Current Tunage: Mutemath – Noticed
Has anyone else noticed the UNCANNY similarity between the start of this song and the start of Starflyer 59′s “No New Kinda Story” (from their record Everybody Makes Mistakes)? Yikes. If it wasn’t twice as fast, it would be far more obvious. I’m hoping it’s just happenstance or imitation, not stealery.

So, I’ve been thinking. Thinking what? Thinking that there’s some things I’ve done following my wedding that I probably would never have done prior (or at very least, would have avoided doing at all costs until there was no other option). I also thought it would be fun to share them, since they’re tongue-in-cheek and light-hearted and so on. Hope you enjoy.

EIGHT THINGS MARRIAGE HAS DONE TO ME (that i am rather pleased with)
1. Get a cell phone, use it daily.
2. Take a men’s multivitamin every day.
3. Do laundry more than once weekly.
4. Listen to less metal. (But still love it with passion!)
5. Listen to more CCM than could be rationally considered healthy. (At least by me!)
6. Go to sleep around 11pm quite regularly. Feel like a mess otherwise.
7. Get up prior to 7am quite regularly. Feel groggy otherwise.
8. Realize that I don’t actually hate Macs, just the elitist snobs who use them. (When they are elitist snobs, which isn’t always the case, but usually is!) My wife uses a Mac but she is not an elitist snob, she is a well-adjusted computer user who understands the intricate balance of benefits and drawbacks to different operating systems and despite this has chosen the greater of two evils.

Those are what come to mind at the moment, I’m sure there’s more. All this is to say that marriage has profound effects upon one’s psyche, general disposition, and well-being (all positive). It can even result in you doing things you should have done just because it was smart. I love my wife. :)
