Caution: Really Bad Analogy In Your Future
INT. JAIME’S BEDROOM. NOON.
No, this isn’t that type of blog entry, you freaking pervert.
My roommate and I have been dealing with annoying Internet issues for the past several days. Every morning, one of us has to schlep out to the family room to restart the modem and the wireless router. I know, I know. Such a hard life.
So this morning, on my daily trip out to the living room, I found myself bitterly listing the many things that I thought could be causing our Internet to crash. In the span of ten seconds, I managed to blame Comcast, our upstairs neighbors, and my janky cable-to-internet setup.
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
When I walked into the living room I was confronted by not ten, not twenty, but six hundred billion ants having a family fun day in and around our wireless router. Never mind the kitchen, which was a mere twenty paces away. No, our ants are so 2.0 that they like to party with technology. As I spent the next hour spraying, sweeping, swiping, and dust busting my new found friends, I had the kind of realization that only comes when you’re inhaling roach/ant killer. Ready? Here it is…
Trying to guess what marriage will be like is kind of like guessing what caused my router to drop this morning. I never would have gotten it right.
Ok, I told you the analogy was going to be bad. I even went so far as to warn you in the title of this blog post. But since we’re already here… let’s take this FTW…
One of the reasons Chris and I are going on this road trip is to chat with our married friends and family about what they thought marriage was going to be like before the big day… and what marriage actually turned out to be. We want to know the good, the great, the fantastic, the bad, the sad, and the craptastic. So get your stories ready- we want to hear them.
I promise not to write anything else while under the influence of Raid.

EEEEWWWWWW! Ants totally give me the heebie-jeebies! As for the analogy, you are correct. Marriage is even better than I thought it was going to be.
Ahh! WTF? Of course our ants would be all about the Internet. Of COURSE. Next thing you know they’ll be Twittering about it.
Thanks so much for taking care of it. That is so random!
At least ants don’t poop. Or maybe they do, but it must be like, microscopic.
And ooh, is being on raid like huffing computer duster??

oh no…remember the ants in Tom’s food? How they would sacrifice a few to make a train across the moat that we built? They got worse and worse. They drove me east.
Thankfully, a certain person who shall remain nameless (JC!) no longer eats chocolate in the bathroom.
Chocolate? Nah, it was that damn Vista again. Making people forget their passwords all afternoon, causing plague of insects in the bathroom, making all the organic bananas left at TJ’s to be bruised, arrggh!!
