Driving my new van (whole bunch of sentimentality at work there), and listening to 'Tozovac - Lule Moje,' will generally cheer me up.

1. working on my cars, or any car for that matter (venting frustration from the week/day)
2. having a beer/bundy with mates sitting in the pool listening to music at full blast
3. going for a cruise with good mates and some good driving
4. a good day at the drags/races

What makes me happy? To be able to give stuff and money away, and do crazy things like paying for somebody's groceries at the supermarket for no sane reason.

I'm happy if I can make somebody else happy.

Mate you couldn't have said it any better. I feel the same. But I also have to say that my fiancé and soon to be wife makes me pretty happy as well.

Washing the car (soon to be over thanks to water restrictions).

Hanging out with my mates, one female in particular.

And studying, sounds weird but i like to learn and feel like one day it may get me somewhere, only one can hope.

The rain.

Whether I'm rugged up sitting inside next to a fire watching a good movie,
Laying in bed with the windows open so I can hear it falling,
Or, Believe it or not, working outside in the rain.

The best thing I have done was spending 7 hours in Yakandandah Forest recovering an Armoured Personnel Carrier up a cliff in the rain. The whole time it bucketed down. I had full wet weather gear on, the ground was slippery, I got filthy but I had a ball.

I also used to like cuddling the missus on the couch, but she don't cuddle me no more, so I'm buying a big teddy bear.

Dont have a GF so that makes all of the above possible.
