    Whoa

    I got an email from Brian this morning that said, "Man, a year of home ownership already. CRAZY." It reminded me that, yeah, I guess it has been about a year. So I went back and looked it up in my Google Calendar, and I actually closed on the house on July 30 of last year and moved in on August 9, so it's been a bit more than a year.

    It's still weird to me that I have this house, but it's weirder still that I missed the actual anniversaries of buying it and moving in. If you've known me for any time at all you know that I'm big on remembering anniversaries of important events. For some reason I hadn't set the event in Google Calendar to repeat every year, and it just passed me by. Without Google Calendar, my life would be in shambles, I tell you!

    But, hey, happy anniversary, house! I know you had it in for me when we were first getting to know each other, but I appreciate the fact that you haven't tried to kill me in a while. I got rid of the kidney bean-shaped landscaping in the front yard like you wanted, and I promise I'll get to trimming that weird bush by the door at some point here soon.

    It's Been Said

    Whatever you are, be a good one.

    -Abraham Lincoln

    I love my job, but I am not nor do I want to be defined by it. I'd much rather be a good friend, a good Christian, a good husband, a good father. Sure, I want to be a good computer guy, too, but I'd rather be all those other things.

    Favorite Movie Quotes

    MELVIN: Okay, I got a real great compliment for you and it's true.

    CAROL: I am so afraid you're about to say something awful...

    MELVIN: Don't be pessimistic. It's not your style. Okay... Here it goes... Clearly a mistake.

    I have this -- what? Ailment... And my doctor -- a shrink... who I used to see all the time... he says 50 or 60 percent of the time a pill can really help. I hate pills. Very dangerous things, pills. "Hate," I am using the word "hate" about pills. My compliment is that when you came to my house that time and told me how you'd never -- well, you were there, you know... The next morning I started taking these pills.

    CAROL: (a little confused) I don't quite get how that's a compliment for me.

    MELVIN: You make me want to be a better man.

    Welcome to a new feature that I'm surprised took me this long to get to. I thought I'd start off the new "Favorite Movie Quotes" with one of my all-time favorite quotes from a movie ever. I've bolded and italicized it there, but wanted to give it some context as well. It's from the movie As Good As It Gets, and even though that line got shown a million times in trailers and clip shows and whatnot, I still just absolutely love what it's about. "I saw in you somebody I wanted - needed! - to be with so much that I knew I needed to improve just to have the opportunity to even have the possibility of being with you."

    I know I'm a hopeless romantic at heart, but come on - how does that not melt pretty much anyone?
