little things that make you smile

[emef]

old people with mobile phones who have the trigger happy tv HELLO!!! ringtone



the cat from 2 doors up seen most days in summer fast asleep on the bonnets and roofs of the cars up and down our street in the middle of the day
first time this summer... walked past him on friday cleaning himself on someones car bonnet, casual bugger



the hare krishna couple i saw a few weeks ago walking towards me holding hands wearing full robes in town
i happened to catch their eyes when we were 20 feet apart
and they both gave me these absolutely wonderful beaming smiles
lovely, i was beaming myself for ages afterwards


what R yours?

Images of presidential candidates taking a bat to the head at full swing.

That's quite a coincidence. Literally last week a couple of friends and I started work on a fanzine which is dedicated to "the small things that make your heart beat faster".

I like:

Old people who call out "thankyou driver" when they get off the bus.

Oh me too, but there's just something about the way old folks call the driver "driver", see also "hello postie" when the postman goes by.

[Lady E]

yes, sometimes ive been known to call the taxi driver 'driver' because what else do you call them?

im not a big fan of referring to people i dont know as mate.

something that made me smile:

my neighbours' two little girls selling their little drawings in the street for 5 p each on saturday. i bought one which was of a 'football crazy' bloke for my boyfriend, and a 'cd mad' girl for me.

Putting talc in your bumcrack after a bath then doing a big fart.

[TroyMoyOnions]

heh!

[wheezer]

finally, a good use for talc.

when my girlfriend speaks English, she likes to mix up the adjectives paradox and controversial, in practice it just sounds incredibly cute.

man I'm a sad, pedantic bastard.

[tania]

kids make me smile more than anything...
was sitting in London Fields yesterday and a football flew towards me. seconds later i noticed a gorgeous mix race 4 year-old boy that was blatantly looking for it, so i grabbed it and started playing with it pretending it's mine just to see his reaction..when he saw me he ran towards me and just took the ball from my hands without saying a word or showing any signs of shyness, which i found well funny. a few minutes later and after i had forgotten about the incident, he came back holding a daisy and gave it to me!!! now how sweet is that?? it certainly made my day, let alone made me smile.

[May Kasahara]

Outside my office window there's a hedge that is filled with nesting sparrows; listening to them rustle and cheep their way through the day is a small but significant up beat in my otherwise unbearable working day.

Watching my cats bristle at the neighbour cats who occasionally visit our garden. In fact, watching my cats do anything except go into the litterbox brings a smile to my face.

works every time for me aswell ;D

my little sister makes me smile more than anything, especially when she dances around like a fairy, but really just in general.

i just feel privileged that ill be one of the main people in her life as she grows up. :)

just thinking that made me let out a small smile. =D

also, reminders of my childhood, small toys, feelings, people, films etc

and obviously music ...

bbydhyonchord by aphex twin
telephasic workshop by BoC
geometry by jega
mdrmx and '-' by brothomstates
stormdrain by ceefax acid crew

obviously a shitload more, but these are the first few that came to mind.

[pille'ocheoni]

[jukka]

Opening the door to see a jehova's witness coming through our gate this morning... she turned around really quickly and rushed off the moment she saw me. Took me a moment to realise this is because my eyes are BRIGHT red from conjunctivitis and I was wearing a tshirt with a huge grinning Satan face on! I had to chuckle to myself :)

[bitch one]

watching the reaction of fellow busriders when that dirty, piss-smelling, foul-mouthed homeless person gets on
even better when he/she sits next to someone (away from my seat, of course)

[JE:5]

Watching the Crow couple at the back of my girlfriends house, very interesting to watch at this time of year. (yes that's why I changed my avatar!)

[eclairfi]

finding new music and producers, seeking something youd never heard of before and loving all of it ! very exciting

haha drop i love that, theres a guy who gets on buses in town here that makes farting noises everytime someone walks past him then he will start calling people james bond... love seeing peoples reactions
last week on the bus i also saw a total rude bwoy with a tshirt saying "playa numba 1" on it... there were no seats except beside this woman who talks to herself , i couldnt stop sniggering

Best example of this is from Log of Disappointment.com:

It's a really beautiful read, and never fails to bring a smile to my face:

[grobelaar]

I like John Peel's Home Truths programme on Radio 4, its like a whole hour of heartwarming tales from ordinary folk...

Every Saturday 9-10pm... perfect start to the weekend...

[drop]

@loz
that link made me smile :-)

[scott confusion]

A pint after work tonight is going to make me smile :-)

[electrochix]

the weekends.

[pongoid]

every time my lady bends over to pick something up. Sometimes I'll just drop things at random to make it happen.

My lady's big beautiful blue eyes looking at me when I wake up.

When I stop playing for a moment, and the crowd goes apeshit.

When somebody hands me a fat wad of cash and says "Fuckin nice one, man."

When somebody puts money in my hat.

The first piss of the morning.

The brush of the teeth before I go to bed.

Turnig out the lamp and seeing all the little blinking lights, LEDs, and backlit screens.

Every time my mate's pit sees me and he does this funny little walk where his ass just curls around to the side to the point where he's gettin a bit pissed off at his tail whackin him in the face and half snaps at it.

When my parent's dog farts and he turns around to bark at whoever tweeked his bum.

i do this too but it always pisses me off.

things to make me smile? those brown cardboard boxes leaning on my flats door holding the latest record shipments when i come back from work. man i am definitely a social looser :)

[Daddys Girl]

Indeed, small children do have have a habit of making you smile:
Yesterday, walking to my friends car after uni, I passed a row of houses, one of which had a girl (who must have been all of 3yrs) in the window - she was just staring at me, then she started smiling and waving... to which I did the same thing

That summery feeling, when people are out enjoying the weather, and look like they're definately enjoying one anothers company...

Tiny sparks in your mind that make you catch your breath...

Oh - and this weekend, when it was kinda hot - most people on my road (including myself) had their windows wide open, and music was just filtering down the road... the Cuban couple that live at the top smashed it though with the music they were playing - it just put everyone in such a fantastic mood!!!

D_G ;o)

that makes my cry of happiness....

[tsr_robban]

aaaw that's so cute :)

[tonyrohr]

On a summer night, when you wake up to find the pillow is a little too warm for your comfort. You flip it over to the othersider:

Aahhhh, cool sleeping delight.

Always brings a grin.

[Loz]

Or, rather waking up in the middle of the night after a big night out before, and find the pillow is a little too wet for your comfort. You've droolled all over it again.

[guignol dangereux]

animals of every kind.

[invisibledan]

listening to a storm (like the one we just had) fade into the distance and being able to hear the birds singing again. blissful

lol classic, i used to talk bollox about inventing a pillow with a little refridgerated insert in the middle to keep the side of your face nicely cool on those hot nights, i hate warm pillow syndrome :)

How true - that brought a smile to my face... I was out the window watching the lightning strike, and the people who got caught in the rain, scurrying about... not that seeing them get soaked made me smile, of course...

D_G ;o)

[Loz]

Lightning Storms in general I love. Shame we don't get them where I live very often. Was caught in an amazing one a few years ago. Driving up from Phillidelphia to New Jersey at about 2am, this absolutely massive lightning storm came in front of us, and as we drove, moved around to the right, then back behind us, all we got caught in was a bit of rain. But it was bloody fantastic to watch. I love lightning.

Also, on a slightly related note, one thing that never fails: The sound of train falling on a tent. Something just incredibly great about being inside a tent when it's raining.

[Daddys Girl]

... or on a corrugated iron roof in the West Indies, watching the bannana trees get battered in the wind... (transported back to memories of my aunt's place...)

D_G ;o)

[proober glombat]

don't have a view from the room i make music in, just concrete wall & a touch of sky. so when a squirrel decided to pop by every day and have a sniff around, this made me smile. then the other day, when the sun really shone the first ray's of summer the squirrel brought it's new nipper along to show it 'the way of the sniff'. the little bugger was totally ignoring it's mum/dad by going off on it's own fresh adventures. smiles for miles....

[LEFTHANDLOU]

You guys might think this is mean, but

When people trip and fall

I don't know what it is, but i can't help laughing. I'm going to hell, I know

[drop]

last night i called my girl, complained about a shitty day at work,
she came over unannounced about an hour later with a bottle of boones strawberry hill, a blunt, and a great smile

aaaawwwww yeah!

yes you sure are 8-()

[marcel]

then you finish some difficult'n'timetaking tasks you had to do and finally have some time for yourself again.
it feels like getting out of prison (not that i've ever been to one)


life's great, i've slept 2 hours last night, and its hot outside oh yeah:)

seeing cats walking on the floor, is a little thing that makes me happy
