Another Answer for Marriage
OK, I went a little too far this time, but I’m not quite sure that I did. So I’ll throw this out to a larger audience for guidance.
When questioned about my decision to get married by a rather liberal female friend, I tried to pull her leg a little and answered her with this –
Well, ______, I thought about this for a while and I even did a cost-benefit analysis. Yeah, seriously! See, _______, I thought that I have a lot of needs, but if I were to pay for a therapist, a maid, a surrogate mother, a daycare that could parent — not just babysit, an investment strategist, an accountant to help with taxes, a whore, and more… I’d probably be broke within a year. So, I was thinking that a wife was a pretty good idea.

1501
Well, I got slammed at UPS last night. I didn’t really notice it at first, but then my supervisor kept suggesting that I hop out of the feeder to get some of the irregs (packages that are 70+lbs or really large and irregularly shaped) up off the floor in front of my feeder.
Anyway, I had about twice the irregs that I normally get and on top of that I had a few hundred packages more than normal. So, tonight I hit 1501… meaning I loaded 1,501 packages (actually more, because sometimes a package won’t scan.)
This makes me really happy, because I am the first one in the group that was hired when I was to hit 1500. Also, it means I am 3/4 of the way to doing 2000 in a night, which would be sweet because I get a cool T-shirt and bragging rights. Gotta love bragging!

Way Too Lucky
For those of you who don’t know, I am getting married on May 5th — in like nineteen days. Since the wedding is getting closer and closer I have been corresponding with a number of old friends from High School and that Fort Myers life in general. All of them are congratulatory, but many of them also come to me with all sorts of questions about my decision to get married. They almost always ask with the perspective that the decision might be hasty or wrong in some way.

Discussion on Aging
This came up again tonight at UPS, so I thought I’d go ahead and type up the gist of my thoughts here, because I’ve felt this way for so long.
I wear gloves and will soon be wearing earplugs when I work at UPS. Not everyone does this, in fact, most people do not wear any precautionary paraphernalia. So, people wonder why I am bothering to do it.
Here are my thoughts behind doing so…

Dogma, Schiavo, and Jean Paul II
To anyone that has seen the end of Dogma this will probably ring a bell pretty quickly…
I just signed out of hotmail, and the headlines at msn.com were about Jean Paul II and Schiavo passing away. That instantly reminded me of Kevin Smith’s take on euthanasia from his movie, Dogma. I laughed. I am wondering if anyone else out there finds this somewhat amusing or at least interesting.

April Fool’s Day 2005
Well, I made it through April Fool’s Day only being tricked by Google. I thought that I was going to be tricked at UPS, because our supervisor said that he bought us all pizza to eat after work, but that turned out to be true. It was really good for not being Papa John’s. In fact, I had two slices of the sausage pizza and liked it, which is impressive because I am normally not too into sausage on my pizza.
