first!----nothing matters until you watch this;
Our designer left about 2 weeks ago to move back home to iowa to start a cookie company with her parents. She went to a one week cooking school in texas. She’s been dating a guy for 5 years. He lives in Chicago. She now lives in iowa.
This chicks dad:
“you’re not getting any older, ryan is a good guy… either marry him or dump him. And if you dump him you’re going to end up dating divorceeees with 3 kids.”
I guess I have a different opinion. I don’t see marriage as the underlying commitment, the goal, the point of all of this… i really don't think that's a misconception, either. i really really don't. i have things in my life that make me feel something extraordinary every single day. i wouldn't trade my life for 5 seconds to be a hopeless romantic. gross.
Someone posed these four questions to me a few days back(dif scenarios of course, i just found it interesting)----
M: “wouldn’t you want to get married if you’d been dating someone for 5 years”
JW: “uh, no actually.”
M: “well, don’t you like to bake?”
JW: “uh, no actually.”
M: “you could always move to Cleveland.”
JW: “uh, no actually I literally can’t.”
M: “I think it’d be okay if you coasted for a little while, you know.. served til you figured out what you wanted to do.”
JW: “i always know what i want to do. i'm DOING it. not to mention, you couldn’t pay me to be any sort of waitstaff at a restaurant. Oh, except a bartender. And that’d last one night and I’d be bored.”
I read this at work last week:

I'm not really a kid person. (I don't get giddy about babies or pregnant people either). I don't understand them or really know how to talk to them. I'm coaching 9 year old girls soccer though and these chicks not only crack me up, but they sort of make my world turn. Seeing them progress over these last eight weeks has been one of the most internally rewarding things I've ever done. I see them do a back pass or yell "all right, let's get back into positions..." and I know I've done something. To have someone not only listen, but allow what you're offering to be instilled in their mind... and then using it as a tool, as part of them and their reactions to things...goddamn, it's a powerful thing.
I can't get over how people in offices of large companies don't speak to one another. It's so awkward. And I never feel awkward. I find it ironic that I learned more about my boss Michael over an hour at lunch than I know about the boss I've had for three years now.
oh. so, this was kind of cool. my boss looked at me yester when i got into the office and said "if you can make lester & lucy (letterpress portion) a profitable part of the company, i will hire you full time and even give you your own desk next to your press and inks." you bet your ass i'm going to do just that.
toured rohner for the second time this past week, angie remembered my face and the company i work for.
i'm thinking australia. yum.

I really am the worst at blogging. It's probably humorous how weird my posts are.
Don't ever let anything trump what's in front of you because life is too short to ignore what's in front of you. or to think you're better than it. or that you have it under control. or that it can't teach you anything.
