Things that never get old

I'll start with one: I've been using the internet since the dial up days back in the mid to late 90s so I grew up used to terrible speeds. I just got a notice from displayfusion to upgrade, clicked on download and I watched it go from 0 to 100% of the 15mb file size or so never dropping below 2.4mBps took like 10 seconds. Every time I see my speeds on Steam or downloads it feels like a little race with me cheering all the way "Gooo yeeeah! 20% left come on! YES!!"

 

Brings a smile to my face no matter how many times I try it, can't imagine how happy I will be in the future if I upgrade to 500mbps or gigabit internet

Coca Cola...

 

I can't have the normal stuff now (too much sugar for a diabetic, one of the few things I do adhere when it comes to eating right) but lately I've been liking sugar free energy drinks: I still get the old rush from coke but due to the extra caffeine.

e-mails and mail irl

 

To add to that: packages. Sometimes I caught myself planning new rigs and all then I realize I just really feel like opening some packages and don't really need the upgrades, but finally getting stuff delivered, tearing through that tape and packing materials, oddly satisfying.

drinking plain water

 

Yes, particularly if you live in a really hot city like I do (we've been getting 38 to 40c temps this past days) and you drink water that's not quite ice cold but fairly cool so you can drink it really fast without issues, so good.

I love receiving packages in the mail. I am a very patient person, but everytime I order something from Amazon, I will check the tracking on the package atleast 3-4 times a day to see if it's getting closer to me.
