There are a few more pictures, if you really care that much. Click here!

A Strained Departure

I can only apologize to myself for not keeping up on this.

It's been such an exciting week.

I'll post pics of the car, I promise.

Dissonant Complacency

What does it take to be truly happy?

It's an interesting though, happiness. What is happiness? When is anything ever enough. As humans, I don't think we're capable of complete happiness. There is always a desire for more. A bigger house... a nice car... more DVDs... more friends?

What's your addiction?

I take happiness in any form.

It's been interesting, being married, because you get to understand life from the other side of the fence. Growing up, what you understand of love is passion. When passion fades, what you normally are left with is two young broken hearts.

I think I had dated for long enough to know what I was looking for in a companion, and I think I was mature enough to understand that marriage doesn't survive on passion alone (though it's certainly nice to have). What you need is Satisfaction. And Understanding. The Satisfaction that you have everything you're going to need in a companion. And the Understanding that no one else will put up with your shit the way she does.

So, while you wonder whether or not you can do any better, the answer is no, but your catch is pretty good to begin with.

Wow, that felt good, I haven't sworn in a post in a while...

Dedicated to Jake, who came and fixed the malfunctioning Muratec F-300 whilst narrating his life to me.

Perpetual Insomnolence

I don't really know how my wife puts up with my sleep schedule. Before I had met her, sleep did not come often, and it did not stay long. I was sleep's bitch.

2 hours here, 4 hours there. A total of 25-30 in the week. It wasn't a bad way of life. I was always a little tired, but overall, I was fairly satisfied with my way of life. Sleep came second to enjoying the times of the day that most people take for granted and spend snoring, or kicking their partners.

I used to like to think of the myriad of possibilities of things I could have been doing at that time, sitting there... wide awake, believing that I might actually fuel enough motivation to get away from the tv/pc and do something constructive. Not by choice.

I'd rather have been sleeping.

I've been married for 2 months now. In my new house just the same. Exhausted all the time. Not because of marriage or the house. But because of the schedule I run. The job I have. I used to work from 1pm to 11pm or so... Now I work a 7 to 4:30. Where I used to go to sleep at 6am and wake up at nine, I find myself in bed and tucked in by 10 pm.

I sleep almost twice as much as I used to, now.

What does that mean? Am I healthier?

Or am I just wasting my time?
