| Your wife starts watching Entourage.
Candice always hated Entourage. I could never get her to watch it back when we were dating or engaged. She said she saw it once, and never had the desire to watch another minute of it. She didn't like the jokes, didn't like the characters, didn't like the plot, didn't like the dialogue, didn't like anything about it.
Recently, the sixth season of Entourage began airing on HBO (Favorite line so far: Ari to Lloyd - "I want you to keep an eye on him like he's Zac Efron's ball sack."). One reason why I love my new house is I have a nice tv with Dish Network, HD, and DVR. I've never had any of that stuff since moving out of my parents' house. Anyway, Entourage gets recorded every Sunday and I usually watch it Monday after I get home from work. Candice and I are most likely eating dinner (or she already ate so she's preparing food for me - God, I love her!) and I turn on Entourage. 90% of the time, she'll be doing something else, but once in a while she sits and watches with me. Well, now that we're several episodes into the season, it's safe to say she is gaining more and more interest in the characters and even laughing at the jokes. Maybe being with me the past 3 years has de-sensitized her a bit!
So yesterday I came home and I was shocked to see her watching Entourage BY HERSELF!! I said, "Are you watching Entourage?!?!" And she goes, "Yup!" It was one of the most beautiful moments in our relationship! haha just kidding, but it was certainly awesome. I pushed her a bit further and we ended up watching the first 3 episodes of season 1 together over dinner. I was so proud of her!
I'm not sure how long this will last, but for now, Sunday night is now Entourage night. Married life is good!

| You share an alarm clock.
I used to use my cell phone as my alarm clock. But the problem with my cell phone was that the alarm clock was too quiet and I would never wake up to it. In order to work around this problem, I would always set my alarms through my phone's calendar feature. Through my calendar, I could choose what alarm would sound, how loud, how long, and I could even snooze. I'm not sure why the alarm clock couldn't perform these inherent alarm clock things, but whatever. So I've done this for the past several years and it's worked ok, but this also had its drawback.
Every time I looked at my calendar, my schedule looked completely packed even though it was just a simple daily wake-up alarm. When I wanted to put a "real" event in my calendar, I wouldn't be able to quickly glance and find it. I would almost have to scroll through each day to see if I was free or not. Sometimes I just wouldn't even use my calendar and try to memorize events to save myself the headache. Let me just say I missed my fair share of events and was late often!
For the past 2 weeks, Candice and I have been sharing an alarm clock. I love this alarm clock. It has 2 settings on it (she wakes up earlier than me), rings progressively louder (perfect for me since Candice wakes up quickly), snoozes, and has an Indiglo button (yeah, old school baby!).
You're probably wondering, "Is this guy too cheap to buy an alarm clock?" And the answer is yes and no. No, because this is my alarm clock that I've had since high school which I let Candice borrow. And yes, I wasn't about to buy an alarm clock since I already had one. I knew it was just a matter of time before we would be sharing it so why buy a new one which would eventually become useless?
So my calendar is easier to read and use, my schedule has freed up, and I can wake up on time. Married life is good!

| Back when I first started dating Candice, I had this theory that I would have a lot more material to blog about. I think that was pretty accurate at first, but now I rarely find myself in front of the computer blogging about anything at all. Everything I would have normally blogged about (back when I was single), I just talk it out with her.
I guess the true way to relate to people and to open up is still face-to-face. Take that, technology.

| Luke 14: 16-24
This passage just became very real to me. I do not have the time or the energy to spell it out, but I encourage you to read it. This goes out to all my family and friends, but I want to especially dedicate this to my MR2 group. Can you feel me?
16Jesus replied: "A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. 17At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.' 18"But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, 'I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.' 19"Another said, 'I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I'm on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.' 20"Still another said, 'I just got married, so I can't come.' 21"The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.' 22" 'Sir,' the servant said, 'what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.' 23"Then the master told his servant, 'Go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full. 24I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.'

Kanye West was recently featured on Keri Hilson's new song "Knock You Down." I'm sure you've all heard it on the radios because the beat is really catchy, and it's a pretty good song until Kanye opens his wired jaws and begins to ruin it with ambiguous lyrics that make absolutely no sense. You can almost imagine him spending 10 minutes on it putting words together that rhyme. Below are some actual lyrics from this song with some of my comments. You tell me if he should just stick to producing, like Sean "Puff Daddy, no call me P. Diddy" Combs, or continue to make me cringe with his piercingly stupid rhymes. By the way, I found this picture from googling "stupid kanye west picture." Real talk.
Tell me now can you make it past your caspers
So we can finally fly off into NASA
What are caspers, and what does fly off into NASA mean?
So please don't mess up the trick
Hey Young World, I'm the new Slick Rick
They say I move too quick, but we can't let the moment pass us.
What does Slick Rick have to do with this? Oh, I get it, Rick rhymes with trick and quick.
Let the hourglass pass right into ashes
Let the wind blow the ash right before my glasses
So I wrote this love letter right before my classes
"These three lines rhyme, therefore, I will rap it."
Listen to this song and ask yourself if you could do better. You probably can.
