On the subject of marriage.
So marriage, is that the time when you find eternal bliss and you are so happy, etc, etc, or is it when you stop looking for the one and decide to settle?
Think about the relationship you're in now. Imagine the fizz went. Imagine it stopped being so much fun. You could still stay together, if you worked every day to smile and be nice to each other. And if you forced yourself every odd weekend to do something romantic like go out for dinner, you could kind of be getting along.
The traditional view of marriage is that it's when you meet "the right person". But perhaps, there is no right person and we are all semi-matched to one in every, say, 15 persons around us. A successful marriage might just be the one where the people continue to pump energy into their interaction with someone else, until they die.
With that in mind, should we be drawing different criteria when we try find "the one", like ability to talk about interesting stuff on cold, dark days, and positive / negative outlook on life. You know, the real tinned can stuff you need for when you're trying to make the long haul with someone.
There's a debate indeed. Perfect person, or never ending input of effort...
So anyway I'm doing good... Work is so hmm... It's OK at the moment. But it's a lot to take on. It's like a huge spiral staircase. As fast as you climb, there are more stairs above you, as far as the eye can see. I've been put on this task queue you see, and I just keep taking tasks off the stack and solving them. But there's always more tasks on the stack :p Well at least I'm getting a lot of them done.
Hey you know, I live in London, I should be having a great time all the time. I'm going to start something. Cool Saturdays. There, it's official. I'm going to do something good every Saturday, or try to.
I want to go snowboarding sometime soon. I found all these shops in London who have websites, and I was checking out the waterproof trousers (That's what I need mostly, that I don't have) and they're pricey but at least now I know where to go. So I'm going to get the kit I need and learn snowboarding. And I might start that group I said I'd start :p I've still got my plans that one day I'll dominate the London social scene :p You just wait and see...
