Thoughts on Kammi Kangas Part 1.

Today is my one year anniversary with the lovely Kammi Kangas. I have quite a lot to say on the matter and will be making this into a two part sequence with the conclusion coming tomorrow. Tomorrow is your birthday! Two things we will be celebrating together for the rest of our lives.

Yes there it is for all the world to see! I am completely head over heels in love with you Kammi. I hope you enjoy reading this.

While this is the one year anniversary of us dating it is not the first year of our relationship. You were there when I first entered this world, right across the street in Burnsville, Minnesota. And while my memory of those times is lacking (see non-existent), I have gathered from stories and pictures that we were very close then. I know this is true because of the instant comfort I felt being with you when we reunited. Even as toddlers we were drawn to each other. The only conclusion I draw from that is you are my soul mate. You are the person put on this Earth that I am meant to be with. Besides all of that, you are the person put on this Earth that I want to be with. All of our beautiful history aside you are the one for me. I have thought about what would have happened between us if my family had not left for Montana. I still believe we would be together but I will never know for sure. What I do know is that both of us grew up separate of each other, we had many experiences and trials in life without each other. My experiences before meeting you have shown me just how bad the world can be and frankly they left me in a pretty negative place. Your reentry into my life changed everything. You showed me just how wonderful the world really is, your love and care rid me of all that darkness and anger. I also know that with you supporting me I could face any challenge life could possibly throw at me. I have this feeling that I won at the game of Life. This feeling that no matter what happens, as long as I have you then I am in the right place. In the exact place that I want to be and the place that is best for me. You give me a reason to keep pushing through anything, you are the light at the end of the tunnel! I LOVE YOU! You love the things about me that I dislike the most, you build me up and support me. You could not possibly be a better girlfriend to me.

Distance has a major factor during the start of our relationship but you did everything you could to make it irrelevant. You have clocked thousands of miles driving to come to where I am, to be with me. You have shown time and time again your dedication to our relationship and I love that about you. I can't help but feel bad for the poor Mazda, making all those trips to Madison from Menominee and eventually Minnesota. We have also had our arguments and fights. No relationship is without them. But the way we settle them is another reason I am so in love with you and this relationship. You are always willing to work things out, and you never stop loving no matter what. I know we can get through anything together. I haven't even begun to talk about you and the things I love about you. I could never list all of the small caring things you do for me that are so important to me. The little gestures like getting me a coffee or picking me up when it's rainy really get to me. Makes me know that you are always thinking about me, thinking about ways to make my day better. Better then it already was just from having you in my life. I love that I can come to you for advice about things outside of our relationship. You always help me see through the bullshit and show me the best course of action. Despite what you might think,  I do take your advice, very often in fact. It is always the best advice, and following it has always served me well. I love the notes you leave for me, I love the sweet texts you send me. I love the way you take care of me when I am sick or feeling down for whatever reason. I love spending time with you. It doesn't matter if we are out on some adventure or sitting at home watching Big Love or Entourage. I love every second I spend with you.

I am left with this feeling of complete and utter bliss. I can see my life laid out in front of me and it is a life spent with you. I will always love you, and will always be with you. I will always do as much as I possible can to make everyone of your days special and enjoyable. I will fill your life with love like you have filled mine this past year. I will take care of you no matter what happens. I will go with you where ever you need or want to go. The most important thing in my life is you. My main goal in life is making you as happy as you have made me. Getting you to feel the overwhelming feeling of joy that you make me feel. There is much more to come but I have lots to do before you get home from work. I will end, for now with my favorite words.
I love you Kammi Kangas!

Thoughts on Starting Over

Oh boy, here I am again on the good old blog. I must say the site has changed quite a lot. Google scares me when they make stuff so crisp looking and user friendly. I dunno. Christmas Break has been pretty great, adventures in Utah and Minnesota and moving Kammi to Madison also! I am excited and scared for classes to resume, going to be a busy schedule. I am guessing that I am setting myself of to fail at this blogging thing all over again. It seems like a good idea now, when I have almost no commitments but I guess we shall see. I got a lab job this semester, working on viruses and cancer and all that goodness. I am super excited about the chance to get back into the lab! In a way my lab career is "starting over", and I am super thankful for that. I am super thankful for just about everything in my life. I think the main reason I stopped blogging was that I have nothing to complain about. I am perfectly happy with everything in my life. Kammi has moved to Madison and got a really good job, I have a lab job and school is going well, my back is working perfectly and I am no longer in New Jersey. All and all things are going swimmingly.

I can always just talk about politics and what not. Since my last blog post I got a smart phone (Droid RAZER MAXX) and often find myself spending way to much time reading the news. I try my best to read CNN, FOX and RT news to get the full spectrum of journalistic bias and media spin. A lot of crazy stuff has been going on in the world lately and I am a bit ashamed to say that I get some enjoyment from watching it all happen. That sounds really weird, but it's hard to explain. It's just nice to know what is going on in the world and a lot of the time (usually with USA politics) the goings-on are so petty and idiotic that they become hilarious. This recent uproar over gun control is a prime example of this. First of all, I am pretty undecided on the whole issue and reading the news as much as I do I am fully aware that gun violence is a huge problem. Events like Sandy Hook or Colorado become very instrumental due to the almost excessive amount of media coverage given to them. And while they were undoubtedly extremely tragic events, I find myself reading about at least one new shooting every week. There is clearly a problem. I really don't have any answers, all I do know is that this back-and-forth between the Deathocrats and the Republican'ts (I need a better name for the GOP) is just silly. I was thinking about it last night and I think both sides should just organize their platforms, itemize them down to like three or 4 things. Then put them on little tokens. For example, there would be a gun control token for the Dems and the GOP would have an entitlement reforms token. They would then trade tokens. Dems would get free-reign over gun-control while the GOP could blindly cut social programs. They trade back and forth like this until everyone has what they want. All the bickering is now done and the country is undoubtedly in ruin. At least it was quick! Only problem is that I couldn't watch them argue any more.. :(

I need to go to McDonald's now
Merica!

Here is the song, almost forgot I was supposed to do that...
