So today at work I got to take food waste from the cafe and mix it in a blender to use as feed stock for the bacteria. The food from the garbage actually smelled quite good...was tempted to take a bite outta the bun floating in the pool of potatoe salad. It's kinda neat just trying to figure out which kinda biowastes can be used as a fuel for hydrogen production.
Anywho, onto my long awaited article...or not...here it is nonetheless:

Sweetness of Singlehood
After reading Brent's and Kwan's blogs, I wanted to create me lil' own "wish list" too. However, that will be for another day and episode.
[Please refrain from reading the rest of this post if you are a giant sap looking for true love under the radiance of a mooncake on a mid-autumn festival night]
... Yeah, so basically...this is something that I learned at Winter Conference at one of the sessions. You gotta be content being single before you can be content being with someone else. See, this made a lot of sense to me. The "significant other" person should not be your "other half" or make you complete. Christ should be the one to make you complete and satisfied. The other person is merely a companion/helper/housewife. And until I can come to the realization that Christ is suffice, I don't think I can treat my wife the way she could be treated. I have much maturation to undergo before any of this mumbo jumbo relationship stuff would ever appear in my life.
It is easy to be single, but it is difficult to be satistfied being single. I guess that would be one of my greatest weaknesses...sometimes I would covet other people's relationship..."Boy oh boy, if I had a lady like that...dang, I'm pretty sure I could cook better than him..."....etc.
That's something that I'm learning and will continue to learn until the day I become satisfied...being single, but not alone.
oh oh oh, here's the top 5 reason why I think being single is super:
5) When you make a decision (ie. buy a house, eat out, going away on a missions trip, to keep the toilet seat up or down...) you don't need to confer with another person to seek their approval
4) You have more money to spend on yourself and to buy flowers for yourself with
3) You won't get kicked between the legs if you forget a certain person's birthday or anniversary
2) You can eat a "two-can-dine" meal at McDonald's by yourself and pig out at a buffet and chew with your mouth opened
and the number one reason why being single is super....
1) You don't needa wear deodorant
...and we're finished.
