This was supposed to be my weekend, a weekend I was looking forward to, but it ended up being my weekend in a completely different way. I stayed home and decided to work on a project I had been thinking of for years. My own very stand-ing tread-mill d-esk. (avoiding the google) My experience with carpentry isn't extensive, so I just drew a picture of what I wanted. I then measured to make sure it would be the right height and size. I took the drawing to Abram and got his input. Other than the obvious question of why are you building this, he gave me some pointers and ideas. Then I went to Rino who went with me to Home Depot. It was a cheap purchase, about 4o bucks, including 4 pieces of wood, a hand saw, 4 shelf brackets, nails and some screws. I got home and tried to cut the top desk piece to the right length. Even with a brand new saw, my skills were weak. I got about half way through before Abram finished the job. I then put it together just like I had imagined in my mind. It took me a while and unlike putting furniture together, there were no instructions, so I was just making it up as I went along. Rino helped me nail on the legs braces and my makeshift desk was built. It fit like a glove, impressive, but it was supposed to have an inch grace in each side, so I got real lucky. It worked just like I wanted except that I have trouble pushing the buttons. It isn't too shaby looking either. We'll see what will come of this, but the feeling of being accomplished was well needed.
I was asked to be a groomsman in my friend Jon's wedding. It was quite an honor to be asked I think. White tuxes, I know. I've known Jon since the 3rd grade, but have been terrible at keeping in touch the last 10 years or so. It is going to be here in Texas on June 13th. This of course is a week after my cousin Adam's wedding on June 6th. Those are going to be busy back to back weekends. I'd say it seems like the world is getting married, but I have a feeling there are more weddings coming. I've thought about getting married in the past, I have, but it has never panned out like I expected. The main thought I always have is how expensive it must be. There is no way I could afford to have a wedding, much less even purchase a respectable wedding ring. I used to know a girl who was pretty set on a Tiffany's band. I looked it up and wow. Of course, like anything else, if my life was ever at a place where marriage was an option, I'd make it happen I'm sure. I guess the ideal is to be with a person who doesn't care about the ring, or the wedding and just wants to be with you, even if that means going to Vegas or doing something redicoulously small. I guess you want the best of both worlds right, a person who feels like that and then at the same time giving them the day they deserve. Cause for me, it is the person and type of relationship that matters more than the details. My biggest fear is to get married because I think it is the right time in my life or thinking it might provide security in a rocky relationship. It needs to be for the right reason/person. Then again, maybe setting unrealistic expectations can be a problem too. Why you're likely to marry your parent
It is hard to be aware of your character and personality flaws I think. They are part of you and must be there for a reason. Even when you notice them, it isn't easy to change what has been so natural, whether innate or learned over time through habit. I was thinking about mine. I know I can be very argumentative. (I'll skip the justification) Also, I can be somewhat agoraphobic and make my friends think that I'm not spending time with them because of them. I have trouble doing things at a moderate pace, my approach tends to be all or nothing. This creates much burn out and a revolving door of new hobbies. I'm where I'm at in life because of who I am, so I can't complain too much. I guess I just don't know what my ideal self really is. I think about this stuff when I decide I'm in a rut and want to be better and create a more fullfilling life. What changes would I need to make, would they even stick? Maybe I'll just never be a morning person.

Gotta Love the Onion : FDA Approves Depressant For The Annoyingly Cheerful (VIDEO)
