A dull interlude into the synapses of a canadian country boy living in the "city" and trying to figure out the future of our nation....like sex and the city (my wife made me watch it), but without the sex, women, money, prestige, fashion, and famous people..(mostly just the city)

I'm ready for the next chapter
It's my wife's and my one year anniversary. I can't think of anything more fitting than being with her. She and I met around 6 years ago this past may through her cousin, who has been a friend of mine since high school, I guess you could say that things weren't solid at first, as we dated for 6 or 7 months and then split, but later reconciled and it's been sweet ever since. I don't want to lie to you, we don't agree about alot of things, we don't usually like the same music (1 out of 10 cd's maybe) alot of that kind of small shit, but those who think that kind of thing is important are just unwilling to work at a relationship. She and I have a really damn good time together, and our bond is stronger for all the work we did learning what we do agree on. Through her i've been exposed to things my own interests might not have led me to, and the same for her ( I still can't get her to listen to Led Zeppelin but what can you do...) All this is leading up to one thing, I finally feel my emotional life is solid, and now i need to work on my career life, start striving for those dreams. My thoughts are garbled in this area, but i'm getting closer to a clear answer. I know this about myself: 1) I'm Lazy, if i don't have to, i'd rather not work my ass off every day, that's getting REAL old. 2)I Love the creative process, to look at the world from completley my perspective, and express it via some medium, be it Photo, music or print. 3) I'm a country guy at heart, always have been, and I tend to hold those memories close. 4) I love to argue, and debate, and be sarcastic as much as is reasonably possible, however, I often feel guilty for some of the things i say in the heat of the moment ( There is a story i love about Mark Twain, who used to write letters to political figures visciously chastising them, and would get his wife to mail them, she in turn would throw them in the fire. That story always makes me laugh, because it shows how people complete each other, she was his temper, whenever he lost it) In any case, If all these things can be mashed into a job that pays my bills, I think i'd be just fine with that. So that's that, Chapter 1 Relationships...let's read chapter 2
