, you see, if you are happy in this life , you may be sure that you'll pay for it, with compound interest, in the next. Whereas, making sure you stay miserable in THIS life, maybe means you get to feature in the next one as something that's an improvement on humankind



Were I (who to my cost already am
One of those strange, prodigious creatures, man)
A spirit free to choose, for my own share,
What case of flesh and blood I pleased to wear,
I'd be a dog, a monkey or a bear,
Or anything but that vain animal
Who is so proud of being rational.


And look how *he* ended up!

I thought Karma worked the other way round Ixion.. until you find teh zen of happiness you'll keep coming back until you get it right... and each time teh experiences get harder with the stuff you struggled with last time!

Fuckin Hippy!!!! Best thing they can do with grumpy old men is send 'em back to 'Go" and don't give 'em $200

We are long term married men - we helped Happyness pack her bags and wing her way into the sunset....then we mowed the lawns.

Doing something she doesn't approve off....and getting away with it makes me happy.....

* Just knowing that the people I care about are happy/safe/healthy/doing well.

* To be loved and cared about (which I am, hence I'm on top of the world!! :))

* Going for a blast with my close mates.

* Achieving the goals that I set for myself.

* Helping people.

Aye Indeed. And yet -- sometimes, doing something she does approve of - and getting caught- makes me happy. I'm sorry, I'm working on that weakness.

Happiness?? M'Andrew knew the secret as few men else

Lord, Thou hast made this world below the shadow of a dream,
An', taught by time, I tak' it so -- exceptin' always Steam.
From coupler-flange to spindle-guide I see Thy Hand, O God --
Predestination in the stride o' yon connectin'-rod.
John Calvin might ha' forged the same -- enorrmous, certain, slow --
Ay, wrought it in the furnace-flame -- ~my~ "Institutio".
...
"~Better the sight of eyes that see than wanderin' o' desire!~"
Ye mind that word? Clear as our gongs -- again, an' once again,
When rippin' down through coral-trash ran out our moorin'-chain;
An' by Thy Grace I had the Light to see my duty plain.
Light on the engine-room -- no more -- bright as our carbons burn.
I've lost it since a thousand times, but never past return.

. . . . .

...
They're all awa'! True beat, full power, the clangin' chorus goes
Clear to the tunnel where they sit, my purrin' dynamos.
Interdependence absolute, foreseen, ordained, decreed,
To work, Ye'll note, at any tilt an' every rate o' speed.
Fra' skylight-lift to furnace-bars, backed, bolted, braced an' stayed,
An' singin' like the Mornin' Stars for joy that they are made;
While, out o' touch o' vanity, the sweatin' thrust-block says:
"Not unto us the praise, or man -- not unto us the praise!"
Now, a' together, hear them lift their lesson -- theirs an' mine:
"Law, Orrder, Duty an' Restraint, Obedience, Discipline!"
Mill, forge an' try-pit taught them that when roarin' they arose,
An' whiles I wonder if a soul was gied them wi' the blows.
Oh for a man to weld it then, in one trip-hammer strain,
Till even first-class passengers could tell the meanin' plain!
But no one cares except mysel' that serve an' understand
My seven thousand horse-power here.
Eh, Lord! They're grand -- they're grand!
Uplift am I? When first in store the new-made beasties stood,
Were Ye cast down that breathed the Word declarin' all things good?
Not so! O' that warld-liftin' joy no after-fall could vex,
Ye've left a glimmer still to cheer the Man -- the Arrtifex!
~That~ holds, in spite o' knock and scale, o' friction, waste an' slip,
An' by that light -- now, mark my word -- we'll build the Perfect Ship.
I'll never last to judge her lines or take her curve -- not I.
But I ha' lived an' I ha' worked. 'Be thanks to Thee, Most High!
An' I ha' done what I ha' done -- judge Thou if ill or well --
Always Thy Grace preventin' me. . . .

Lots of things, I'm basically an optimist. Above all else, my family makes me happy. Enormously proud of our 3 kids who are scattered round the globe and doing well and still being totally barmy about my wife after nearly 34 years of marriage.

Congrats! Yep, it's a whole new ball game! Your lives will never be the same again, though you may be figuring that out by now... I really feel sorry for our firstborn! You make all your mistakes with them! Though he has forgiven us, I think! By the 3rd, you're so relaxed and confident it's a relative breeze! (Though having the first has rather put my eldest daughter off for a while, and my youngest said to her fiance, "We're not having kids, darling!") That was 2nd March, though, and little Aston is the light of the family! I love being a Dad, and I love being a Grandpa! I'll try posting the latest pic. Be warned, my family has a rather strange sense of humour!

Yesterday we were pulling out the driveway and noticed the neighbours Malamute and Shepherd chasing one of the other neighbours chooks. He called the Shepherd back but the Malamute bieng a Malamute instinctly killed the chook when it caught it.

I said "That was beautiful, a born killer in action"

That made me happy as the fucken chooks are always on our backlawn and I can't let our dogs out. Found one of my old Co2 pistols last night so they're fucked now.
