last day of the decade

i started this decade as a 21 year-old and ending it as a 31 year-old.

this decade i graduated college and b-school, got engaged/married, got a cat, bought my dream car, bought a condo, got my dream job... and now am expecting our first child. there are a few other things that happened this decade as well but you get the point. it was definitely the decade of massive growing up and change.

next decade, there probably won't be as much change... my life has been pretty much settled, and it will be all devoted to raising our child(ren), and buying our first house. who knows what else God has in store for me... but we'll see.

man, this blog entry makes me feel real old.

DSLRs

wow. there is a whole world that i never knew about, yet lived in.

complaining

i don't know what it is, but when people complain a certain way, it really aggravates me. don't get me wrong, i'm a big complainer myself, but there if someone complains a certain way, it just really sets me off.

the problem is, i'm not quite sure what it exactly is or how to explain it. i thought a lot about it and i think it comes down to a few things:

1. excessiveness - when people go overboard on the complaining, whether it's complaining in an immature way, talking about it non-stop, or just going overboard in general, it tends to irk me.
2. i'm already in a bad mood - maybe i already know that something sucks, and i just don't want to hear it.
3. overly obvious - everyone knows it sucked, no use trying to beat a dead horse.

i guess it's ironic that i'm complaining about people complaining.
