Marriages

Hi, oh-gifted-with-above-average-intelligence-blog-reader, how has (or should it perhaps be have? my grammar is as useless as my sawing abillity [dunno if that actually tells you much unless you know how good i'm at sawing {ok, you could extrapolate and say that, as my grammar is crap, my sawing ability would be crap as well, but that would be to turn my supporting statement around on itself, which would make the statement rather useless, unless I wanted to explain to you how useless I am at sawing...} which I doubt that you do] guess there should be something here to justify my use of paranthesies..) your day/week/month/year/life been? I hope it has been splendid and that everything you touch turns to gold (figuratively, we all know I could say that it would be very annoying if everything you touched would turn to gold, but hey, your an OGWAAIBR so you'll know that already, so I won't insult you by saying it (just, not so, briefly mention that I could have, had I held you in such high esteem).

Anyways (one of my favourite words that, together with my current favourite "gosh", although "anyways" have been on that list longer, and will probably outlast "gosh") I guess I should write something that justifies the title I wrote, that is, something about marriages...

Marriage:

hmm, intended to give you Encyclopaedia Britannica's definition of marriage and then talk about all the people I know that currently are going to get married... But no, that is not so fun (and it may be a contientious (?) issue as well, but, there are two types of marriages I will give you the definition for...

Morganatic Marriage:

legally valid marriage between a male member of a sovereign, princely, or noble house and a woman of lesser birth or rank, with the provision that she shall not thereby accede to his rank and that the children of the marriage shall not succeed to their father's hereditary dignities, fiefs, and entailed property.

Must say I kinda like this one, if I ever get married I definitely will make sure my marriage will be a morganatic. I mean, just think of the problems I avoid, there's no way my wife will marry me just to clime up to my lofty social hights, nor will she marry so that her children will later overthrow me and (with her as their "advisor") manage my huge and wealthy fiefdom!

But, if one doesn't much like women and think they are to much effort and they don't last long enough... Well, then a tree marriage may be something to go for:

symbolic marital union of a person with a tree that is said to be infused with supernatural life.

The good thing with a tree marriage, is that it has multiple purpouses.. Not only can you get married to a big green thing that is infused with supernatural life and will carry your legasy for the next couple of hundred years.. No, if you by some reason change your mind and really really want to marry a widow (dunno if you can marry a tree whose former husband died) you can quite happily do so (provided you chop down your tree)

Tree marriage may also be a form of proxy marriage. In one such practice, between a bachelor and a tree, the tree was afterward felled, thereby endowing the man with the widower status required to marry a widow

Pretty good thing hey?

Told you before I wouldn't say anything about people I know getting married as it was boring.. I lied, filthy habit I know, but just cant help it every now and again..

Must mention that my dear friend Nathan "Smelly" Campbell is getting married to his Robyn. And, yours truly have been asked to help groom him on his very special day, yours truly feel quite honored (but is at the same time somewhat worried that he will somehow manage to miss the ocation, as, from experience, that is what he's done with every other wedding he should have attended to the groom in some fashion...) that he's deemed worthy to do such a thing.

That is not all I have to say today, but it is probably all that you can be bothered to read, and all I can put on "paper", no, lied again.. just a thing that popped up in my head, words in relation to intelligence.. Now, some people may think that someone that can use many words would be intelligent, but, this is my thought, wouldnt someone that is pretty intelligent only have to use very few words to say the same thing as a not-so-intelligent person would need heaps of words for?

Until next time!

Footnote:

While searching for some image relating to marriage... apparently there are marriage agencies.. Wonder if they do morganatic marriages? Check out this site if your ready to get married!

Going to work, as a real man

So, two (for me) pretty hectic (of sorts) week, with me starting a new job (first full time job too)! Not that I have much exciting stuff to tell you, well, it is kinda exciting if you happen to be excited by overheads (like wires, multiwires, section insulators and the like), which, I guess, there will be a few. Not that most of my time is spent actually looking at those things, I only do that when I go out on the train (recording cart), which is pretty fun of sorts. So that's where I'll start, and probably will end as well, as there is only so much you can write about looking a printouts, finding faults, entering those faults in a database, finding a matching mast and printing a report (oh, I actually said something about it, not bad me don't think..). Anyways, with the recording cart, I went on my first trip last week (Monday), pretty early we started, had to leave home around 2.30am.. Went to the train, walked around looking lost (ok, I went to the place where the train i stored and sat there being eaten by mossies for a while first). Then I checked up on the system, what I should do (which includes calling a guy and asking if there will be any insulations happening and where, which is pretty good to know as you'd end up toasting some guy if you happen to come driving where they have an insulation [probably end up running over them as well]). Then we took of and I have a while to get used to pressing buttons and figuring out what the various things were (not made easier for being dark). Not so much more to say actually, I wuzzed out to start with, but after a while (when it wasn't dark anymore) I got into it and started pressing buttons. Now, pressing buttons sounds pretty easy, but by some reason it isn't, well, after a while it gets easier, unless when you come to a station, where there was lots of things and lots of buttons to press....

Could tell you lots more, like how it was to stay at motels and stuff, but don't think you'd be overly interested, so I'll spare you this time..

Until next time (which hopefully will be a somewhat interesting post)!
