Seasons of change

Oh my word, where to start? Its almost been a year since I wrote my last blog entry - so much changed since then.

The most notable change however is that I got married the 1st of December 2007 (You'll find some video clips and photos in the about me section of the site). It has really been bliss so far - waking up to my wife each morning, just having her around all the time, amazing!!!

And mmm... we're planning to move to New Zealand one of these days, as soon as we've saved up enough, and as soon as I found a job down there.

I also declared this my .net year, those who visited my site previously, will find that its been rewritten in asp.net, all new look and feel, hopefully still as simple as previously.

Planning to document my whole experience migrating to ASP.NET from PHP, but dont worry PHP is still my language of choice for the web - will keep on developing components and write lots of code for PHP.

Want to spend a lot more time on my site than previously, really make it an extremely valuable resource.

So all and all its really been a time of change for me, funny how quickly ones life can change, in my case definitely for the best - Julie fills my life with a joy I've never experienced before.

I am truly filled with new strength to work towards my goals.

I am also planning to revive a few of the stories I wrote during my childhood, should bring interesting reading to this site.

 

Stranger than fiction

Been back in Pretoria for a month now, and I am sooo happy and grateful to be back in civilization

a few weekends ago my girlfriend and I watched a movie called "Stranger than fiction", very cute movie, about a dull taxman (Will Ferrell) who one day finds his whole life being narrated to him by a voice from nowhere that only he can hear, and he seeks help from a professor (Dustin Hoffman) after the voice tells the reader that he's going to die.

My ear caught a song called "whole wide world" by wreckless eric, here is the clip from the movie:

I personally believe that there is only one girl in the world for me (and I found her), some say that only to sound romantic, but I honestly believe it. I am not talking about the whole soulmate idea some people have (when you love someone it must be with your all, body+soul+spirit). Soulmate, Bodymate, Spiritmate, since they feel your hubby or honey isnt always your soulmate.... scary

If you cant give your all, rather get yourself a pet.

I often prayed to God to give me that one girl and get it over with, cause i seriously felt like half a person and it was depressing.

Someone told me that I must be able to feel whole by myself, without needing anyone, but as Christian that statement doesnt really make sense to me - because we (christians) need each other, its impossible to stand on your own (if you can, it means you're not standing anymore)

Also if you think about the whole process where you become one being after marrying someone... If you're half a being it makes sense, but if you're fully whole, whats the whole point? Is it even possible to become one with that person? Since parts of you will have to die? am I making any sense?

Perhaps just talking as someone inlove?

Btw I honestly didnt care much about Will Ferrell before this movie, but I think he's quite a funny actor cant wait to see his movie "Blades of Glory"
