Say anything
but say what you mean.
When you whisper you want this
Your eyes tell the same
We are gaining speed
I can barely breathe
'cause I'm caught in suspension


Things are pretty alright lately. I feel I have really matured in the last few months. But I have a long way to go. I want to hold myself to a high standard. But I have a great commitment to my professional development due to rotations, I think my relationship is improving each week, and I've reconnected with some friends and found a much needed balance in my life. I still don't like how I'm working full-time for free due to rotations, I still want more money and things, and I still don't feel like I workout enough. But I can't complain one bit. More or less, things are in balance.

I can't believe how early people get married these days. Mark my words and hopefully I stick to them--I'm not getting married before 30. I just don't think you can be ready. To each their own but the thought of living with someone is terrifying. Maybe I'll get married before 30 if I found the right person who shared my views on marriage. I don't think it should shake your whole shit up. Maybe I'll get married to a person but live in different houses. Though the tax benefits of marriage are better with one household. Hm, might have to get with an accountant on that one. But basically, I think I'd be too independent to live with a girl and sleep in the same bed and everything be an "us" proposition. But I'm sure I'll be completely different in 5 years. Or maybe not? So, summary: Marriage might work sometime before 30 but right now the optimal arrangement would be a house with two separate wings for male and female and a common area. Interpersonal dynamics would be treated as a more serious relationship. Each couple would put 25% of after-tax income into a common shared account for couple expenditures and rest would be stored in personal accounts. A pre-nup WOULD be signed. And no pets or kids. Maybe one low-maintence dog which would not be allowed in the male sector as a compromise with all care and expenses paid for by female. That's the my American dream.

So I finished acquiring the soccer jerseys I wanted in the meantime. The Arsenal and ManU ones are on the way and the FC Barca one just got here. It's so amazingly tight. I might even pose with it for a MySpace pic. We are talking love here, people. Anyway to bring you up to date, here's what I own:



And some I am still interested in acquiring:



Okay. Sorry state law requires I update about Madden, shoes and/or jerseys in each entry to prevent my girlfriend from liking me too much. BTW, the new Madden is hard. But I'm slowly getting better. Alright, done on all these topics.

I have been making some kickass mix CDs lately. Soon I may post about a few. But I have had tight music for my 35 minutes car rides to and from rotation.

Goodnight.
