			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>&#8220;The Unexamined Life is Not Worth Living&#8221;</strong> &#8211; <em>Socrates</em></p>
<p><img src="http://adamvonwillis.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/state-of-the-adam-2011.jpg" alt="State of the Adam Twenty Eleven" title="State of the Adam 2011" width="200" height="263" class="alignright size-full wp-image-19852" />Oh boy! Time for the second annual State of the Adam! I feel like <a href="http://adamvonwillis.com/2010/08/state-of-the-adam-2010/" title="State of the Adam 2010">last time</a> went really well. It was a nice little snapshot of what was going on in my life and my head. Time to do it again! Okie dokie. Let&#8217;s jump right into it.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Heather.</strong> Best part of my life. By Far. I mean&#8230; pretty much none of the stuff below even matters in comparison. And you know what&#8230; that&#8217;s all I&#8217;m going to say about her. I am not confident enough in my writing skills to properly convey my true feelings and she deserves nothing less than my true feelings. Actually, I will say this: Heather is my best friend and she makes me smile. I love you, Heather.</li>
<li><strong>Memory.</strong> From last year&#8217;s SOTA: &#8220;Mine sucks. I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before, but I have terribly bad memory. Now that I have insurance, I plan on going to some kind of doctor for this.&#8221; Well&#8230; I did. Actually&#8230; I went to a neurologist! I know it may seem a bit rash, but it was really affecting my day to day life in a truly frustrating way. So yeah&#8230; I went&#8230; and&#8230; nothing is wrong with me. The neurologist gave me a bunch of tests, asked me a bunch of questions, and eventually came to the conclusion that there really isn&#8217;t anything physically wrong with me. Basically, I have a crappy memory and I have to deal with it. There&#8217;s no medicine or herbs that will help. If only life were that easy. Oh wait! I do think he said I could go to a cognitive therapist, but I&#8217;m not too keen on that. Actually, the best tool for helping me remember things nowadays is my iPhone. The &#8220;Reminders&#8221; app combined with Siri is so damn helpful.</li>
<li><strong>Jobs.</strong> Instead of talking about my current jobs, I&#8217;d like to discuss the kind of job I would like to have. Well&#8230; besides no job. I do not define myself by the job I have. People like that freak me out. I define myself by how much fun I have and how much love surrounds me. Anyway! The problem is&#8230; I have to have a job. I need money. So, why don&#8217;t I just find a job I like? Well&#8230; that&#8217;s impossible (with one magical exception). Why? Well&#8230; having a job is the same as going to school for me. There is something in my brain chemistry that just makes me hate being at work or being at school. I can be working with something I really like (the internet) or learning about something I really enjoy (science), but I will always get into a horribly depressed funk. How do I avoid this? There are two ways. One way is to have a job that requires no real thinking. My least favorite part of my current jobs is how much thought I have to put into what I do. I don&#8217;t like spending my brain power on work (I know this doesn&#8217;t make sense). What I want is a job that I cannot take home. One that anyone can do. That&#8217;s why I loved stocking shit at Walmart and selling tickets at a movie theater. Super easy and mindless. Go to work, do your job, and leave. Repeat. Working at In and Out would be awesome! I know&#8230; high aspirations, right? Yep. Okay. So, the second way is to work at Disneyland. I don&#8217;t care what it is I am doing as long as I work there. I&#8217;d even be cool with California Adventure! Or any of the Disney hotels! Man&#8230; Adam Willis, janitor at Disneyland. Music to my ears!</li>
<li><strong>Pets.</strong> So, last year I said I was getting rats. I got them. They&#8217;re awesome. But I really don&#8217;t care too much about them anymore. Why? I&#8217;ll tell you why&#8230; PAISLEY!!! We got a dog! And she&#8217;s amazing! Heather brought her home from the CPS parking lot. She was lethargic, skinny, and completely covered in ticks! It was the saddest thing ever. Over 1000 bucks later&#8230; she&#8217;s doing great! I really hate saying this, but I like her more than Matilda. I know! Blasphemy! It is true though. And! Since the ticks sucked out so much blood, she probably isn&#8217;t going to grow to full size! SHE&#8217;S GOING TO BE A PUPPY FOREVER! I know&#8230; best thing ever. Also&#8230; still have Monte. But he sucks.</li>
<li><strong>Team Willis.</strong> What can I say&#8230; I love my family. I mean&#8230; I better! I see them all the god damn time. We just went on an epic Disneyland adventure. It was legendary (definitely started watching How I Met Your Mother). Really though&#8230; don&#8217;t have a lot to say. Everything is going really well in Willisland. We&#8217;re all happy and getting along well. We go have drinks together most Friday nights and will go get the occasional dinner. So yeah. All is well.</li>
<li><strong>Health.</strong> I was at 190 last year&#8230; now&#8230; I&#8217;m at about 175. I know it&#8217;s only 15 pounds, but I&#8217;m still damn proud of myself. I started using MyFitnessPal.com (MFP) as well as the Couch-to-5K system. Both the website and the system have amazing iPhone apps that I use quite often. I use MFP to track my calories, fitness, and weight on a daily basis. I&#8217;ve really been doing a lot better with making good food choices because of it. I do c25k at least three times a week. My endurance is getting really great and I should be able to to a 5k easily in just a few weeks. In fact! There is a Family Fun Run 5k at Disneyland in September!!! Definitely doing it. Definitely.</li>
<li><strong>Arizona.</strong> Hate it.</li>
<li><strong>California.</strong> Love it. I really want to move to California. I always have, but now that I&#8217;ve gotten a small taste of what it&#8217;s like to actually live there my desire has only increased (thanks, Nicole and Donnie!!!). Also&#8230; my favorite place in the world just happens to be in California. Weird&#8230;</li>
<li><strong>Disneyland.</strong> Heather and I now have Premium Annual Passes. What does that mean? We can go to Disneyland WHENEVER THE FUCK WE WANT. And boy have we! We&#8217;ve gone a couple times already (we began our year of magic in late October) and have two more trips planned for the next month alone! Also. Let me just say that I love Disneyland more than I ever have. I could simply list off all of the great things I love about it and its amazing creator, but that wouldn&#8217;t really explain why I feel the way I do. It&#8217;s really just the feeling it evokes in me. It&#8217;s good. Like&#8230; pure good. And yes&#8230; I do realize that it&#8217;s a business and it overcharges and can, at times, be one of the more crass areas of consumerism. Doesn&#8217;t matter. Just because I understand the science behind love (it&#8217;s all just chemicals) it doesn&#8217;t mean I don&#8217;t enjoy it or base my life around it. No matter what happens to Disneyland, it will always be special because of the man who imagined it and what he represents.</li>
<li><strong>Politics.</strong> From last year: &#8220;I’m a far left liberal who hates Republicans. Conservative ideals and free market stuff is fine and dandy, but Republicans are ASSHOLES. The party is full of stupid, piece of shit, mean spirited, ignorant, racist, bigoted, sexist, pathetic, worthless, assholes. Democrats are weak and not actually liberal, but they are no where near as bad as their counterparts.&#8221; That&#8217;s still the case. I actually started a secret political blog so I had a place to discuss politics besides here. I think I got about 20 posts published before I got burned out. Politics really is draining for someone who prides themself on striving to be as rational as a flawed human possibly can be. As a whole, politics are vile. I mean&#8230; truly vile. All politicians are corrupt in one way or another, and all pundits are egotistical sensationalists. Of course, there are still some genuine journalists and economists out there who truly care about the advancement of the human race and can put aside their personal biases (as best as anyone can&#8230; we&#8217;re all human) to report on and discuss what really matters in a factual, intelligent manner. Those people are awesome. I hope to one day be one of those people. I&#8217;m not there yet, but I&#8217;m working at it. It is called political <em>science</em> for a reason. Science is never fully and completely understood. It is always evolving. Anything can be disproven if there is enough reason to disprove it. Nothing is entirely black or white. While some things (like gravity) seem to be completely indisputable, true scientists are always open to new discoveries and ways of thinking. This is the kind of mind set I wish more political scientists had. Both sides, liberal and conservative, are guilty of rigid dogmatism. It&#8217;s fine to have a strong belief in something, but closing your mind to even the slightest possibility of being wrong is unintelligent and, in some cases, dangerous for the future of our society and even our planet.</li>
<li><a href="http://campl.us/dFip"><img src="http://adamvonwillis.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/puma-romeo-150cc-scooter-rufio.jpg" alt="Puma Romeo 150cc Scooter" title="Puma Romeo 150cc Scooter" width="200" height="175" class="alignright size-full wp-image-19905" /></a><strong>Scooter.</strong> I bought a scooter! That&#8217;s it over to the right! His name is Rufio. Rufio. Ru. Fi. Ohhhhh. It was pretty cheap. 1500 bucks. Brand new. Why? It&#8217;s Chinese. It&#8217;s kind of a piece of crap. It breaks a lot, and the gas gauge doesn&#8217;t work. But I don&#8217;t care. I love it. It&#8217;s so damn fun to ride. It&#8217;s like a roller coaster you can control! It&#8217;s like a super fast bike you can ride on the street! Also&#8230; the gas mileage is amazing and repairs are super cheap. I&#8217;m actually learning how to fix things myself so I never have to take it in to the shop again. Still not sure if I would ever upgrade to an actual motorcycle. I took an Intro to Motorcycles class before I got the scooter, and I really didn&#8217;t like the shifting you have to do on motorcycles. Scooters are automatic. Twist the throttle. Go. It&#8217;s that easy. But seriously&#8230; it&#8217;s so fun! Fuck cars. They&#8217;re so damn boring.</li>
<li><strong>Music.</strong> I&#8217;ve been getting into a lot of new music lately. One new group that I have somehow managed to not get into up until now is Erasure. So, there&#8217;s this iPhone app called Robot Unicorn Attack. It features a ridiculously fabulous song called Always. Well&#8230; that song is by Erasure. I liked it, but I assumed it was some goofy one hit wonder song, so I never considered actually checking out the band that sings it. Time passed and one day I noticed Erasure was going to be playing in Los Angeles. I thought it would be funny to check it out and Heather agreed. Holy shit it was amazing. I listened to most of their songs for the very first time about a week before we actually went. They have so many great songs! And they&#8217;ve done a bunch of ABBA covers! Anyway. Check them out. They rock. Other new music I discovered&#8230; Gotye and Kimbra. They&#8217;re two different artists, but they sing together on one track (Somebody That I Used To Know) that is, quite possibly, the greatest song ever written (besides Gemini (Birthday Song) by Why?, of course). I have embedded the video below as it is one of my favorite things ever. The song and the video match up perfectly and Gotye and Kimbra have this electric chemistry that gives you chills.</li>
</ul>
<p>Well. There you have it. My life as of right now. There&#8217;s a whole lot more going on, but I thought this would be a good enough summation for now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My <strong>lovely</strong> wife wrote a <strong>lovely</strong> poem in ninth grade. I would like to share it with you right now.</p>
<p><img src="http://adamvonwillis.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Life-is-Nintendo-Poem-by-Heather-Willis.jpg" alt="Life is Nintendo - Poem by Heather Willis" title="Life is Nintendo - Poem by Heather Willis" width="340" height="321" class="alignright size-full wp-image-18692" /><em>In the beginning we are fragile and weak<br />
Just starting to play our roles<br />
Not knowing where we are going<br />
And only learning the controls</p>
<p>When we finally get the hang of it<br />
And gain some battle points<br />
Something new is thrown at us<br />
As our thumbs grow numb in the joints</p>
<p>Towards the end<br />
When we are almost through<br />
A fork in the road from which to choose<br />
We took the left path, but if we only knew</p>
<p>We had a setback, but that&#8217;s okay<br />
We can make it up along the way</p>
<p>-Heather Williamson</em></p>
<p>I love my <a href="http://www.heatherandadamaretotallyrad.com/">totally rad</a> wife!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night, Heather and I had a conversation in regards to what we are <strong>passionate</strong> about. When discussing what I have passion for, the first thing Heather said was <strong>Disneyland</strong>. You know what&#8230; that&#8217;s true. I have <strong>many</strong> passions. Some silly. Some serious. Some small. Some large. Some cheap. Some expensive. But <strong>none</strong> of them even come close to rivaling my love for Disneyland. In case you didn&#8217;t notice, the heading of this blog is <strong>inspired</strong> by Disneyland (well&#8230; the Disneyland Resort&#8230; technically). The mountain range is that of the <strong>Matterhorn</strong> and the font and overall style of this blog is that of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Craftsman">American Craftsman</a> movement which is what the <strong>Grand Californian</strong> (and a portion of Disney California Adventure) is modeled after.</p>
<p>Anyway. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be going back to my favorite place in the world until next <strong>December</strong> because of our trip to the <strong>Netherlands</strong> next summer. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I really do want to go to Europe. I&#8217;m <strong>super</strong> stoked. Super. <strong>Stoked</strong>. But I cannot deny that it does make me sad that it&#8217;s been so long since I&#8217;ve been to Disneyland. I&#8217;m glad I have <strong>Heather</strong>. If I was single and hadn&#8217;t been for this long, I would probably end up having an aneurysm or <strong>literally</strong> melting into a gelatinous puddle of <strong>sadness</strong>.</p>
<p><em>At least I have my pictures!</em></p>
<p><img src="http://adamvonwillis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/heather-adam-pirates-queue.jpg" alt="Heather and Adam in the Pirates Queue" title="Heather and Adam in the Pirates Queue" width="320" height="240" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13783" /><img src="http://adamvonwillis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/heather-adam-woody-jessie.jpg" alt="Heather and Adam and Woody and Jessie" title="Heather and Adam and Woody and Jessie" width="320" height="240" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13784" /></p>
<p><strong>Happy</strong> times! If you knew where we were in the picture on the left just by looking at what was behind us, you <strong>win</strong> and are <strong>eternally</strong> awesome!</p>

<p>Ahhhh!!! My two <strong>favorite</strong> things! Wooden bears and <strong>Heather</strong>!</p>
<p><img src="http://adamvonwillis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/monte-cristo-disneyland.jpg" alt="Monte Cristo at Disneyland" title="Monte Cristo at Disneyland" width="640" height="425" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13771" /></p>
<p>Oh man&#8230; <strong>Monte</strong>. Fucking. <strong>Cristo</strong>. Get in my god damned belly right now, you beautifully <strong>fattening</strong> hunk of <strong>deliciousness</strong>. Just looking at pictures of it make me <strong>drool</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piranha_3-D"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1567" title="Adam Willis Attack!" src="http://adamvonwillis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/adam-225x300.jpg" alt="Adam Willis Loves You Very Much!" width="158" height="210" /></a>Hey there, kiddos! It is time, once more (even though this is the first time), for my annual State of the Adam address! Yes&#8230; now you will know all about me and what I am upto. This may appear to be a normal blog post that just states my current endeavors and thoughts on my own life like any other blog post, but you&#8217;d be wrong! DEAD wrong. But you&#8217;d actually be right. I suppose you could call this a blog post that has been super sized. Are you ready? <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Pan's_Flight">Come on, everybody! Here we go!</a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Weekends!</strong> Now that Heather is working at CPS, we have weekends off! This may not seem like a huge deal to most, but we have had the shittiest schedule for a while now. I&#8217;ve had my Monday-Friday 9-5 type schedule for a while now, but Heather had been working overnights at the child nursery she worked at. And she would work different days each week. Our sleep schedules were fucked. But now&#8230; we can get back to normal and do normal things at normal hours. Big relief. One thing this lets us do is actually start going on day trips again! Heck&#8230; I fell in love with Heather on a day trip. Many new and fantastical <a href="http://abcadventures.wordpress.com/">adventures</a> await us.</li>
<li><strong>Memory.</strong> Mine sucks. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ve mentioned it before, but I have terribly bad memory. Now that I have insurance, I plan on going to some kind of doctor for this. I really don&#8217;t know if anything can be done, but it&#8217;s worth a try. I mean&#8230; I forget things within seconds. I have to write every fucking thing I want to do down on paper and even then I forget about that paper. It&#8217;s like I can&#8217;t win. It&#8217;s like I&#8217;m sabotaging myself. Hopefully I don&#8217;t have to resort to Memento style tattooing. Bah.</li>
<li><strong>Heather.</strong> Wow. What can I say? I still feel like the luckiest guy on Earth. To go from <em>she-who-must-not-be-named</em> to my beautiful, intelligent, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_Protective_Services">child-protectin&#8217;</a> wife was a change for the better that is roughly equivalent to the difference between the state fair (at times fun, but mostly frightening and horrible) and Disneyland (always perfect). Night and fucking day. Jesus. So yeah&#8230; Heather is amazing. We may not be where we want to be (Arizona) in life at the moment, but we will be soon and it will be glorious&#8230; and I know we can do it. There&#8217;s never a day when I don&#8217;t feel a rush of excitement as Heather greets me after I get home from work. I feel at home with her. There&#8217;s nothing about being with her that feels unnatural or forced. I&#8217;m not very good with accurate descriptions of my feelings, but I guess you could say that being with her has made my life feel like it&#8217;s complete. Like a puzzle that finally got finished after many years. I just don&#8217;t know of anything else I really <strong>need</strong> out of life now. Sure, there are things that I want (vacations, Disneyland, toys, gadgets, gizmos, etc.), but they really don&#8217;t seem too important. When I was with&#8230; <em>her</em>&#8230; I was always thinking of things I could get or do that would make me happier&#8230; that would make me feel like my life was getting better or more fulfilling. I guess I thought that was okay at the time, but I was wrong. It&#8217;s kind of like I just don&#8217;t give a fuck about what the fuck I do or have as long as Heather is with me. Yep. Ha&#8230; wow. Corny as shit, huh? It&#8217;s all true though. All you need is love.</li>
<li><strong>Job.</strong> Still not diggin&#8217; my job too much, but I&#8217;ll live. I make good money and it&#8217;s worth it to me right now. Can&#8217;t wait to move and have to find a new one, though.</li>
<li><strong>Pets. </strong>Monte sucks. I do not like owning a snake as he is boring as fuck and scares the shit out of me. Hmm&#8230; what to do? Oh&#8230; I know&#8230; RATS!!! As I&#8217;ve mentioned before&#8230; I am getting two rats: Tegan and Sara. I actually built their cage myself out of hardware cloth and linoleum. It&#8217;s amazing and beautiful and can easily be modded and added to. I still don&#8217;t have them as I&#8217;m getting them from a <a href="http://www.aristoratsaz.com/">rat breeder</a> and have to wait until they are 5 weeks old to get them. It&#8217;s worth the wait. They&#8217;ll be much more used to humans than Petco rats because the breeder plays with and takes great care of them.</li>
<li><strong>Team Willis.</strong> Katy just got back from France a few weeks ago and is just as awesome as ever. I&#8217;m so glad that Heather and the rest of my family get along so well. I mean&#8230; she is family now, after all. Heather motherfucking Willis. In my opinion&#8230; the BEST Willis. We&#8217;re all gonna go to <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/posh-improvisational-cuisine-scottsdale">Posh</a> together in a few weeks. Fuck yeah. It&#8217;s going to be a night to rival all other nights.</li>
<li><strong>Health. </strong>I&#8217;m trying to stay focused on my weight but it&#8217;s hard. I&#8217;m not at all happy with where I am at right now. I weigh 190 at the moment. I&#8217;d like to get down to about 165. I was down at that weight when I first started dating Heather, but I got too comfortable and complacent and stopped working out. I know I can get to where I want to be, but it&#8217;s not going to be easy.</li>
<li><strong>Harry Potter.</strong> I know I&#8217;m like a hundred years late on this, but I am finally reading through all seven Harry Potter books. As of right now I am in the middle of the Half Blood Prince and loving it! Heather and I have been watching the movies as I finish the books. I will definitely be done with Deathly Hallows before the movie comes out so that should be exciting. My hair is getting pretty shaggy so maybe I&#8217;ll sharpie a scar on my forehead, buy some robes and circle glasses, and head on out to a midnight showing! Huzzah!</li>
<li><strong>Soda.</strong> I drink too much soda. Diet Mountain Dew and Coke Zero mainly. I know this is a problem, but I don&#8217;t feel like tackling it yet. I will eventually, but right now is just not the right time.</li>
<li><strong>The Netherlands.</strong> Okay. This is epic. Me and m&#8217;lady are going to The Netherlands for at least three weeks in June 2011. Yeah. I am stoked. This is our scouting trip to help us determine if we want to move there or not. I really don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s going to entice us or not. This is very exciting as it has the potential to be a life changing event. Oh yeah&#8230; and we might (if we can come up with the money) go visit Zermatt, Switzerland!!! Why is this awesome? Oh&#8230; I don&#8217;t know&#8230; maybe because that is where the MOTHERFUCKING MATTERHORN is!</li>
<li><strong>Disneyland.</strong> Speaking of the Matterhorn&#8230; yeah&#8230; Disneyland. Not sure I&#8217;ve mentioned it before&#8230; but I&#8217;m kind of in love with the place. Just a little. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s so sad that I haven&#8217;t been in like a million years! That&#8217;s what happens when you become responsible and try to pay off your debt while simultaneously saving up for a grand European vacation. Don&#8217;t get me wrong&#8230; I am glad we are doing these things&#8230; but I still miss the place. I feel at home in Disneyland. Oh well. I&#8217;ll go back eventually. Sometime after Holland. And hey&#8230; even if we do move to Europe I&#8217;ll still have Disneyland Paris which is, in my opinion, just as good as the original Disneyland.</li>
<li><strong>Politics.</strong> Blah. I&#8217;m a far left liberal who hates Republicans. Conservative ideals and free market stuff is fine and dandy, but Republicans are ASSHOLES. The party is full of stupid, piece of shit, mean spirited, ignorant, racist, bigoted, sexist, pathetic, worthless, assholes. Democrats are weak and not actually liberal, but they are no where near as bad as their counterparts. Anyway. Yeah. I belong in Europe. In a country where healthcare is not considered a privilege but a right and gay people can actually marry each other. American politics suck.</li>
</ul>
<p>Well&#8230; there you go. That&#8217;s, obviously, not everything there is to know about me, but I think it&#8217;s a pretty good representation of who I am and what I am upto at the moment. Bye Bye.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today is the day we see how much of our deposit we get back at the house we were renting. According to a whole bunch of online reviews, this could <strong>suck</strong>. The property management company gets some real shitty reviews. Blah. I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ll find a few things to ding us for, but it better <strong>not </strong>be too much! We put way too much time and money into cleaning that <strong>damn </strong>place for them to take away our deposit. The new place seems to be much better. The company running the property is <strong>fantastic </strong>and is run by some very <strong>nice </strong>people. Also&#8230; can&#8217;t wait to build my first fort. Should be pretty <strong>epic</strong>.</p>
<p>This picture of Walt Disney is just amazing:</p>
<p><a href="http://adamvonwillis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/walt-disney-plaza-inn.jpg"><img src="http://adamvonwillis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/walt-disney-plaza-inn.jpg" alt="Walt Disney Dining at the Plaza Inn in Disneyland" title="Walt Disney Dining at the Plaza Inn in Disneyland" width="450" height="455" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1292" /></a></p>
<p>He looks like he could easily be my grandpa. He looks so <strong>real</strong>. Not at all like the symbol that he has become. Man&#8230; I don&#8217;t know how you can think there&#8217;s a god when this beautiful man was taken from us at the <strong>young </strong>age of 65. He was still designing rides and being as <strong>creative </strong>and <strong>fantastical </strong>and <strong>young at heart </strong>as ever. Besides getting to be with Heather forever, my biggest reason for wanting there to be an afterlife is so that I could meet Walt. Although&#8230; I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d be able to stop crying long enough to actually talk to him. One can only <strong>hope</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Heather and I signed the lease for our new condo a few days ago! <strong>Yippie</strong>! I really did like the house we are in right now, but there are a few things that <strong>suck </strong>about it. First of all&#8230; the yard. Blegh. I hate mowing the lawn (not that I ever do it) and I hate taking care of plants. I also hate how fucking <strong>hot </strong>it is in Arizona. If you don&#8217;t have a pool (which we don&#8217;t), there&#8217;s really no reason to go back there. Well&#8230; we did have the wedding (which was fucking <strong>awesome</strong>) back there, but that was an exception to the rule. The new condo has a backyard, but it&#8217;s quite <strong>small </strong>and <strong>shaded</strong>. Sweet. Second&#8230; the size. Having more space is good in some cases, but our house was just too big for my liking. The condo is about 3/4 the size of the house, but it&#8217;s 2 stories so it&#8217;s segmented more. I dunno&#8230; maybe I&#8217;m wrong. I really think I&#8217;m going to like the smaller rooms and more European feel of it. </p>
<p>Whoa&#8230; I think my tenses were all <strong>messed up</strong> in that paragraph. Whatever. </p>
<p>Soooo yeah&#8230; I just did <strong>this</strong>:</p>
<p><a href="http://adamvonwillis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Mobile-Photo-Jun-11-2010-11-33-33-PM.jpg"><img src="http://adamvonwillis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Mobile-Photo-Jun-11-2010-11-33-33-PM-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1205" /></a></p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t immediately know what that is then <strong>good for you</strong>. It&#8217;s World of Warcraft. I&#8217;m playing it. <strong>Again</strong>. I would just like to state for the record that I am in no way addicted to this game. I used to be. But <strong>not </strong>anymore. Turns out&#8230; hanging out with your wonderful wife is way the hell better than playing a silly game. <strong>Who knew???</strong> Yeah. I do like WoW, though. I&#8217;ve already played it and quit since I&#8217;ve been with Heather. I really don&#8217;t think it affected anything. I quit after playing for a few months because it&#8217;s one of those games where it&#8217;s fun for a while, but then it can get <strong>boring</strong>. So yeah&#8230; I only plan on playing while Heather is at work. That&#8217;s why I signed up again. I get <strong>bored </strong>while I&#8217;m home alone. And don&#8217;t you worry, I am not going to start blogging about WoW. That would be <strong>weird</strong>.</p>

Now, I <strong>wouldn&#8217;t</strong> say that Claire really was as bad as any one of the Gogans, but if you know about my past you&#8217;ll probably find this <strong>amusing</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why don&#8217;t I have more money? All I want to do is watch LOVE in Vegas, and own a bunch of land and a bunch of horses (and a baby donkey that never grows up), and hang out on the beach, and go to Disneyland, and take plane rides, and travel around Europe, and go on day trips, and travel across America in an RV, and do everything else that could ever make me happy. That&#8217;s all. You know what, though&#8230; the reason all of these things are so much fun is Heather. That&#8217;s why I don&#8217;t really care too much about not going on very many vacations in the near future. I get to be with Heather. Yeah, this is super corny, but I mean it.</p>
<p><a href="http://adamvonwillis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_0062.jpg"><img src="http://adamvonwillis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_0062-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1055" /></a></p>
<p>You may not believe it, but I would rather spend a day at home with my wife than a week alone at Disneyland. Yep yep yep!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well&#8230; I am married. Again. <strong>Yay</strong>!!!! Yes&#8230; this is my second marriage, but it doesn&#8217;t feel like it. The way I feel right now is the complete <strong>opposite </strong>of how I felt last time.</p>
<p><strong>Before</strong>&#8230; I felt <em>trapped</em>. I felt like it was something I <em>had </em>to do. Something that I was just going to <em>have </em>to <em>deal </em>with and accept. And I did&#8230; for a while. Honestly, for how weak of a person I was back then, I&#8217;m surprised I got out. I&#8217;m quite proud of myself, thank you very much!</p>
<p><strong>Now</strong>&#8230; I feel an immense amount of <em>freedom</em>. I feel <em>relaxed </em>and <em>happy</em>. I now know what it <em>should </em>feel like to be married. Too many kids these days are getting married at a really young age and just accepting the crappy life they are forcing themselves into. Yes, the divorce rate is super high and that does show that those in unhappy marriages are escaping them much more often now than in the past, but there are still way too many people that should not be together that refuse to get a divorce. I blame our mediocre society. The reason I stayed with <em>her </em>for so long was because I was accepting mediocrity as a viable way to live my life. Once I realized how fucking stupid and pathetic that was, I left her. Life should be enjoyed and lived to it&#8217;s fullest! There&#8217;s no reason to get in a fight every fucking day and then sleep on the couch or have shit thrown at you. Not worth it. There really is someone out there for you that can make you happy. This is (probably) the only life we have and we shouldn&#8217;t squander it. The Beatles were spot on when they said that all we need is love. It would seem as though this is pretty obvious, but who do you know that is truly following that beautiful life ideal? I know I&#8217;m not. I&#8217;m working on it, but I do get caught up with petty life shit like work, bills, gadgets, etc. Yes, that stuff is important, but focusing too much on it is a waste. I am happiest when I let go of all of that bullshit and just focus on Heather. No amount of money or toys or gadgets or visits to Disneyland will ever beat a single minute alone with Heather. If you can&#8217;t say that about the person you are with, then you should get the fuck out. </p>
<p><strong>Bah</strong>&#8230; I really am a <em>bad </em>writer. Re-reading the above paragraph upsets me because it doesn&#8217;t correctly show the emotion I felt while writing it. I need to stop beating myself up about that, but it&#8217;s hard. I love blogging, but the thing that stops me from posting more often is my lack of writing skills. I am afraid to tackle really important issues due to my fear of failing at emotionally and intelligently conveying the point I am trying to get across. I&#8217;ll figure it out. Hopefully.</p>
<p>In music news&#8230; I can listen to all three <a href="http://djearworm.com/">United States of Pop</a> songs back to back for hours&#8230; so deliciously delectable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, the <strong>big day</strong> is coming up! I am going to marry <a href="http://twitter.com/msheatherface">Heather Williamson</a>. I wish I could accurately express how <strong>outrageous </strong>and explosively <strong>amazing</strong> this is to me. I don&#8217;t have a single doubt in my mind that I am making the best choice I could possibly make. I mean, seriously&#8230; who doesn&#8217;t love <a href="http://www.itsmeheatherface.com/">Heather</a>??? She&#8217;s an awesome blossom.</p>
<p>And the wedding! <strong>Oh boy!</strong> We&#8217;ve been doing so much to get ready for it&#8230; I just want it to get here so I can relax and enjoy the company of my new wife and tons of friends and family. Wow&#8230; still can&#8217;t get over how different it feels this time. When I got married before, I did it because I thought I <strong>had </strong>to&#8230; Now, I am getting married because I <strong>want </strong>to. Hell yeah.</p>
<p>In other news, I&#8217;ve started reading my wonderfully <strong>immoral </strong>ESV study bible again. I last left off right after poor <strong>Samson </strong>got his hair chopped off and am starting back up at <strong>Matthew</strong>. Wait&#8230; <em>what?</em> Yeah&#8230; I&#8217;m ditching the rest of the Old Testament. It was boring, and most &#8220;Christians&#8221; today don&#8217;t even pay attention to it (except for the hating on gays part). Anyway&#8230; I will probably come back to it eventually, but for now&#8230; it&#8217;s time for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Christ_Superstar">Jesus</a>!</p>
<p>Ya know&#8230; I do that a lot. Quit things and then start up again and then quit and then start up again. Over and over. It&#8217;s <strong>cyclical</strong>. For example, I read every single book that <strong>Mark Twain</strong> wrote in about 6 months. I couldn&#8217;t put em down! But after that&#8230; nothing. No books of any kind for about a year. Then I started reading <strong>Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.</strong> for another 6 months. Delicious, literary goodness. Then&#8230; nothing. Bah. So it goes. Yeah&#8230; same thing is happening with <a href="http://adamvonwillis.yelp.com">Yelp</a>. I wrote a bunch of reviews and then just kind of stopped. I love writing reviews&#8230; I just can&#8217;t find the motivation as of late. I have found that if I just wait it out, my drive will eventually come back. Yeah.</p>
<p><a href="http://adamvonwillis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/l_2048_1536_45FC6457-AE5B-4E1C-8C2E-5039694DBD8B.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-808" title="World of Warcraft" src="http://adamvonwillis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/l_2048_1536_45FC6457-AE5B-4E1C-8C2E-5039694DBD8B-300x225.jpg" alt="World of Warcraft" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Hmm&#8230; just got the sudden urge to start playing <strong>World of Warcraft</strong> again. I really did a good job of not getting addicted last time, and quitting was super easy. Maybe after the wedding. <em>Maybe&#8230;</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Heather and I got together with <a href="http://thebartlemans.com/">The Bartlemans</a> tonight at <a href="http://www.libertymarket.com/">Liberty Market</a> to discuss the <a href="http://www.heatherandadamaretotallyrad.com/wedding">wedding</a> as <a href="https://twitter.com/YouNeek">Ricky</a> is going to be the one marrying us! I am not going to give anything away, but the wedding ceremony is going to be pretty fucking sweet. And so is the party! The whole thing is just going to be awesome.</p>
<p>Ah yes&#8230; <a href="http://www.yelp.com/">Yelp</a>. I&#8217;ve gotten into writing reviews on Yelp. I&#8217;m loving it! You can check out my profile and reviews <a href="http://adamvonwillis.yelp.com/">here</a>. I just went to the amazing Yelp in Bloom event at the Desert Botanical Gardens with Heather. Oh god it was awesome. <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/yelp-in-bloom-at-desert-botanical-garden-phoenix#hrid:lBFlFkcn3oMLpKF9YQnf6g">Click here for my (and over 100 others) review of it.</a></p>
<p>Every now and then I get this intense desire to work with my hands. I love doing this internet stuff, but sometimes I just want to put in some hard work. I kind of did this when I worked overnights as a stocker at Walmart. I loved it! I mean&#8230; I loved the job&#8230; not the people. Yikes! What a bunch of sad, pathetic human beings. Anyway&#8230; yeah. I know it&#8217;s probably a cliché, but I just felt more emotionally rewarded after a hard days work than when I have worked all day in a cubicle, staring at a computer screen. Yes, I probably am a lazy, fat-ass American at heart and would get sick of it eventually, but you never know&#8230; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sitting in a session about ROI and Social Media. Not very interesting yet.</p>
<p>Really looking forward to the Webmaster Bash tonight. Probably going to get drunk. Yeah.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m using the mac while I&#8217;m here at SES. I still don&#8217;t like Macs. Yes. Macs do suck. Although, I&#8217;m sure if I owned one I would love it more than anything. Maybe it&#8217;s just that this one has a little screen. I&#8217;m used to my 22 inch monitor at home. This is like going from a big screen HDTV to a portable CRT TV. Bah!</p>
<p>So yeah&#8230; no one really knows how to measure ROI in social media. Good! Ha!</p>
<p>I love Facebook and Twitter&#8230; just like every single other person here. Social Media is God at SES. It&#8217;s pretty neat. HR Block and Dell have been praised quite a bit for their Social Media exploits. Storage West is totally going to be looked up to by next year. YES WE CAN!</p>
<p>Also, I miss Heather. More than I can even come close to expressing in words. She knows hows much I miss here, and that&#8217;s all that really matters.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok. I was halfway between here and the kitchen (on my way to get more Coke Zero, of course) when I became super duper happy and had the sudden urge/desire to write a blog. Yay!</p>
<p>First of all&#8230; I haven&#8217;t posted for a while due to me being in New York. It was okay. That is all. The best part was Heather. By far. Yeah. Pictures will be posted at <a href="http://www.heatherandadamaretotallyrad.com/index.htm">HaAaTR</a> pretty soon. </p>
<p>Actually&#8230; besides Heather&#8230; the VERY BEST part of New York was buying a new Swatch!!! Ok&#8230; one sec&#8230; I&#8217;m going to take a picture of it on my arm right now&#8230; one sec&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;</p>
<p>Ok done. Look:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-405" src="http://adamvonwillis.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/swatch1.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s the exact same one as before, buuut&#8230; I don&#8217;t care! It rocks. I even bought it at the same Swatch store in Times Square that I bought my very first Swatch at in high school. Also&#8230; it was 108 bucks. LOST!</p>
<p>Heather and I are almost halfway through season 3 of Lost now. Yay! January 21st&#8230; SEASON 5!!!</p>
<p>Really though&#8230; I love the watch and all&#8230; but all that really matters&#8230; is Heather. I have never loved anyone (except for my wittle baby Matilda face!!!) as much as her and there is no reason why I ever will. I don&#8217;t believe I have blogged about it before, but I really have a hard time relaying my emotions through words and it really bugs me. I am a super emotional person and I would love to tell everyone exactly how fantastic and perfect I am feeling, but when I try to&#8230; it sounds generic and, honestly, kind of fake. I dunno&#8230; maybe someday I&#8217;ll be a good writer. Anyway&#8230; the reason I bring it up is because I wish I could write more about Heather, but I wouldn&#8217;t be doing how I feel any justice if I wrote it out here. Bah!</p>
<p>Also&#8230; I love where I live. Nothing better than living with the one person you love. Honestly, I missed living at home quite often when I was with her, but I can&#8217;t think of a single time I have felt that yet with Heather. </p>
<p>Shit&#8230; the people downstairs are slamming doors and yelling. And there is a baby. I hope I don&#8217;t need to call the police. I can&#8217;t wait to get a house with Heather. And then move to the East Coast&#8230; and then Europe! Seriously&#8230; Holland. It is going to happen. </p>
<p>Well&#8230; time to work. Although&#8230; I feel like I forgot to talk about hundreds of things. Hm.</p>

<p>1. Rocky Point is this weekend! Yay!!! Just me and Heather. *sigh*</p>
<p>2. It&#8217;s a really weird feeling to already be in another (better) relationship. Not bad. Just weird. And lovely. And exciting. And wonderful. And etcetera.</p>
<p>3. Sometime soon I will be deleting quite a few older posts. I looked through them and honestly&#8230; I really don&#8217;t need to be reminded of what I was going through after the divorce. All that shit that was OBVIOUSLY directed at her was just silly. I guess that means that all of the King Kolob posts are going away as well. Meh. All is well!</p>
<p>4. I <strong>cannot</strong> wait to go see LOVE again with Heather!!! Only a month and a half away!</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>You pile up enough tomorrows, and you&#8217;ll find you&#8217;re left with nothing but a lot of empty yesterdays. I don&#8217;t know about you, but I&#8217;d like to make today worth remembering</em>.&#8221; &#8211; Prof. Harold Hill</p>

<p>06/07/08!</p>
<p>Also, no one reads this blog except for you&#8230; and you&#8230; and maybe <em>you</em>. Why do I do it? I don&#8217;t know. I guess I just like reading what was going on in my recent past. Blah. All that shit about Claire kind of sucked. She is out of my life and I could not be happier.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to lunch with Ashlee on Saturday. Yippie!</p>
<p>Soooo&#8230; In my mind&#8230; Wallace is kind of like The Island. It is controlling my life. I denied it for years and for that it made my life a living hell. But when I went back there to visit Amanda and Heather it embraced me and put me back in it&#8217;s good graces. Thanks Wallace, Thallace.</p>
