Disclaimer: this post has nothing to do with making money from blogging.

Keeping in the style of posting just to get thoughts out of my head, and hopefully making a certain someone smile in the process.. here's a post that's completely irrelevant as far as most of the world is concerned.

So here is the 3 step process that worked for me:

1. Start a blog, and post to it almost religiously, even when you have to resort to rambling on about absolutely nothing
2. Find a beautiful girl and decide that you want to spend the rest of your life with her
3. Somehow attribute that success and happiness towards the fact that you have a blog

And no, I will not apologize to anyone expecting me to post about "stuff".. if you're reading this, you're gonna be subjected to whatever is consuming my thoughts at the time. Eventually, even though Faith will still account for 99% of my thoughts, I may toss out some brilliant posts about important things – like turtles with rocket packs.

It's been nearly a year since I moved to my new apartment, and moving day is just a few weeks away. I've been doing a lot of reflecting lately, and I'm less than pleased with the last 11 months. I've made some stupid decisions, some mistakes that I wish I could undo, and for the most part my situation has remained unchanged. I have come to terms with a few more things that have been eating away at my happiness for most of my life though, and that feels like a pretty big accomplishment.

If I could go back and do anything differently though, I don't think I would. I mean, there are definitely things that I regret, but to undo any of those would put me in a different place than I am right now.. and I'm really digging my current situation. Beautiful girl that loves me almost as much as I love her – got it. Decent, albeit boring and sometimes ridiculous, job – got it. Possibility of moving to Australia or some other awesome place with the before mentioned girl (I don't really care where, as long as I'm not chased by pitchforks.. and it's with the girl) – got it. A blog where I can keep referring to Faith as the "beautiful girl" and no one can do anything about it – got it.

I may not be living an exciting life right now, but I've found my happiness.

Oh yeah, and sometimes I sing. And people seem to think that I don't suck.

That is all.
