This is my 100th blog entry on Dead-Logic.com. I started blogging seriously in October 2009, and now, one year and 100 blog entries later, I feel like a kid who's just stepped off a roller coaster. One year ago I was newly married, starting my first semester of graduate school and feeling better than I had felt in at least a decade. The feeling didn't last long. I had to quit grad school to help take care of my new wife who had lost her job due to excessive tardiness. Not long after that I discovered Kim's infidelity with a wannabe thug, and her actions and comments in the events following that discovery provided strong evidence that my wife fits the textbook definition of psychopath. We have been separated since early May, and now I'm filing for divorce.
Technically, I have already written more than 100 blog entries, but a while back I deleted a handful of them that were about my wife. It was my way of moving forward, moving on. I know how to be strong in the midst of adversity. And as far as Kim goes, well, "I got 99 problems, but" I don't like referring to women by that word, so I'll just say that I'm doing what I can to cope with the aftermath of her instability.
Am I bitter? A little, but I was that way long before Kim brought her nonsense into my life. I was married before, remember? ;-)
In this past year, I have wrestled with my beliefs - or, more precisely, my lack of beliefs vis-à-vis god. I already knew where I stood (more or less) when I started this blog. I just needed my emotional side to catch up with my rational side. Writing - and reading the responses from those of you who read my blog - helped me come to terms with myself. My thanks go out to all of you for being a part of this.
I feel like this entry is less exciting than a milestone-type entry should be. So I'll end with this image which I find to be totally awesome:
