10 loves of mine

[marcusfreestone]

I love going for a walk very early morning when there's nobody around and the birds are tweeting and the world seems ineffably peaceful

I love staying in bed for hours with a really good novel

I love cooking a meal that someone else visibly enjoys

I love hearing a new band and thinking 'wow, they're brilliant'

I love it when I'm writing a novel and I suddenly have an idea that excites me and I can't wait to write it to see what happens

I love being in bed with my girlfriend's dog curled up at my feet snoring away

I love seeing a comedian who tells me something unique and interesting rather than just 'doing material at me'

I love recording a guitar track and then listening back and realising that it actually sounds quite good, not like something I've done

I love those days when I go to bed feeling that I've accomplished something creative and good and have used my time wisely rather than sitting on my sofa eating pringles and ossifying

I love the music of RUSH, how it makes me feel vibrant and alive, and everything about those three amazing guys
