Name That Tune

Finding that one song you did not remember the name, of but remember only some of the lyrics

ELTFSHR

Sincerity Soiree

Hanging out with someone where you can just relax and be yourself rather than have to overanalyze how to fake being a social human.

The Gift of Glee

Waking up Christmas morning as a 6-12 year old.

Those 6 mornings were just freaking magical. I don’t think anything can touch the pure, unadulterated happiness.

Sure I had my wedding day, and I was very, very happy, but there’s always a tinge of grown-up worry, you know? Maybe she won’t show, or maybe someone will do something dumb, or maybe it won’t work out in the long run.

But those Christmas mornings were pure. There was no worry. No sadness. There was just Christmas.

Gastrointestinal Opera

Having a bad stomach ache, one that seems to build and build, worse and worse until…

You let it all out in one loud gassy burp. I’m talking belch bro. Full on BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP.

So refreshing.

Rainy Day Royalty

For the record, I’m British.

Coming home from pouring rain, cold, thunder, lightning, the lot. Turning the kettle on, making a good hot cup of tea. Take it into the bathroom and leave it on the side to cool. Getting into a loooovely warm shower. Washing off the cold rain with incredibly hot water. Getting out of the shower and into my bathrobe. Taking my first sip of tea as it has finally cooled down enough to drink.

The Cat’s Handshake

When your cat pats you with her paw, then falls asleep on your hand.

Snow Whispers

As a kid, when my mom would quietly walk into the room and instead of waking me up, whisper “It snowed, schools are closed, go back to sleep.” The content feeling of drifting back off and knowing what a fun day of sledding and snowball fights lay ahead was easily the best feeling in the world.

Puppy Love and Naps

Playing with a puppy or kitten and being their whole world, then having them collapse into an exhausted heap in your lap.

Letters of Liberation

Well, I woke up with two letters one morning. One was from a group that gave out scholarships that said they would pay for my room and meal plan (or cash equivalent if I chose to live off campus) and another one from the university I would not have to pay tuition.

That might have been one of the happiest days of my life. My parents already told me they were personally going to take care of financing my education, but I took care of that myself. I wasn’t going to be in debt and I made my parents so proud. It was probably the happiest I have ever been.

From Pain to Pawsperity

For me, it’s something a little bit different. When a sick animal comes in, and you’re able to take the pain and the fear away by treating them, the look of palpable relief on their face is pretty much the greatest thing in the world. I’ve seen animals that were clenched up, thrashing about, and striking randomly at people they normally cared about, but because they were in so much pain they couldn’t differentiate what was happening. The moment they’re able to get over that edge, to where they realize they’re gonna make it through, is something that words can’t really describe. The satisfaction of happy owners, some who know their best friend is going through a lot of pain, but can’t help, and they get to see their friend come through it is a huge bonus as well.

Take off your socks after a long day of work and scratching where the elastic band sat all day.

Subtle Scratches

Going to a show (concert). That moment when you’re in the middle of the crowd and everyone is singing the same words and it’s like time isn’t real.

Sneaky Snacking

When you’ve been craving a particular food or snack and you finally get it and you can gorge in private like a filthy animal.

Happiness Reloaded

Seeing someone you’ve missed dearly after far too long. It doesn’t have to be a partner, it could be a family member or a good friend. But nothing is better than seeing that person you’ve been waiting for.

Metal Lullaby

Earlier today, I was still pretty sleepy in the taxi on the way to school. I was listening to some really good Black Metal (Lunes Funèbres by Frozen Shadows for those interesting) a the time. So at one point, I just decided to close my eyes and take a short nap. After a short while, I started feeling the most amazing feeling ever. It was like I was alone, with nothing but the music guiding me. I tell you, it’s the most wonderful feeling ever.

Thrifty Bytes

I’m weird, but: getting a PC for under 30 dollars at the thrift store. Buying a new SSD for it, maybe changing the power supply, and firing it up. Now you can choose whatever OS you want to use.

Or just fire up your own custom-built PC that’s way better than what you had before.

Dapper by Dark

Putting on a dry outfit after swimming in a pool. Laying back down in bed after peeing in the middle of the night. Putting on sweats after a shower at the end of a day spent working outside in the cold.

Crack of Dawn

In my case, turning my neck in exactly the perfect way and cracking the one spot that I couldn’t that had been bothering me for an hour.
It’s such an instant feeling of relief.

Hydratiopia

When you haven’t had anything to drink in forever and you have a glass of really cold water and it’s the best tasting water ever rained and you can feel its liquid goodness flowing down your throat.

Metropolitan Musing

When you’re on vacation in a city you’ve never been in before and you’re waiting in line for something (of course) and you’re just looking around, enjoying the feeling of being somewhere new, but it’s also peaceful and a little introspective as you spontaneously absorb the whole city’s vibe through your senses in ways we don’t yet understand, and you’re learning more than you ever did from a book even though you’re just standing in line for a thing.

Splinter Surgery

Pulling out a stubborn splinter.

When you’ve been digging in the region, and what was once just tender and inflamed is now a sanguine portrait of clumsily shredded skin, then from amidst the carnage a small piece of non-human brown becomes visible, and with heart-fluttering focus tweezers reach out and pull the mushy, still disconcertingly solid fleck of torture from the temple of your body.

Instant relief.

Nose Unplugged

The first day of feeling healthy after a horrible cold/flu. You forget how good feeling normal feels! You can smell, food has taste, and the amount of energy you have feels incredible! I usually celebrate by sitting in my basement watching Netflix and turning the lights off.

Quest for the Missing Sock

Finding something you lost days ago and have been looking for ever since.

That feeling lasts all day. You’ve been looking and looking to the point where it changes how you live around the house because you’re always looking under the couch or in the laundry or wherever, and then when you find it, you just get that great feeling of “I don’t have to look for this anymore” and nothing is as relieving.

Keeping Up with the Conditions

Right now, I’m undergoing some serious medical care in a bit of a baffling case. I also have two diseases, and a condition, though none of them life threatening. One of the diseases is under control, the other decided to fool around with me here and there. Anyway, about a year and a half ago, one of the specialists on my medical team said: “Don’t worry, I’m verbose. I will never give up on you.” Each morning I wake up and feel like sh*t. But, honestly, knowing that (and having her stand by that) is the best feeling for me, right now, in the world.

Heartbeats and Healing

For me, it was finding the right person

Over the last year and a half to 2 years, I’ve been trying to work a lot on my mental health as I’ve grown up around quite a bit of trauma. Relationships have never lasted because of it and I met this girl my senior year of high school. Originally it was just a fling because I planned to join the Air Force after graduation. After that fell through I said f*ck it and took a 2 year hiatus from school to deal with my living and financial situation all the while having her support through it all.

About 4 or 5 months ago, I started noticing little things about her that always caught my eye. It wasn’t until last week did I realized that I’m head over heels in love with this girl. I’ve never wanted to spend my life with another person until now

She’s my forever person and the person I love more than anything in the world. If it weren’t for her, I know for a fact I wouldn’t be writing this right now. She deserves the world and I plan on giving it to her when I finally resolve my mental issues to a spot that I deem acceptable.

A Hard Day’s Harvest

You rise before the sun. You work all day; grueling, back-breaking stuff. You sweat and cuss and ache and pant.

The sun is on its way down but you still have work to do. You keep at it until you’re finished because you have to. Can’t get behind or tomorrow will be worse.

Finally, you’re done. You make your way back to your house that’s been paid for with work like this.

You take a seat in your rocker on the porch. You take a long look over your land and the fruits of your labor. You understand that it required every drop of sweat, every swear uttered, every sore muscle, and every second of exhaustion to earn this feeling of pride.

You take a sip of a glass of sweet iced tea, lean back in your chair, enjoy the slight breeze that rolls through as dusk settles in, and smile.

I imagine very few reading this will understand exactly what I’m talking about but that last bit of the day… it doesn’t get much better, OP.

Ear’s Looking at You, Doc

The last time I went to my doctor for my annual physical, he was checking inside my ears. Said my right ear was good, but my left ear had a lot of wax built up. He took this long plastic tool and said “Don’t try this at home.” The doctor proceeded to scrape off some old wax in my ear. MY GOD. What a feeling. I try my best to clean my ears, but I guess that one makes so much wax that I must have missed some and over time it just amassed. It was an indescribable feeling of relief, mostly cause I didn’t even know I needed it. It was awesome, and I kinda hope he does it again next time I get my physical.

Sirens of Sweet Vengeance

Traffic Justice. Seeing that douchebag speed, cut you off, drive on the shoulder in traffic, or cross the double yellows in the carpool lane without signaling because he/she is better than everyone, and then feel the pure wave of satisfaction when you see a cop out of the corner of your eye take ’em down. Then I laugh as I drive by, knowing they have what is coming to them.

Storytime: I was driving south for what I believe was Mother’s Day at the time, and there wasn’t a significant amount of traffic on the road; everyone was cruising along. There had been this jack*ss trying to weave through the cars without having the common decency to put on his blinker. Large oversized truck with steel nuts hanging below, and an inflated ego. I equate the level of annoyance to a mosquito constantly attempting to violate your airspace, yet never having the ability to swat away its life. However, as hard as he was trying, he never made much progress at all – a subtle victory I suppose. I’m sure we’ve all seen this person try so hard to make headway, but never really accomplish anything aside from annoying everyone else around them. I’m in the fast lane and he’s in the next lane over, both of us moving at the same rate, but he’s clearly having a rough time with this. He cuts me off and then crosses the double yellow into the carpool. I silently abhor his existence. To make matters worse, I see he has influenced an otherwise gentle soul who, about three cars behind me, also decides to cross the double yellows. His wickedness was spreading. I took a deep breath and put mental closure on the situation, confident that the universe would deliver karmic justice at some point, however bittersweet, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to witness the event go down. Little did I know that I was in for a treat this day. Unbeknownst to me, the second car that had crossed into the carpool lane was an unmarked highway patrol officer. I hadn’t realized until I heard the recognizable audible chirp from their loudspeaker and the flash of blue and red from behind the windshield. A wave of satisfaction flows over me. However, the cherry noticed that there was no second passenger. A smile overcame me, and a quick nod to him as he slowed down and I passed. Traffic justice had been served.

Crampocalypse Now

Chris Wooding mentions this in one of his Tales Of The Ketty Jay books and says the best feeling is that relief you get after a cramp. You wake up in the middle of the night, and for a millisecond, you’re not sure why, then you feel that tingle.

You suddenly know what’s about to follow, that excruciating pail that leaves even the toughest of people rolling around in bed, and even when you sit up properly and start rubbing your leg you can’t stop the oncoming wave of pain.

When it hits you, it’s so much worse than you could ever imagine, it’s like every other cram you’ve had was just getting you prepared in life for this final boss battle in your leg. You could sit up, roll around, clutch your leg, try and stand up, and start screaming into your pillow, but nothing will help, you’re stuck lying still and riding out the pain. Men start to wonder if this is what childbirth feels like, women start to wonder if getting kicked in the balls feels like the horrors that are a leg cramp, the pain feels like it will never stop, and some people consider taking their own life just to get it over with.

Despite the pain being so horribly excruciating, the feeling of ecstasy when it finally diminishes makes you forget all about your ordeal. You lie there, staring at the shadows dance across the roof, and wonder if it’s worth going through all of that pain again just to feel the relief of a cramp going away.

I completely agree with him, and one of the reasons I’m not getting out of bed to find the proper quote is that I’m devilishly sick and have woken up twice tonight with leg cramps. Fitting.

Fast Food, Faster Healing

I injured my back a couple of years ago and spent three weeks lying in bed flat on my belly. Every other position caused excruciating pain down my whole left side.

I ended up having surgery, my first time being on an operating table or under general anesthesia. I was hurting, scared, etc. The nurses and my doctor very kindly and gently prepped me, and the anesthesiologist rolled me down the hall, on my belly. The last thing I remember is looking up into the anesthesiologist’s crotch as he wheeled me along.

A few minutes later I was lolling on the recovery room bed, sort of bobbing up and down on an ocean of drugged semi-sleep. That lasted roughly forever.

Then my wife walked into the room. I was suddenly alert (and she says the spike on my heart monitor is the best compliment I ever gave her). My back was completely pain-free, and I suddenly realized the surgery was over and I was healed. Then I realized she’d brought me McDonald’s.

That was the best feeling in the world.

Raindrop Retreat

Imagine you are driving in the pouring down rain and the rain hitting your windshield is the outside world trying to beat you down. As you are driving you go under an overpass and for a brief moment, the rain stops and all feels right in the world. Calm and serenity overcome you. Life is good.

As you continue driving, a brief second later the rain is beating on your windshield again. Oh, how you cherish that brief moment of being under that overpass. An overpass that you wouldn’t even notice any other day that wasn’t raining.

That’s what it feels like when I get home to my wife.

Rolling Reunions

Going snowboarding with friends, surfing with friends, or skateboarding with friends.

All of these activities are amazing in their way but if you add friends, perhaps ones you don’t see but once a year due to distance, things become euphoric. You remember those days in their entirety and just hope you get to repeat them next year…

Rhythmic Resonance

Getting together with a group of friends and just jamming. It’s like having a great conversation with friends, but with instruments, and as far as I am concerned playing guitar is more fun than talking.

Also winning for the first time feels godlike. I am a bowler and just won my first tournament a few days ago. Even better it was a baker tournament. (If you don’t know what that means, it is a regular 10-frame game but with a group of 5 people. Each person in the group plays 2 frames.) It felt amazing to not only win for the first time but to be able to share that experience and feeling with my friends.

Out of Office, Out of Mind

The minute you are officially ‘on vacation’. I don’t watch the news, I don’t keep up with work emails, and I completely shut out the entire rest of the world and just focus on my vacation. Worries do not exist. Bills do not exist. It’s my absolute favorite feeling.

Beyond Labels

Being really close friends with your crush to the point where you can just take a nap in his bed while he plays his guitar softly beside you. Where he can drive you around town, go bowling with you, eat dinner with you, watch movies in his basement or at the cinema, cover your eyes at the scary parts, invite you over for poker parties, give you fantastic hugs, and lift you off the ground and spin you around like a child. Being close friends with his siblings and is treated kindly by his parents. You feel like part of his family. You’re a part of his world, even if you aren’t formally dating. And in a way…you wouldn’t want to mess that up by dating him and then breaking up only to lose it all. You can have bliss without the formal titles. You aren’t just some girl hopelessly crushing on a guy that won’t even look at you. He knows you exist. To me, that is the best feeling in the world.

Sweater Weather and Wagging Tails

For me, the best feeling in the world was this past Christmas day. My wife and I adopted a dog in September so it was his first Christmas with us. We got him a new blanket and a couple of sweaters. I, myself had a rough few months at work but changed departments and have been doing better. I was on a workout/diet regimen since October and lost 40lbs with a week-long vacation from work/regimen to look forward to. So it felt like Christmas when I was a child The anticipation/slowness building up to the big day. Christmas finally came and we had coffee and opened presents and ate candy and cookies and it was just wonderful. We went to the lake and had a bonfire and smores later that day. I looked over at my wife and told her that this was the best Xmas ever. We have jobs, money in the bank, a plan for the future, our health, and each other. That feeling of warmth and contentment is the best in the world.

Nasal Nightmare

I had a blood clot in my nose once. I couldn’t breathe through it for over a week. I’m taking a long hot shower trying to clear it when suddenly it happens, I feel it shift!
I lean forward and start to not gag as I feel it in the back of my throat, like a gummy worm caught past your tongue. I gag, cough, and this huge slimy blood clot comes slithering out the back of my throat into my mouth, and cough and spit, and this abomination of nature lands on the shower floor writhing like a dead alien slug, almost pure black with red slowly running off the edges.
I go to inhale through my nose, and I feel more instantly and start gagging in earnest, on the verge of throwing up. I cough and gag out another mouthful spitting out more.
Breathe, gag, cough, repeat about 6 times.
I grab my net pot and rinse out my sinuses for the first time in a week. Black and red are running out. I do it again and it finally starts to run clean.
I’m soaking and shaking at this point, completely exhausted, but by god, I CAN BREATHE!!!
I towed off and stumbled to my couch to watch TV just enjoying the sensation of no sinus pressure and my nose working again.
Good times.

Heatwave Therapy

Ok. Hear me out. If you ever have a rash (I have eczema so I have a rash almost 100% of the time) or a bug bite, run SCALDING hot water over it. It feels sooo good and the “good” feeling overrides the pain of the actual heat. It’s also got some sort of science backing it but I’d have to look it up again.

Pixelated Promises

Before my little brother died, I promised him I’d beat Dragon Quest 9 for him… We’d been trying for over a year as it was, but we couldn’t get past that final boss.

My sister and I did it, just over a week ago. It was bittersweet, but oh-so-perfect at the same time. After 4 years of grinding, and then it all just fell together. And the ending itself almost made me cry. Evan would’ve loved it.

Goo-Goo Giggles

Holding a baby, and having them giggle and smile at you, or just have them gaze at you with that quiet sense of questioning and wonder. You just want to hold them and protect them from ever having to grow up in this world we live in, and you just want to freeze time, just for those few precious moments, extend them into months and years.

Fur-tunate Encounters

I fed a stray dog (puppy back then) that lives near my building once, played with it a little, and went on my way. To this day, each time he sees me he runs to me like it’d been waiting for me. Due to some complications at my building, I can’t keep a dog at home but the feeling I get seeing him run at me excitedly to greet me every time he sees me makes me wish I could take him in and feel like that all the time.

Sky High and Feeling Fine

The freefall portion of a skydive. It’s the most intense feeling of freedom I’ve ever had. It’s like being drunk or high – except instead of muddling your senses it seems to heighten them instead.

Reviving the Relic

After getting a 53yo motorcycle running that had sat unused for decades, taking it for the 1st ride.

I think it will be like that anyhow. When I wasn’t working, I had no $ to work on it. For the past 5 years, I’ve had no time.

But, years ago I got my 50-year-old Harley running again, and that was the only time I screamed WHOOWJOOYAAAHH while riding. Right then I came upon my friend/neighbor who was hitchhiking.

Mango Aftermath

It’s not when you hold a warm mango at peak ripeness, heavy for its size, the smooth curves filling your hand. Or when you slowly peel the skin off that mango and smell it’s the floral, musty aroma. Or even when you take that first nibble of its firm but yielding flesh. It’s not when the warm mango juice drips down your chin as you take bigger, hungrier bites, and it’s not when you scrape the pit to get every last molecule of the creamy, sticky, orange flesh.

It’s after all that. After you have washed your face and changed your shirt. You can’t help but feel a little bit ashamed of yourself, but you are still basking in the postmango glow. Once you are in that post-mango comedown, you floss out the mango fibers packed between your teeth. And each pop of the floss is such a sweet little release.

That’s the feeling.

The Road to Redemption

getting a new car after relying on public transportation for a while. I remember when I got my Mazda how i would stare at it from my dad’s passenger seat. (we had it on a trailer) and the headlights disappeared more and more in the darkness, as it got later in the evening. and then, after 3 weeks of needing more and more repairs, I finally got to turn the keys and hear the 2l V6 roar.

In the Itch of Time

I’m surprised nobody is saying scratching an intense itch. When the itchy feeling is so strong that you must stop everything you are doing, it is so distracting and annoying, but once you start scratching, omg; sometimes it even turns my eyes white, the pleasure is AMAZING.

Project Chaos

I’ll say it, shameful joy.

Some context, worked a job where my work was crushed and deleted. Managers blamed me for everything and other colleagues never spoke up and sat quietly and agreed with me but never wanted to “start drama”.

A year of me doing my due diligence. Warning my managers, and our department head, making suggestions, and trying to create change.

I said, “If you don’t modernize and use these techniques, we will fail.”

The project is in literal free fall and I gave my resignation and today is my last day. This feeling, knowing they’re failing after all the warnings. Of every single prediction coming true. Every single piece of advice I gave was ignored…. to watch them fail in the exact way I warned them to… and the worst was they said “You knew this why didn’t you try harder to warn us!”

I’m sorry, but you can bring a horse to water but you cannot make it drink.

This feeling though. I tried. I worked so hard, 60 hours a week. Working weekends. I did everything I could but if people don’t want to save themselves then I have to at least, save myself.

… and that feeling of walking away, of finally being done with it and knowing it’s crumbling, that feels good.

Quadzilla Unleashed

When you flop the best possible hand in Poker, you know you can’t lose, and people start betting.

I flopped quads once, one guy caught a full house with the flop (pocket Kings) and another guy hit his house on the turn, (Pocket 10’s)

I had flopped quad 9’s.

I had late action, and we were all in at the end of the turn.

I had to try so hard not to show my sh*t-eating grin, this was the largest pot at that point that I was ever going to win, ($2200),

The best part is I got to show last. That was a good feeling. Watching the other two fellas’ faces go pale.

And now I’m off to the casino!

Mistletoe Moments

I think the best feeling is that fleeting, ephemeral glee that rushes through you in unexpected moments. Perhaps it’s near Christmas time and you’ll soon be going home to see your family. The lights are hung all around the city, on the trees and the facades of old brick buildings. Around you, everybody seems to be happy. You’re dressed warm and cozy and maybe you’ll walk along the sidewalk through a little bit of snow, but the snow doesn’t bother you it fascinates you. You’ll brush a little off of your shoulder. Everything is okay at the moment, and you only have things to look forward to.

You’ll smile for a moment because you just have to, it’s involuntary, and for a split second, you’ll know true happiness. Nothing binds you. Nothing distracts you. You understand why the couple in front of you holds hands, why the homeless man on the corner smiles despite his frigid cold, why the twinkling reds, blues, and greens of Christmas lights fascinate you, why the cold air refreshes your lungs, and why you love a starry sky above city lights.

Sibling Surprises

This is a story of how my little brother made my birthday.

On my 15th birthday, I just wanted a simple birthday dinner with my close friends but unfortunately, none of them were able to make it out. As my family and I were heading to dinner I was noticeably upset. My family did help me cheer me up and that put me in a considerably better mood, but everyone could tell I was still a bit upset. Little did I know my brother had already something planned out.

The next Sunday, my mom told me that she didn’t want to cook for a while and asked me to come to Costco with her to get some pizzas because as she put it, “she was lazy”. So we get there and she orders four large pizzas from Costco. Although at this point it didn’t register in my mind that this was an abnormal thing.

As we were getting home she then told me to go through the front door to help my dad move out our old TV to throw away. Once again I’m still in a completely normal state of mind as this is happening. As I open the front door I am completely bewildered to see ALL my friends in my house yelling SURPRISE as I opened the door. Nothing could have prepared me for that and honestly, it was one of the best feelings I have ever felt in the world.

Apparently after seeing me so upset, my brother messaged all my friends via Facebook and asked when they were free so he could set up a surprise party for me. The execution though was the best part. He even got my parents super involved in it as well.

Soulful Sympathy

Having someone genuinely thank you after you’ve helped them.

One of my best friends was going through a really tough time after a bad breakup and a suicide attempt. I let him know I was there for him, listened to him, talked to him, gave him advice (I’m studying to work in mental health), and gave him space during social gatherings which I knew were tough for him.

After about 6 months of improvement, out of the blue, he gave me the most heartfelt and sincere thank you I’ve ever received. Hands down the best thing I’ve ever felt.

Shedding Light on Learning

Seeing the light go on when a student finally understands the concept they’ve been struggling with. It’s addicting and why I became a teacher.

Chapters of Charm

Getting to the point in a book that makes it a great book. Not necessarily the climax, but when you really get into the book. It could be the first page, a few chapters in, or right before the climax. It’s always a great feeling for me.

Sock It to Soreness

Take a men’s cotton sock, fill it with rice, tie a knot to keep the rice in, and heat it for 2 minutes in the microwave. It’s the best heating pad you’ve ever felt – a lovely, penetrating heat that gets into sore muscles. The best part, you can fall asleep with it and not have to worry about burning yourself.

Racing Heartbeats

When you are running, and you are running so fast, all the adrenaline is pumping, you’re body gets surged with energy, tension, a vibrant alive kind of tingles that is like a subtle current running through all your muscles and you feel explosive. Also, same thing when swimming.

Shuffle Couture

Shuffling and handling a deck of cards in good sleeves.

I don’t know why and I don’t know how but that makes me so insanely happy and gives me good feelings that that alone makes me come back to several trading card games/card games.

When Stars Align, Knuckles Resonate

Cracking my knuckles. But not all knuckle cracks are created equal. After doing it for the past 38 years or so, most knuckle cracks are ho-hum. But when the stars and planets align just right, I get spectacular cracks with my forefinger knuckles (pressing down toward my palms).

Tipsy Tumbles

So this is a weird one. Getting home drunk at night, stripping off, and getting into bed. Something about being drunk makes your skin slightly numb, so I do like a running motion with my legs in bed under the sheets and it feels so strangely good. It’s like my drunk ritual when I get home now. Introduced it to my SO and she does it now too!

Pump Paradise

The greatest feeling you can get in a gym, or the most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is… The Pump. Let’s say you train your biceps. Blood is rushing into your muscles and that’s what we call The Pump. Your muscles get a really tight feeling like your skin is going to explode any minute, and it’s really tight – it’s like somebody blowing air into it, into your muscle. It just blows up, and it feels really different. It feels fantastic. And so can you believe how much I am in heaven? I am like, uh, getting the feeling of coming in a gym, I’m getting the feeling of coming at home, I’m getting the feeling of coming backstage when I pump up when I pose in front of 5,000 people, I get the same feeling, so I am coming day and night. I mean, it’s terrific. Right? So you know, I am in heaven.
