What is your idea of the good life? Here's one of mine: paragliding above the California coast... 8)
-
pretty much that. the beautiful clean, fresh air. no city noises. must be amazing and relaxing to just hang in the sky like that.
-
Surfing in Maui or chilling on Big Beach? How about both... on the same day? 8)
-
a philosophical quandary for the ages..
-
I ponder this daily.
For me personally, the only calming/healthy thing that makes me happy is nature and good relationships with other people.
Other than that, happiness comes from excitement, or things that make my adrenaline pump. This has lead me down a road
that has some bad consequences at times though.
-
For me, being near the water is key. There something about seeing the waves break on shore over and over without end… And hearing it that brings me a feeling of total peace and pleasure. It is difficult to describe or appreciate if you are not into it. Sleeping at a beach house and waking up to the the sound of waves. Or spending the night on a boat and waking up to the calm waves of the ocean... Sigh! 8)
If I had to live inland away from the coast I would be most unhappy. :-[
Another one of my favorite places... the Keys and Key West.
-
several things make me happy.
lifting.
making out/making love/cuddling with my gf.
looking up at the stars on a clear night.
looking at massive cloud formations and sprawling skylines of various colors.
discussing philosophy and philosophical issues.
going to a club and dancing with my gf all night.
flexing in front of the mirror.
meditating, when meditating comes easily.
watching good movies.
listening to good music.
singing.
-
Not one metal bar loaded with weights in any pic.
-
A massive house
A nice car
A great family
This is all i want in life. I aspire to have a great body aswell. But we all know that doesn't last forever.

To tell the truth, i have never understood the motivation to participate in activities like this, by the time you save up your pennies, buy the ridiculously expensive equipment, learn what your doing, drag all that gear up a cliff, drag it all back down again, fight the elements, spend a shitload of money, get sun burned and lose your wallet all to drive home and realise you left something back at the cliff. No, hobbies like that make me tired, you could achieve a similar chemical reaction in your body jumping on a trampoline. Sports like that are for wankers and showponies!
-
Oh man I could post a million pictures of all the shit I love seeing and doing. I have 4 weeks in a row off this summer. I'll be riding my bike all over the country visiting at least 10 national parks. Going to be doing lots and lots of hiking. Nothing like drinking some whisky and smoking a good cigar in front of a fire at night, waking up in my tent, and admiring the natural beauty of wherever I am. Living simply and minimalistically is the good life to me.

my vision of the good life is posting on getbig 100+ times a day until I have over 80,000 posts with every single post informing people of the evils of those pesky commie libs and the antichrist Obama...

Sorry, I missed all of them - can you please be a little more specific about your agenda

I've been recently pondering this as well. I live close to the beach, about a half mile from the ocean, and the people at the end of my street are on deep water, but that's not the end all for me. We live in a modest house(400-500k) and live comfortable. We have a condo up the street that we rent, and that, with our investments, will be our retirement(we are both 30 now). I pay an extra $1,000 a month on my mortgage so that I can have it paid off in 10-12 years, barring any unforseen circumstances. Our cars are paid for and we can live how we want. We recently took a two week trip to Europe, and have standing vacation every winter in St. Maarten. I own a construction company, that in a few years when my wife is hopefully done working, will support us. I thought about getting a bigger house, or a new car, but I thought, why? If I do that, I won't be able to take the trips that we take, or go out to dinner on the weekends. Financially stable, for me is happiness, becasue having a load of debt can really do a number on you. Americans are like that though, if they can afford a 400k house, they get a 600k house, and then wonder why they have no money. You hit the nail on the head Bay, going places, seeing things, and creating memories are much better than having material things that just take up space.

Hmm. Perhaps you are telling us more about yourself than you intend to. :-\
Think about similar activities like sailing, skiing (snow & water), scuba diving, or cycling. All of those activities come with cost and a learning curve. You appear not to be one of them, but some people actually like to learn new things and seek out activities where learning something new is required. You have obviously never been to Mussel Rock Park (seen in the pic above). It is not a cliff one has to climb up or otherwise ascend. You drive up to it and park your car/suv in the lot at the top of the cliff and off you go . . .
In a very short post you refer to cost/money at least three times (saving pennies, ridiculously expensive, shitload of money, lost wallet). Given your preoccupation with $$ clearly this sort of activity is not for you. Fair enough. To each his own. 8)

I'd like the blue shirt plz...

i DONT HAVE A PRE OCCUATION WITH MONEY, I just wouldn't throw it away investing in New-Age yuppie Activities - I have cycled since I was 4 years old, and still ride weekly, no exorbitant costs - there is not a sight on this planet I would travel to see, I have always wondered about those retards who fly half way across the globe to enjoy a view, talk about pretentious, some people are just born wankers. All those wankers with jetskis, hang gliders, parachutes are just lost fools, wasting there life on meaningless activities in a vain attempt to keep up with the Jones, all the while becoming all the more spiritually bankrupt. Like the world in it's current condition needs all these middle class wankers and there middle class show pony activities rubbing salt in the wounds of all the hundreds of thousands of people their western governments kill and slaughter so they can enjoy retarded hobbies like para sailing and hang gliding and jet skiing. Bunch of pathetic poser losers. JMO

Finding that quiet spot--natural, and just taking in the essence, the beauty...absent of all man made creations. For nothing man has ever made can match the nautral world.
Yes, I know there is a bridge...

If you get your bike at Wal-Mart then there are few costs to cycling, but if you have a real bike such as a Trek or Cannondale then you are going to pay. A decent race bike from Trek will cost $2000-$3500. A good bike from Cannondale (the SuperSix line for example) will set you back $2200-$12000. That is easily as much as (or more than) the cost of a glider.

Throw in helmets, shoes, clothing and accessories and it can all add up. A few months ago a friend of mine who is a serious rider got into a fight with his wife because she would not let him buy another bicycle (he already has five). You may dismiss this as “ridiculously expensive” and a “shitload of money” but remember, this thread is about the good life. One cannot usually have that on shoestring budget. If bouncing on a trampoline is your idea of the good life . . . more power to you. :)
Me? I'd prefer to be wind-surfing in Maui. 8)

i have a $300 bike and put about 50-100 miles on it per week depending on free time and activities. last summer i was riding about 30 miles per day. not for exercise, just for transportation to and from work and to the gym and back. after a couple months of doing that i got in my car to drive it for the first time and my stomach was churning with feelings of guilt as i polluted the planet and wasted precious resources. ;D my town has a very nice bike path with grass and trees on each side of it going through the middle of town, from one end to the other, about 6 miles long (12 miles round trip) that i use whenever i go anywhere. it goes through all the major cross streets so no matter where im going i have an exit to get off of. love riding my bike. thats one of my favortie things to do. put on my ipod and sing while riding, or just go without any music and listen to the beautiful silence and admire whatever the time of the day has to offer in terms of scenery. do some of my best thinking while out on my bike. doesnt cost a thing.

My perfect idea of living the good life would be that everyday is the same....(except if I went on a vacation or something)
I would like to wake up in the morning, walk outside and exercise or just soak up the fresh air...I would have a nice house in the desert in New Mexico (weather is nice there, not too hot like Arizona)....I would like that I could see mountains outside my window when I wake up...I would have a nice beautiful woman living with me who will cook all of my meals, massage me when I need it, and bang and blow me when I need it....she would be a great conversationalist as well (between the blowing and banging)...I would have a nice faithful dog that I would walk in the morning.....exercise and lift weights in the morning as well...then settle in and watch some cable and read the newspaper...maybe I would teach part-time at a university to keep intellectually active...I would read books, watch more cable, eat some more, and surf the web....I would not have to worry about paying bills....would have a few friends who come over every now and then to have beers and watch football with, and talk about women....then take a shower every night with my woman, watch more cable...eat some more....bang..and then bed..to start the same thing all over the next day....
that would be an amazing life for me

Larry Ellison bought the island of Lanai. Ever been there? I have. It's about 9 miles off the coast of Maui. I'd say that qualifies as the good life. 8)

Old news but worth recording in this thread: You know you're living the good life when you demolish a 17,178 sq ft mansion and decide to build a new one because you want something bigger and better!
Was Elin Nordegren‘s house hunted by ghosts? No, it wasn’t. Yet, she decided to demolish her new Florida house. The reason? She wanted something bigger and more beautiful. According to TMZ, Tiger Wood’s former wife has hired an architect to build another mansion. Funny thing: every worker who gets near her future house has to sign a confidentiality agreement. No one has to steal her idea, right?
Meanwhile, Elin is living in a nearby mansion while the house is under construction.
Elin bought the North Palm Beach house in March for $12 million. The house is 9,000 square foot and it has 6 bedroom and 8 bathroom.

What a wasteful c-nt. Silly bitch could have just bought an empty lot and save millions. But then again it wasn't like she had to work for it.

It's blatantly obvious E-kul is the hater in this thread.

I can identify with Parker and Bays posts .
it comes down to having the right balance of pleasure and pain.
Life is an adventure. Anything else is unacceptable.

I was thinking the same thing. I bet he doesn't go to parties; attending would be "ridiculously expensive," he would have to spend a "shitload of money," and he might lose his wallet. ::)

Have you spent much time in Hawaii? We go there pretty regularly. I snapped these pix on the Big island when I stuck my camera out of the window... Given the range of water options there, Hawaii is one of my favorite places. Not sure I would be happy living there though... :-\

I've never been to Hawaii, although I presently have a lot of vacation time accrued and a strong desire to go. Several people have told me that the industry there pays quite handsomely for the work I do.
Alas, I'm currently single and saving money for some investments and a side business I'd like to start up soon. Oh, the decisions that confront me on a day-to-day basis here in "narcissist land!" ;D

Congratulations on knowing what you want in detail. That's half the battle. Most people don't know what they want or where they're going. As a result... any road takes them there. Those who know what they want, and keep a firm vision of it in their head, usually find a way to acquire it. Good For you! :)

Indeed it is. Dunno when you were last there but the amount of development in Poipu (where I typically stay) is sure to surprise you if you could see it now. It's still gorgeous beyond measure, but you can see that "old Hawaii" is going away fast. :'(
Enjoy it while you can.

Really? That photo brings back memories for me... but I have mixed feelings about those memories. Sure a T-bone tastes great, but I have moved so far away from steak in my diet that it looks almost foreign to me. And when I see that photo, I am just as likely to think about heart disease as I am to think about how good the steak might taste. Bay no likey heart disease. These days, if I have a steak twice in one year that would be a lot for me. Now, a teriaki or encrusted salmon is just as appealing to me--more even because it is a healthy choice. :P

Steaks? Almost never. Chicken all the time. I enjoy pork too, but not as often; duck as well, but rarely have it. I would never give up meat, but yesterday I attended a luncheon at work. It was catered and the dishes were chicken or encrusted salmon. I chose the salmon and it was as good as any steak I have ever had. I left the lunch totally full, but I didn't have that bloated feeling that so often comes from eating and digesting a steak. When I got home after work, I had a small sandwich as I was not hungry enough for "dinner." If I could eat like that every day that would be the good life. :P

nice. I don't feel like eating as much fish as meat protein. I don't know why. Most guys I know simply don't want to eat 300 - 400 grams of salmon. It is too much.

Most (young) guys don't think much about heart disease or their family history for that sort of thing. I confess when I was 21 healthy eating wasn't high on my list of priorities either... but as you get older, and your knowledge base increases, your priorities change. For me, enjoying The Good Life means living long enough to do so. Mike Matarazzo used to talk/brag about how much meat he ate... that did not end well for him. :-\

you can eat all the steak and eggs that you want and you'll be fine
stay away from sugar, refined carbs, etc..

The lipid hypothesis is undergoing a much-needed overhaul. Animal fat is not as "evil" as it's been portrayed, but sugar is only detrimental with not one health benefit.

the good life, for me, definitely, living in cabo verde, where my wife is from.

I am already plotting my next trip to the Keys; I went three times last year. Sure, everyone goes to Key West and it is fun, but Bahia Honda Key (about 35 miles north of Key West) is my favorite Key. Chilling on the beach there is the good life defined! Relatively few people know about it so it is never too crowded. Bay likey! 8)

You probably shouldn't have posted this. Now that we know about Bahia Honda Key, we'll all flock there and it will become crowded. Living in Oregon, around this time of year the keys look like a slice of heaven. Care to join me in the shower? I didn't think so.

Somehow I doubt that many of you will be flocking to Bahia Honda Key since some of you do not like beaches and unless you live, or are routinely in, Florida it is too out of the way. I recall that E-Kul (now calling himself Radical Plato) would prefer to bounce on a trampoline. But if you do manage to make it to BHK, I say more power to you. Everyone should enjoy The Good Life! Bring a romantic partner. S/he will love it! :-*
