Humm .. well, I could list some things that I COULD get some enjoyment out of, provided that 1) I would be able to actually do those things currently and 2) I succeeded in it and would be able to finish it .. 1) Composing a good song (bad songs just depress me, proving I am no good) 2) Pixelling a good/nice/energetic picture (this goes for the song also, energetic etc. - and I mean -pixelling-, not photoshopping or drawing and scanning or stuff like that) 3) Programming a neat 'demo' (using BlitzBasic though .. very easy but I have no energy even for that. I am out of ideas, inspiration and vision.. sigh - of course it would utilize self-made-musics and sound effects and graphics and animation clips, sprites etc.) 4) Learning something new, like - Piano playing (started with Miracle, then stopped and didn't continue) - A new music program (trying to learn three or four actually, none which are progressing currently) - Chinese (beautiful language imho, but I have no energy for this nor any good resources to continue) 5) Some kind of entertainment could give me some kind of satisfaction if it's the right amount, right format for the moment, if I was in the right mood, if it had the proper amount of right type of energy, etc etc .. but it depends on so many factors that usually most I can get out of any entertainment is a couple of minutes some kind of escapism-like forgetting about my misery and pain .. 6) If I could rest enough somehow. I sleep like 16 to 20 hours every time but I am always exhausted, and when I wake up, I feel so tired I want to just go back to sleep. Took about 10 tries to get up from the bed the last time. My ideal resting would of course be death - after which I could rest in a real manner in the astral world for hundreds, if not thousands of years (whatever is the maximum in my current stage) 7) Finding inner peace and harmony - noticing that all my Karma is burned and now I can evolve forwards, opening my chakras, balancing my emotions, dealing with my fears and getting rid of them, somehow making my 'external' problems go away, trusting my Creator, opening my Kundalini safely somehow, learning astral projection and learning to love everything in existence (and beyond) with full possible power that I can at this stage 8) I have no idea, maybe I am just too frigging confused. - Vortac
there are so many things that can cheer up a person... as for me i like deep conversations with clever kind people and books and music (the main thing probably) and just the sun or moon or smiles of people passing by ...... if nothing satisfies ya, it's a bad sign
Sex (LOL! my favorite :tongue: ), aikido, music (both as musician and listener), books (I'm a Neil Gaiman fan), and hipforums.
music... some good roots music my bonsai trees cannabis reading classic books just being with cool ass folk and feeding off that energy helping people
anything beautiful completes me. a single flower. a powerful guitar solo. a summer rain shower. yeah, the simple things.
Orgasms do not satisfy YOU. They don't even really satisfy the body - or why would no number of orgasms be enough for the body? After a short while, the hunger for another is still there, so it's not satisfied. Well, maybe it's semantics - but even if we call it satisfaction .. it's such a short-term materialistic-animalistic low-level barbaric lustful thing to satisfy.. a true SELF is none of these things. What satisfies the body, has many times the tendency to leave the soul very unsatisfied. The soul is the real you, bodies come and go. So anyone who confuses lust for love or orgasm for satisfaction of self is mislead, a fool, a materialist, a short-sighted hedonist or some other kind of close/narrow/tube-minded person who has no clue about what the truth really is. - Vortac
Music - listening and making. I'll mess around on my guitar (yay for Telecasters). Or (and this is the best one) just going out into nature, even though the land round me is pretty flat, there's all sorts of pretty hedgerows and copses to explore - you can end up in a tiny woodland about 5 miles from anyone just by setting out over the fields. sadly, the view from my room isn't so good. Nice green fields... woods... 3 fucking power stations. If I ever get round to it I'm gonna record my Native American Flute music - improvisations, natch. Can't be doing with written down music, each song is unique. It's OK to preserve the song, but writing it down chains it down, removes the expression from it. Which is why I'm not big on classical flute (even though I played it for 8 years). Too strait-laced - I'd constantly get told off for just improvising and inserting random bits of other pieces into my playing Oh, and some good grass will really cheer me up. And sunrises, my significant other, any combination of the previous 3, reading - I have about 300 books and show no sign of slowing down yet.
the smile on my son's face, my felines, MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC, did ya get that?, a good book, a new tattoo or piercing, falling in love/being in love, driving really fast, being outside, seeing a good band live, hanging with good friends, meditating, a nice bowl, my laptop, my stereo....
