getting old

August 28th, 2009 Troy

I can’t wait to get old. There is a long list of advantages that those in their golden years enjoy that we can only dream of.

For example, quietly muttering to yourself. I’ve tried this when I’m alone, and it’s awesome. Imagine being able to talk quietly to yourself about the people directly around you without being committed to an institution.

And suspenders. The few times I’ve had the pleasure of wearing suspenders (weddings) have been really enjoyable, but there’s no way I could get away with that now.

Senior citizen’s discounts, AARP benefits, the list goes on and on. I turn 30 next month, I might be able to pull off wearing suspenders then. We’ll see how bad life is on the other side before making that call though.

• Why do I get a headache almost every single Monday? Have for years now. It’s not food, caffeine, sleep… follows no pattern. WHY?!? #fb #tt #
• If you’re paying attention (and sometimes even if you aren’t) there is no question when you encounter Truth. Hits you in the face. #fb #tt #

nine years

June 10th, 2009 Troy

Nine years ago today, it was a sunny Saturday in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I woke up that morning nervous and excited. I was going to get to do something that day that very few people get to do: marry my high school sweetheart.

Nine years, 2 states, and 1 awesome 4 year old later, and I love her more than ever.

Thanks for having me Missy!

customized pricing?

June 8th, 2009 Troy

I heard a commercial on the way in to work today advertising an insurance plan where you “name your own price” and they come up with a policy to match.

Really? Is anyone else reminded of the old slimy car salesman bit: “How much is this car?” “How much do you have?” “$5,000.” “This car just so happens to be $5000, must be your lucky day!”

Whatever happened to “you tell me the cost and I’ll detemine it’s value”?
