A few reasons you should get married

Before anyone gets offended this is an excerpt from a funny conversation on the drive home from a Vegas Trip.

A few reasons a guy should get married

You need someone to talk to your mom when she calls
Someone has to cook and clean
Ironing is just not your thing
You need a tax write-off
All those +1 invitations are starting to kill you
You are tired of having sex

A female friend came up with these for why a girl should get married

You need someone to hold the bags while you shop
You could use some extra closet space and a roommate that doesn't need it
Someone has to mow the lawn
Who is going to help me buy the TV for my place
My car is out of warranty and needs some repair work
The damn faucet keeps making a weird noise
You need a tax write off
All those +1 invitations are starting to kill you


Anyone got things to add to the list?

What stands before you

Words do not define my purpose
Struggle doesn't define the way
Prose cannot capture the journey
of what stands before you

the destination is the present
the gift is the future
the past illuminates the reality
of what stands before you
The path has been hard some say
others that it is beautiful
The struggle is the fun part
of what stands before you

My ambition is a gift of the past
My purpose a facet of the present
Glory is a mere moment, a mere part
of what stands before you
I like my car, I want a house
but neither is the pulse of my being
These things are the mere possesions
of what stands before you

Words do not define my purpose
Struggle doesn't define the way
Prose cannot capture the journey
of what stands before you
