I have been really busy as of late, organizing my self and my life. I cleaned up my office quite a bit and the chii is flowing now, so I feel very comfortable working in my office. My wife is working on her own set of things and so we are both busy at work trying to make a name and money for ourselves aside from our regular jobs.
I finally, after a lot of frustration, have 98% completed on of my android apps. I need to test it and do bug fixes, then send it out to market which by itself is a huge undertaking apparently.
There are 16 steps for publishing to the Android market, somethings of which I haven't even thought of, so I will be working on it.
I am well on my way to my next years goals.
Have this wedding paid off, honey moon, federal loans, private loan and finally buy a house.
Then maybe...as much as I don't want to...children...

Status Truth
I hate it when someone asks you, usually a friend, "How's it going?" and you know depending on whether you say good or bad will determine how much they want to annoy you about stupid shit.
For example, I have a huge habit of complaining because I don't like having unresolved problems. I also don't like keeping it to myself because it puts me in a bad mood, so I vent and I vent frequently. I don't mind venting to my friends in person, but it is more difficuilt to do over IM.
There is no tone in IM which is really goddamn annoying to say the least. It can cause problems while speaking to someone because you won't know how they meant something when talking unless they specifically mention the tone.
For example the word argument. This word can mean angry or it can mean someone's side of a story.
Anyhow, I have one friend in particular who I try not to complain to over IM because he always seems to trivialize what I am complaining or concerned about. It really bothers me that he has such a laze fair attitude about life and it is because he has a fall back. He doesn't have to worry about failure because he has a fall back and he wants to apply that same, "don't worry about it attitude" to everyone else. It is quite annoying.
So I avoid it.
Other people I try not to complain to because I am worried that they will get tired of hearing me complain. I can't help but be honest, I have a hard time saying that everything is okay when it isn't.
Right now everything is not okay. I am very worried about my health and I am worried about financing all of these wedding related things. I am going to a nice place for my other sisters wedding and so my wife and I decided to make the destination our honeymoon get away. The problem is this is going to cost a boat load of money I certainly did not plan on. I am not too happy about taking the money from my car sale and dumping it into this wedding. The honeymoon is going to cost about 5,000 dollars no matter how you spin it. Probably a little more because of unexpected costs and my favorite new thing to hate: Foreign Transaction Fees due to currency conversions.
Basically I need all of this stuff to end soon so I can get back to what is important, which is paying down my debt so I can live debt free. The other equally as important thing is to move out of the home I am in right now and buy my own place.

Update
I'm not dead, just been really busy. I did my upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy and it was a breeze. The doctor told me they didn't find anything at all - which is fantastic news, but I paid 1,500 dollars to be told what I knew already. Whoopeeeee.
Anyhow... I have been busy working on an Android app, busy at work, busy with life in general.
I can pretty much say I will be happy when this year is over and done with. I am excited about my wedding, but I am none to thrilled about the ridiculous costs.
My priority list has shifted again, I need to find a new place and soon. As soon as this year is over, my focus is on getting a home so I don't have to move anymore. I will probably get a home around where I am now, it has to be mostly move in ready. I don't care about ugly floors, walls or even fucked up kitchen appliances. What I care about is plumbing, electrical, windows and roof all being up to snuff.
In other words I don't want to be forced to renovate shit. I want to be able to move in and do what ever the fuck I want. It can be a shit hole, just not a flaming one.
