It's the most wonderful time of the year...

I can't believe it's been since APRIL that I last posted here. It's not that nothing has been going on, in fact... too much has been going on. I've been using this blog primarily to just write down any "deep" thoughts or what some may consider brain farterings, but rest assured, they won't stop.

You know, just today I was reminded of the fascinating novelty that thrives in the human existence. That thing is the absurd, illogical and most sought after desire to have no consequences to bad decisions. Now I am no angel. We are all at fault of this.

We all have a natural desire to do something that will satisfy a need or want with little regard for the consequences ESPECIALLY when those consequences are not immediate. I should not eat fast food, but I do. I know that one day it could kill me, but it won't right now and I can always quit later... low and behold I got pretty fat there for awhile and very easily could again. Some people smoke. They know they should quit and want to quit but just one more... quit tomorrow... next thing you know it's 40-60 years later and they have cancer. I should be at the gym, but hey I am tired... We have wants, needs, desires that always come before consequence but being the short-sighted beings we naturally are, we just move forward with what feels good, tastes good, looks good for the right now. How much does this problem scale? Look at healthcare legislation. It will cost trillions.... later...

My wife made a bad decision on September 23, 2006 (our wedding day) and she is suffering the consequences. Every. Single. Day.
