My dog makes me happy! Well any dog makes me happy

Oh and eating while watching a good tv show is the best

Reading a good book usually works, as does watching a favorite TV show. The number one thing that is nearly fail-safe is listening to music and singing along obnoxiously.

Working with computers, especially with Linux.
Watching any of my favourite tv shows, e. g. Stargate Sg-1.
Riding a bike. ( I don't have one at the moment )
Reading a good book, e. g. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

It funny so many people list playing guitar;I've been playing since I was a kid.It's really one of the few things that relaxes me.I go into a kind of zone.I wrote alot of songs over the years but,with the SA,I will not perform infront of anyone.I've had some people hear my music and ask but,I'm to embarrassed.Maybe,some day I'll do an open mic.
