Long Day

Today I got up a little earlier. Actually thats kind of a lie. I woke up at six, but I didn't get out of bed till 6:30. I did however go to work a full hour earlier. I punched the clock at 7:08. Do the math kids... I went from work to my folk's house. Saw the old room. It didn't look like mine anymore. It was pretty much to same as I left it, but I guess everything is switching over in my head. It's cool though. I like the place and I dig the independence. Work has been killer. Got a good ten hours in today. This next check ought to be massive.

My grandmother gave Jen, my fiance and I a little bit of money as a wedding gift. Honestly I felt a little guilty taking it, but if you've read the last blog then you know my situation with money. I'm rather sick of computers because I work them all day, but they are the only source of entertainment around here since the tv isn't hooked up. Even if it were we don't have much of the way of seating. Reminds me of an episode of the office were Mike mentions his tiny flat screen tv and says that he stands there and watches hours of tv. I think the best thing about watching tv is the fact that you are sitting and being a bum. Lately the best thing about watching tv is that I sit there and be a bum with my fiance.

I unpacked a box today. I like to feel like I'm doing my part around here. Jen has done so much, but sometimes, at the end of the day, I don't feel like being productive. I have to fight my lazy ways and help out around here... said the man typing on the computer while his fiance currently cleans. Oh well... Looks like she's done, gotta go

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.
