Stupid:
So I've been wanting an XBOX and I went ahead and jumped at an opportunity. What I didn't do right was go about it in a way that was smart. Note to all married or soon to be married people, communicate! I made the purchase without proper communication. It's how us men usually do things. Shoot first, ask questions later. Well...idea...not so good. It's important to make decisions together so to avoid the backpeddling of explaining your actions instead of coming to a decision together. That's all they really want. To know you show enough courtesy to talk about it first.
Young:
Wanting an XBOX doens't make me young. Playing it doesn't make me young. We grew up in the gaming age and it's what we've done since Ataris. What still makes me young minded is the thought that I can continue habits and behaviors that should evolve and change as I grow up. I turn 30 in about 60 days. Aproaches to everyday desires, habits, and needs should be modified to be a catalyst for true growth.
Impulsive:
There is a side of me that needs instant gratification. Yeah, insert gross joke here right? Well, seriously, that side of me needs to do better at doing a triage on the things that deserve priority in my life. My wife. My family. My career. My friends. My health. And on down the line to entertainment. Impulsivity subtracts the triage process and one should be more reserved in actions that demand more thought.
Naive:
Do I really think I can do whatever I want or do things how I used to before I was married? I don't think so. At least I thought I wasn't doing that. I think I've changed a lot. I've made some sacrifices all over the place. But there is a part of me that feels like mid-life crisis is setting in and I have to do something to counter it? I dunno if that is going to fly or if I am just making excuses for being naive to the notion that I can still be the same guy I was 2, 4, 6, even ten years ago. I know that the life I can lead will be better if I stop being naive to living now as I once lived before.
On that note, My wife and I have been together for 9 years today and been married for almost 5 months. I love being married to my best friend. I can't wait for many more years, months, days, and hours with the love of my life. Good times and bad, there's no one in the world I'd rather live this life with. Grow with. Happy Anniversary Macaboo.

happy anniversary! and the xbox was a great decision. just wait till you have to communicate to wifey that you need another $60+ game. once you get approval to purchase said game it'll be on sale but it will be too old that no one on live is gonna be playing it. haha jk. just make sure you give her the heads up a couple weeks before the game hits the store.
