New Again?

As we all know last week at this time I was in the hospital. Since my release, I seem to have re-discovered some of the simpler joys in life. Here's some I've run into recently or hope to re encounter again soon:

• Turning up the radio and singing that crappy Lit or Blink 182 song that's always playing.
  
• Smiling at people for no particular reason.
• Laughing at memories.
• Planning on making new memories.
• Learning and telling jokes.
• Long distance sock sliding.
• Jazz hands.
  
• Headbanging to classic Testament.
• Reconnecting with KoRn.
  
•  Belching. Really belching.
• Admitting fault.
• Cheering for the Packers!
• Cooking.
• Driving below the speed limit. Below. Yes, below.
  
• Crayons.
• Sleeping in.
• Laughing hysterically at the news.
• Air drums.
• Doing the "WHAAAAAAT'S UUUUUP?" thing with my brother on the phone.
• Trying to out geek my Dad (which has become darn near impossible).
• Extra long hugs with my girl (love you, Janine). 
  

Remember the simple stuff, kids. Life is so wonderful, but so short. I know I say it a million times. Part of me recommends almost near to a near death experience so people can reconnect too. It really shouldn't have to come to that though. Maybe a gentle nudge from someone who did fearlessly stare into the eyes of death and scoffed.

If you find that person, let me know.
