beautiful moments

[cabbagechild]

when serge gainsbourg quotes the first two lines of the last strophe of verlaine's "chanson d'automne" in his song "je suis venu te dire..."



sigh.

beautiful moms

[kamenriderv3]

when the panda stared at the fronch.....

[cabbagechild]

this is the new minutiae, motherfuckers.

get with the program.

[shammy718]

beautiful moment: another look at minutiae ( i missed this thread)

[35ft6]

Before I left home for college and adulthood, my mom breaks from the doing the dishes, turns her head as I walk into the kitchen, smiles, and asks: "are you hungry?" Sometimes she's angry because I didn't call the night before, in which case no smile, but, still, "are you hungry?"

When a little kid and a cuddly animal lock eyes and walk towards each other.

Watching your girl sleep.

yes.

[shammy718]

discovering a good album randomly

going over that bridge at night

small but sincere renunciations of ego

[charlos3000]

bourbon, rocks, good music, cigarette, and a quiet moment in your head when no thoughts are populating it.

[charlos3000]

also, cruising down the front straight at big willow at 126 mph, taking a second to gaze out the window at the rocky desert landscape, taking a deep breath, and then bitch slapping your ABS as you turn into #1.

driving is such a beautiful thing, and beautiful moments when driving that much more beautiful...

[35ft6]

Holding hands, walking down the street at night, as snowflakes begin to fall, causing you to tighten your grip just so... I'm talking big fat snowflakes, not little dots.

[charlos3000]

dancing with reckless abandon

The sound of ice tinkling in a fine bourbon on the rocks.

having a breezy, cloudy day and wearing boots for the first time in months--feeling how your feet feel in them and recognising Fall...

[falcor]

spending a nasty, stormy day and night in bed with boy, six pack and movies.

[randall fairbrook]

the moment when you realize you no longer have a hangover

[ocd]

Slowly pressing down on the french press.

[cabbagechild]

reading an entire email written in transliterated korean...

(these coreanos i knew freshman year in college actually did this, sent each other emails written in transliterated korean, partly because back then, there was no korean-language support on the internet, or at least i don't think so...)

[akuma]

the money shot

when the president of the company says "I don't give a shit what other people think of me!"

hearing and feeling the wind

as it stirs the trees and moves the leaves

that have fallen to the ground

the whole mass lifting and blowing past your legs

stinging your ankles and filling your nose with the first hint of autumn rot

[liquid mass]

Yeah, in your dreams, buddy.

i KNEW you'd see that

[shammy718]

finding all the albums you want on the vinyl list in yer head

[filipEMO]

me: but last night i wrote like a million pages of stuff and typed out even more on random peoples lj's
her: aer you serious!?!?
her: oh man! i want a prfession that involves a pen!

me: why would i of all people? :-[
her: i dont' know, i think you have a great mind because you come up with amazing things, theres always conversation with you, you aren't into material things
me: wow
me: no ones ever complimented me like that before
her: well now someone has
her: i really mean it too
her: you're great mister justin. =]

[lakebottom]

hearing someone playing guitar in some other part of the house

[shammy718]

^yeah, i like hearing drums down the street...

[JLS]

The second the ridonkulously inebriated and increasingly obnoxious person you have been babysitting all night finally SHUTS THE FUCK UP and passes out.

[t3h1337p3nguin]

Need I say a first kiss?

Cracking the top of a crème brûlée.

Pissing after a road-trip.

[cabbagechild]

suddenly remembering that virgil's famous fourth eclogue was attributed to the sibyl of cumae.

[lakebottom]

^I'd say that's more sublime than beautiful.

[lakebottom]

I like it in Elliott Smith's songs when his voice is hoarse on the verge of cracking. it shreds my heart.

[tangent23]

holding hands with someone you love

[YelloKitty]

standing on an empty muni platform across from sbcpark; it's cold.

[randall fairbrook]

the fear of getting near the end of a wonderful book and knowing you have an equally wonderful one waiting to start...

This thread is becoming pathetic. Okay, I'm going to be man enough for all of us. All right?

The feel of your fist crushing the jaw bone of some queer.

Or how about this classic? When the tip of your penis enters a womanly vagina. Or "shooting an enemy soldier with your assault rifle then cutting off his ear?"

You know what's sublime? When your favorite football team scores a touchdown.

When a monster truck rolls over a row of foreign jap cars!

how about the the feel of my penis entering a manly vagina?

[sumtinsumtin]

smell of a cold fall morning mingling with tha scent of a girl you thought you knew, the light commin through the blinds making the inners of your eyelids illuminate with a brilliant crimson and gold, the first deep breath before you open your eyes...

thats man enough for me i guess...

or would that be manly vagina?

seriously, wtf is a "womanly vagina"

besides retarded, i mean

A beautiful moment is when a gentle kitten rubs against your heel as you're picking daisies for your lovely lady.

I did not know you were joking at first. :(

stick that in your mangina. A fucking talking doll, thank you very much. And she has a name. Tina. Got it?

A beautiful moment is when you're reading something and thinking to yourself "this is really good," right before realizing you wrote it yourself. At which point you start finding flaws in it and you decide it now sucks.

It's just that I don't believe any fucking thing anyone says on here anymore. Not your fault.

[liquid mass]

My name is talking tina and I am going to kill you.

Never thought you'd see Telly Savalas so scared, did you? Now that was a beautiful moment.

[sumtinsumtin]

add one more to the twilight zone, lovin it at work today :D

[Robocon^^]

^ what's black and white and pink in the middle?

thinking it's spring

that's pretty cool

the smell of clean steam bellowing

from the dry cleaners window

in the back alley

the smell of potatoes cooking

coming from the detention center

the smell of ground metal

from the welders in the alley

behind the justice center

[louis.christian]

thinking your phone is ringing because of the vibratingof the performance exhust on a OC.T tuned german car.

[ocd]

The first bite of really well made sashimi.

[YelloKitty]

when you flush the toilet and it looks like it might overflow but then the forces that be suck it all up and you're like "thank you jebus!"

and your hand slowly moves toward the plunger

as your feet slowly move backwards from the potential contamination zone

[ocd]

^beautiful, ALB...beautiful.

we've all been there

some more often than most

Killing somebody. Just knowing you're going to prison and that your life is over. Then you wake up and you're still freaking out, but then it slowly starts dawning on you that it might have been a dream. But you're not sure. So you think about it. Yes! You realize it was all just a dream. You truly feel as if you've been given a second chance. A great feeling.

[fightgenie]

^I been there
except for the whole "dream" part.

[meemeep]

Being right.

[noeruna]

going outside at 5 am and seeing the cresent moon above the neighborhood houses. then hearing the first sounds of the day, a lone train whistle and waking birds.

[sumtinsumtin]

looking out my window and realizing its a new day in LA, soooo far from detroit, the story has gotten away from me and its nice.

[happy]

What the hell does that even mean?

[lakeside resort]

When I realized that not only was I the president, but that I was also a client.

[ocd]

Congratulations!

[AddictProne]

when you realize that everything you thought was horrible about life seems to make perfect sense... yet you know that feeling will go away in an hour or a day or a week but you know that right now everything is perfect.

space looks sooooo peaceful.....if it weren't for the whole......"can't breathe" thing, i'd totally be up for visiting it....*space* that is.....

[shammy718]

stories being rewritten


when the breath steadies during a walk


cool evening breeze entering window

[charlos3000]

well aside from not being able to breathe, you'd literally explode in space. here on earth's surface we're under 1 atm of pressure at all times. This is the weight of the atmosphere on top of us, literally holding us together. The amount of pressure we're under is something on the order of 102 kPa which is 14.65 PSI.

in a vacuum like space that lack of pressure would literally pull you apart!

kissing someone and smiling from the joy of it
and then peeking a little and seeing them smile too
