I am convered in skin....noone gets to come in....or so it used to be
so jen and i just got back from an awesome time in new hampshire and burlington...we went jet skiing, on a shop and save hunt for 45 minutes, flying down rapids with homemade tubes, swimming, "barbados and alaska in the same night" hardy har harr, made dinner with potato flakes and canned chicken haha, smores over the stove with every chocolate possible, made lists of people haha..the other list, went to burlington, met up with evan and robie at mikes house, went to good time emporium where we played games and i won tehe...then we played lazer tag which was a blast and a half..watched some of summerslam, went to the 99 for dinner..with the waitress christine who got a chuck e cheese token for a bonus on to her tip haha..then wentto dunkin donuts and eventually parted which was wicked sad since i didnt wanna leave mike i missed him so much..but anyways..then we woke up watched some t.v and then came back to mansfield ...listening to country the whole way..obviously :-D all in all..a very excellent trip..or as we come to say now...sexcellent ;-) haha
i also had the strangest epiphany while i was away....marriage can actually work. i realized that it is possible for people to find one person they can be with for the rest of their lives and only that person. i saw this when i was looking at my grandfather in new hampshire while my grandmother was back at their house in burlington...seeing him without her right there..it was weird..it didnt seem right..and he wasnt his usual self either..it seems like in order for a marriage to work, from what i gather..not only does the couple need to be madly in love, but also be willing to put them and their happiness above their own..they need to realize that marriage is a bond and unification of souls..that not just after the ceremony, but even before..when they are deciding they are the one and only person they would want to be with forever they are like one person, a unit..and not just in it because its the common thing to do, or they are scared they wont find anyone better than the person they are with...thats where many couples go wrong..by either settling for the person they have out of fear and insecurity, or by thinking too selfishly and trying to get something out of it for their own benefit..when people get married it should be like theyre saying hey, i want to be with you forever and when people think of me i want them to think of you too because thats how perfect we are for each other..i dont want them to see us as 2 different people, but rather as one unit working together to find happiness and fun in the sometimes unfortunate events the world throws our way....but then again, how often does this happen..who knows..sure, the divorce rates high..but whose to say someone perfect for you isnt out there but if you close your mind to it...its not only hurting you, but also them..because theyre not marrying you, theyll probably end up with someone they arent supposed to be with..someone who will hurt them, or who they will hurt...also seeing my grandfathers face when he saw my grandmother for the first time in 2 days..two days! thats it and he was already distraught without her!...his eyes lit up and he hugged her like they hadnt seen each other in months or years...it seems as though older people have been together because back then women were taught to be homemakers and now with juggling careers and conflicting schedules..people get far too stressed out to deal with anyone living with them..and seek other "friends" who turn into more than that because they create the illusion that "the grass is greener on the other side" when really..people just need to appreciate what they have and think more carefully about who they are sharing their life with..well this is kind of pathetic..but thinking about this stuff is actually making me cry haha...stupid isnt it..well im out..
