My uncle Momi gave me a stern talking to earlier this evening asking me to update my blog. He threatened to unfollow me if I didn't keep it up. Most of you don't know my uncle, but he is large. Like thick and full of muscles large. And Israeli. Like Israeli army Israeli. And one thing I've learned in all my years knowing him. You listen to him. Don't get me wrong. I'm not scared of him or anything. Just kidding, Momi, I am.

My baby sister Erin is engaged! And she couldn't have picked a nicer guy. Brandon is his name. Talking sports with me is his game. And if that's your game, we're good.
Erin is the best. And she deserves a great guy. I couldn't be happier for the two of them.
I'd like to take this opportunity to provide some sage advice for the soon to be married couple as I am now a seasoned pro, 1.5 years into marriage.
1. Don't just appreciate each other. Tell each other you do. Don't ever let the other forget it. That's usually how fights break out.
2. If you haven't already, fart under the covers. Both of you. If you can withstand the dutch oven, your marriage will forever be wonderful. No issue is as bad as that.
3. Don't forget to continue to have your own lives. Friends, sports, etc. Time apart is the best part of marriage. Just kidding. But having lives outside of each other makes the time together that much better.
4. Don't fart in public and when someone asks what the smell is, point at each other and say it was the other. Blame is a shame. I just made that up. I should get a t-shirt made.
5. Have fun together. You're going to be spending a ton of time together for the next lotta years. So enjoy each other's company and always at least pretend your listening.

Tonight I got my iPhone 4 and I'm so pumped. Problem was that my laptop is too old and can't handle the new software. So I am currently transferring a ton of files onto our newer computer. I never knew I could do the file transfer I'm doing now. All you need is an ethernet cable. Who knew?? I feel like a hacker. Seriously, I want to share the secrets of file transfer with everyone. I just have this sneaking suspicion that most people will tell me that I'm an idiot for not knowing that. And then I'll lose this high I've got.

Sign I'm approaching 30: I'm totally getting into scotch. Not everything about turning 30 is lame. Hello coolness!
Your opening paragraph is perfect. Couldn’t have said it better myself!
ReplyDeleteAs for your 5 points for a successful marriage, I can confirm that even after 25 years of marriage they are as valid as they were on day one. Well said. BTW, I fully concur with your comments about Brandon. He sure seems like a great guy, but we need to get him to start talking !!!
I am not going to tell you that you are an idiot, but how the hell did you transfer files until now? Were you still using 5 ¼ inch floppy disks, or did you progress to the 3 ½ inch?
Lastly, I am very proud that you are getting into scotch. If nothing else it proves that you are almost ready to turn 30.
