Most of the finer things in life are the simpler ones, too.

Here's a short list of things I consider necessary to life:

Pizza
Beer
Deep Breaths
Music
Bad Steak Dinners
Really Good Paper
Really Good Pens
Headaches
Unrequited Love
Numbers that Add up
Challenges
The Ocean
Humor
More Beer

I feel like making lists is a good way to express yourself. My friend Sara once did this for a creative writing class, echoing the Top Five Lists from High Fidelity. If you could make a Top Five list from the things in life - best music, best moments, best friends - you'd probably get to know yourself a bit better.

If I had to make a Top Five list from that list above, I'm pretty sure that beer would still be listed twice.
