I'm Broke

Today I paid my rent and electric. Honestly, who do you people do it. I mean, I have a week left and its down to my last few bucks. Don't worry, I'm not destitute by any means. I mean, I am a man of means, and by that I mean that my fiance can help me out till payday.

Sometimes I say all the right things all the wrong ways. I mean, I know what I'm saying, but there is so much left to be interpreted. I have a notion that girls and guy speak different languages and we have to translate each other without even thinking about it. I love my fiance more than anything, but sometimes its like the only thing I can say it the wrong thing. Girls and guys are just so different.

Its like the overused gag. There is a guy standing there, and his girl walks in. He says to her, "Baby, you look great today!" Every guy in to world is thinking at this moment, "Man, that's a great line. I should write that down." But then the girl replies, "What!? I don't look great everyday?"

Sometimes it can just be the wrong time. each side faces it, but the real test of a relationship is when it's the wrong time and everything is sideways and it just doesn't feel good, but we decide that the good times are good enough to weather the bad. We know that we love each other more than it hurt to work things out. The good times wouldn't be the good times if we had nothing to compare them to.

New Beginings Are A Lot Of Work

So this is the first of many blogs I intend to write in the next season of life. I guess it would be somewhat helpful for you the reader to know a little bit about the person that is writing what you are reading. First of all let me let you know that I am a firm believer in Jesus Christ, but I have some major issues with religious cliches and nonsensical babble passed off as spiritual. I don't swallow anything before taking a good long look at it. That includes everything. I may be a tad too analytical. I am a horrible speller. Just then I tried to spell the word, "speller" with two 'E's. No matter, I spell check like a mad man but somethings still fall through the cracks.

I am starting a new blog obviously but there is something else that you don't know. I have just moved from my parents home into an apartment in the neighboring city. "Trying to gain some independence?" You may ask. Well, yes and no. You see, I'm getting married in six weeks so I have to get some type of home in order. My parents, who are loving and supportive, don't seem to have any strong feelings about my moving. This may be because they have had three other children do the same thing. I being the forth to do so, they may just be over it. My wife-to-be's parents on the other hand have been enthusiastically involved with the entire process. They, having only one child if you don't included the paraplegic-wiener-dog, have been very enthusiastic about the whole wedding/home preparation thing. I am grateful for all of it

New Beginning, New Year, New Guitar, New Kitchen appliances. Its all so new. New freedoms, New house, New Home, New Wife, New Life, I just can't take it all in. I want to take advantage of all of these thing at once, but I can't, so I jump from one to the other. All the while time flying by. I want something to make me pause and reflect. Maybe even capture the moments and the thoughts that I've had along the way. So, really this thing is for me, but I'll allow you to come/read along. Don't get to overly excited, my life can be a little humdrum for most, but maybe you can appreciate the simpleness.
