Well look at that. It’s been a while. Hi. So guess what’s new? I bought a house and moved into it. It’s pretty sweet. I also married my girlfriend of two and a half years. We’re as happy as pie! And finally this weekend I bought a carseat and a stroller! So the supposedly three big things in life, we’re doing them all this year, house, marriage and kid(from here on called Squirt Jr.). You could say we’ve been busy and that’s true, though now things are settling down at least for a few months.
Jamie is due in November, and from what I’ve been reading the following three months will be quite difficult, but not impossible. However I am looking forward to actually have a kid. A lot of people my age that I’ve talked to have sort of loomed it over me as death sentence (Your life is ending! Have fun never doing what you want…etc). Though I see it differently. Having a kid means I get to do all the kid stuff all over again. Play with legos? Check. Watch Saturday morning cartoons? Check! Scribble wildly on papers? Check! Go to the circus? That too! And what is better, I get to do this with someone who will think I’m the greatest person ever.
I’m optimisitic to be sure. And maybe I have high hopes that while be crashed against the rocks of reality. But I don’t see the end of my life coming soon, just a new adventure. A happy unexpected twist. PS: science.notsoevil.net – my plan to have all the answers a kid could ever ask. PPS: still have to find a theme that I actually like.
I think Wolfram|Alpha beat you to the punch on the questions thing.
Yea, I had thought about that but decided this would be a much more effective way for me to stuff that information into my head. Not only that it gives me a chance to personally reexamine some of those seemingly simple questions that I may or may not actually know the answers to.
