Some of you may know that I’m a huge fan of LOST (thanks to Katie). If you don’t, you do now. I was sitting here trying to figure out a quick way to blog about the month of December as I know I don’t have time to blog as much as I should and I realized that numbers are pretty much a representation of how this month is for me. So here comes the explanations:
- 2: The number of years Katie and I have been married (as of December 2, 2008).
- 12: The number of hours I am trying to work on average each day to earn some savings for possible unemployment come January 1, 2009.
- 15: Paisley’s age in months currently.
- 20: Katie’s age in years currently.
- 26: My age in years (as of yesterday).
- 75: The number of lightbulbs we replaced on our Candy Land tree in order to get one of the two missing strands of lights to work again this year.
I’ll take a quick moment to go over some of these in more details. Read the rest of this entry »

Why is it so hard to coexist?

I have had several political conversations the last week that have really had me asking a lot of questions:
- Why are all politicians liars in some form or another?
- Why is it impossible to be involved in politics without being a hypocrite?
- Why is it okay for the government to be hypocritical but not for its citizens?
- Why won’t people just vote for the candidate that most similar to them so that we can get rid of this stupid bicameral system?
- Why are people so uninvolved? Why do we wait until something effects our daily lives to care about it?
- Why is everyone so greedy, selfish, or inconsiderate?
However, amidst all these questions the only truly important one I find is:
Why is it so hard for people to peacefully coexist?
Faux Hawks are so Nineties

So Katie and I watched Gossip girl tonight (we missed it last night). In one scene I realized that my hair is slowly starting to resemble Nate’s due to the length and how unkempt it is.
Afterwards I was talking with Katie when I said (mostly jokingly) that I should grow my hair out like Nate’s. She replied, “I think it’d be weird to see you with long hair. And it’d be weird if you didn’t have the same haircut as your boss.” I managed to keep a straight face as I said: Read the rest of this entry »
The Significance of a Date

There are a lot of things in our lives that we cling to emotionally. There are things in our society that we find important enough to have a general expectation of remembrance for. Most of these things are important events. The date of our wedding. Our birthdays. Graduation dates. The date of a significant religious conversion or ceremony.
Then there are those dates that are significant to us personally that mean absolutely nothing to anybody else in our society or even the world. Read the rest of this entry »
