10 Things I Need to Live, Laugh, and Write:

1) Envisioning a realistic world in your imagination that you would never experience in reality.

2) Old people who just don't care anymore, "What can I say, I'm old."

3) People doing normal things for long periods of time. Their guard goes down and some weirdness always leaks out. Like on a train, or waiting in line.

4) People with small weird quirks about them. Men who wax their eyebrows or grown men who carry mini-feather dusters.

5) Books that completely absorb you and you can't put it down. A good, healthy way to escape reality.

6) People get really into telling a story. Acting it out as if they were on TV. Enthusiasm is great.

9) Reality TV that makes you feel ashamed for watching it, but yet you can't look away.

10) Eating. The key to happiness is in a good dish. It inhabits every memory of good times and borders all good stories I like to write.

Could it be that it belongs to a single guy? Hmm, probably not. Imagine, for a moment: the good-looking guy at the bar with a gift of talking to the ladies, successfully convincing them to spend a glorious night together. Then, Surprise! At least he seems to have his own door to his parent’s refinished basement. Now that would certainly not be considered ultimate. So I pose the question once again - What makes up...
