The Un-Funk Thread. Big Victories, Small Victories, and Stuff that Makes You Happy - We Shall Start With Darius Rucker "It's Alright"
Doesn't have to be music, ladies and gentlemen; nephews playing baseball, kids graduating, pets bouncing, small victories, big ones (like getting a pilot's license, Hell Yeah!), life's victories, life's benefits (announce your anniversary here!), promotion at work, back to the gym, didn't lose any teeth today, what ever it is...
ETA: Oh, and it rained. First rain in months. Need it for the fields.
I'm happy today. Went to the gym, inlaws (who I like) are visiting, the cat is asleep on the table behind my computer, and the dog is passed out at my feet.
God bless.

So, another couple of good things. I'm happy today.
First, I will update the "I taught a Friend's Kid to Shoot Today" thread as he came back for more fun here.
Plus, I had a bit of a victory today. I do a lot of project work, where I take an equity interest, rather than cash for my efforts. Today, I was offered 5% of a soon-to-be NASCAR racing series. If nothing else, it will be one hell of a lot of fun.

I won an awesome Karma the other day courtesy of bobandmikako!
Getting stuff always makes me feel good. Making others feel good feels good too, so I am trying to start a “Karma Train” - Look for my post.
Besides that, it is a sunny day and I am getting things checked off of my “Honey do” list. It may sound trite, but life really is 5% what happens and 95% of what you do about it.
Choose your attitude, realize many, many folks these days are not as blessed as you and be happy with what you have. Stay positive, things can always get worse.
What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???

I'm happy to wake up, and live the life I've been gifted with. Had highs, and very deep lows. I'm with Rucker, It's alright!

Never been into GL other than his most rated song. But once you figured out the embedding I listened to the end, twice. Got the headphones on. I like it. Been a long, good day.

Thanks - it only took about 18 tries to get it right. Persistence pays off. Let the un-funking continue!

This week is spring break, so a lot of coworkers are out. I work in a quad, and I am the only one here today. I got everything I wanted to accomplish done before lunch because there were zero distractions. So now, I am going to desktop dine and browse some Sigforum. Awesome!
If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

This made me happy and I needed Unfunked and possibly unfucked from the past week. FN SLP that I bought out of the classifieds here and she runs. Proper sling ordered and I have 3-6 round shotgun cards coming also. Cook some supper and possibly listen to some music.
I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.
