Bits and pieces
I've been thinking the last couple of days, about where my life is heading, and how exciting everything is getting. It seems to me that life is like a puzzle to which you don't know what the final picture is, but you have to keep trying to fit pieces in anyway. Around high school or college, you begin to realize that there isn't just one piece for any given any location, but an infinite number of pieces for all locations that will ultimately affect what your final picture looks like. For the last few months, I had been floundering. I had a vague idea of what I wanted to put in the puzzle, but nothing seemed to fit. So I just kept trying different pieces until something fit, and it was a big piece. Finally I can see a little of what the final picture will look like, and from what I can see, it's awesome! Perseverance is the key. It may take you a million tries to find the right piece that suits you, but it is out there, and you can't give up until you find it.
I'm not sure where this post came from, but I'm in a really good mood these last few days and it looks like I'm going to be having a little more free time soon, so maybe I can do the site overhaul I've been planning for the last year. It's probably not going to be as drastic as I thought before, but something will change for sure.

Wow, that's is pretty deep, and a great way of looking at life. By nature I am a hopeless optimist. Even when everything seems to go the exact opposite of what I hoped for, I still find some way to think that I gained something from it and that everything will work out for the better.
Being married has changed me a bit, but not so much. Instead of just convinving myself that everything will be alright, I now have to convince my wife as well. She is a lot more pragmatic than I am, but I think this combines perfectly with my optimism. I keep on stupidly believing that I will succeeed whatever happens, but she has the good sense to point out where I am not succeeding and get me back on track.
Still, a nice internship at Amazon is hard to find faults with, especially after all the trials we have been through. Life is too short to not enjoy every last bit of it, even the hard parts. They aren't as easy to enjoy while they are happening, but in retrospect they can be very entertaining.
In short, I'm just really glad that I didn't wait till I had all my worldy desires to get married. The struggle of trying to make things worked has brought us closer together than anything else I could have hoped to think of.
