I was in class when I realized it was 08/08/08.

Not only was this an interesting date because of the numbers, but tonight I watched the most breathtaking ceremony I have ever seen.

China has done themselves proud for their successful opening ceremonies for this years summer olympics. Regardless of political differences, or anything else, you cannot say that China did not do a fantastic job creating, and executing, probably the most amazing show in the history of the world.

Am I wrong?

Isn’t a marriage between two people a commitment for life?

At least, this is what I have always been led to believe. In sickness and in health, ‘til death do us part, and all that.

Now I’m not so certain.

Certainly I’m not unique.

In spite of my self-proclaimed open-mindedness, I have come to the realization that I have been plodding along through life with blinders on. It’s not that after 19 years of marriage I am depressed about being separated from my wife. In fact, the opposite feeling. There is a sense of freedom and release.

One of my traits I have always thought of as being strong, is the ability t get along with anyone. At work, or in my personal life, not much really bothers me. I believe this is actually a negative thing now.

A show I have recently enjoyed is called, “Moonlight”.

It’s the typical vampire show where the lead vampire is trying to be a good guy even though he is a vampire.

The storyline has been done to death (pun intended), but it’s always a fun ride to see the conflicts that a character has to endure trying to live in a world where, technically, he is unwanted and would literally be killed if discovered.

There is usually a love interest, who is not a card-carrying member of the undead society, which always creates even more inner-turmoil for the blood-drinking leading man.

This show has a lot of nice twists and turns in it, and the characters are very believable. Believable is a loosely used term for a show about vampires running amok in our cities underworld.

I did not write this article to be a review of the show, or to dig deep into the Gothic mainstream, or even as a commentary on our society because we enjoy watching this type of programming.

The real reason I’m writing this is because last night I watched an episode in Moonlight that still has me giggling today.

Let me set the scene for you the best I can remember…
