Not worrying and being in a situation enjoyable enough to focus on without thinking about other stuff. Bliss.

Some of my most enjoyable moments involve watching boats at night. In NI, I used to go down to the lough a few hours before dawn and watch the lighted fishing boats putting out for a day's work. The early morning is dark, cool, and the sounds are the distant talk of the fishermen, and the shorebirds.

To this day, watching boats in the dark helps me re-centre after a particularly trying day.

Anyway to put it simply, we can't use firearms for self defence in the UK either like you yanks do. I'm hoping that handguns become legal here one day though.

Not a legal requirement, just responsible gun ownership. I don't own guns for self defense, they are for hunting or pleasure. In the time it would take for someone to break in I could be locked and loaded. Safe does not necessarily equate to inaccessible. Not a fan of hand guns, only own one. They are too easily miss used.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

My favorite cousins are visiting from Dallas today -- I'm going to meet them over at my mom's house in a little bit. Big smile creasing my face right now.

If I was facing your crease I'd be smiling too . . . .

Well, you'll have to find your pleasure elsewhere, Craig.

I can relate, though probably not in the same way as you. I'm not anti gun, in fact I love to do some target shooting off and on, but other than an airgun, I don't own any weapons. I'm anti every idiot being entitled to own a gun. I'm also against the hunt as a sport. If it isn't to feed yourself or someone else or to regulate a certain wildlife population, I can't see the appeal of killing.
