		<description><![CDATA[Where we went to a small little Asian store to buy supplies for that nights dinner.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oak Island&#8230;</p>
<p>Oh, the joys of a simple vacation. This is something we needed very much. We enjoyed ourselves for the 4 and a half days we were there. On Sunday we just relaxed for the half day we were there. Then on Monday we slept-in and then went to the beach and road around the Island and visited the sites. Then on Tuesday we took the ferry to Wilmington where we went to a small little Asian store to buy supplies for that nights dinner. Although it is typed in a few sentences this took many hours to accomplish. This was a 6 hour trek that in the end cost us a day of no beach time. Overall we only had about 6 hours on the beach. Yet, we loved every minute of our trip. We spent time with my Sister Megan, and her mother Chell. We enjoy our time with both of them and I love my sister very much. She will soon get what God has planned for her. Which we will all be very proud of her.</p>
<p>More to come&#8230;</p>
<p>Always,</p>

<p>Ok, finally we have decided the date of our wedding. We are going to have the ceremony on April 24, 2010. That will be the day that two worlds become one. Where no matter what our differences, no matter how many people do not like the fact that we are not of the same race, color, or creed, no matter how much we go through, we will be one love on this day. We are having a small get together with family and only a few friends. More to come soon&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are planing a trip&#8230; A trip to Las Vegas&#8230; And unlike the slogan  &#8220;What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas&#8221; I will be blogging about it.  This is a blog site after all. I know I do not write on here as much as I  should. But hey, it is something to do when I am board. And I am sure  that I will be doing more of it once I find that spot I like to write  about. Anyway, our trip will be in December through January&#8230; We will  be enjoying the Spas and Casions and such. Never been at the age where I  could gamble&#8230; Should be very intresting to see what Vegas has to  offer. We are staying at the Lexor the Pyrmid. It is going to be  great&#8230; I will post updates as the time comes closer&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Or at least I thought it was&#8230;</p>
<p>Well, we set the wedding  day yesterday&#8230; But, it turns out that she has something else in  mind&#8230; A trip to Laos before we get married&#8230; Why the trip??? Well,  she wants to go half way around the world to buy her Wedding Dress and  my Wedding Costume. Her dress will be made of Silk and so colorful and  the only way I can discribe my costume, is by you taking a trip back in  time&#8230; Remember MC Hammer? You know the pants he used to wear? The ones  that were big at the bottom and had a small waste. That is my Wedding  costume. Do not get me wrong, I want this. I have never wanted a  tradistional American Wedding&#8230; I have always wanted something  different. Now, the dress and my costume is not the only reason for the  trip. We would also go to get the table cloths (pure silk in peacock  pattern) and also the wedding gifts given to the guests&#8230; So, not only  do we pay 2k per person flight and around 1.5k for gifts, dress, and  other things while we are there. She has also moved the date of the  wedding&#8230; To 2010! Because her brother is getting married in 2009 and  you can not have a brother and sister marry in the same year. But a  sister and a sister or a brother and a brother are ok to marry in the  same year. I am not happy with it, yet, I am happy with making her  happy.Thus, I agreed. So, I will spend the extra 6k to do as she  wishes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The last post I made is not correct. For one Vanna pointed out  (again) that I can not spell. Is that not the worst thing you have ever  heard??? English is her second Lang and she is correcting my spelling&#8230;  Yet, alas, she is correct. I have never being able to spell. I remember  wishing I could be sick every Friday in Elem. School, because those  were Spelling Test days. And I would ALWAYS get an F&#8230; But anyway, back  to the topic at hand. I was wrong about not wanting to go to the  friends house for New Years Eve. She cooked Greens, Mac &amp; Cheese,  and her sister made Polish Meatballs which were fantastic. And I really  did have a good time. I am not one to drink that much, only started  drinking a year and 2 months ago, and I did not drink New Years Eve  either. Yet, I did have a sip or two on New Years Day. The party was  really fun. We talked played &#8220;Spoons&#8221; and had a really good time. Vanna  and I kissed at the stroke of midnight, and I could feel her love for  me. Even though I did not let her know it. <img src='http://sirage.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  But anyway, the lesson  that was learned from this is that you never know<br />
what to expect,  even from those that never fail to amaze you or do fail. Life is a  circle, yet sometimes it can stray in a straight line.</p>
<p>Happy New  Year</p>
<p>Always,</p>
<p>Sir AGE</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, we are going to a friends house that just moved to Charlotte from  Salisbury. She has 5 or 6 kids and is a working mother. Vanna Made fried  rice, and Chicken kuri. If that is how it is spelled. We are going to  there new place for New Years Eve and I personally do not want to go. It  is not because I do not get along with this person. It is just that I  do not like putting on a face for some people. Some treat you nicely and  others treat you like a maid or butler. I mean people we are all humans  and we like to be treated equally. Anyway, she is calling for me to get  ready and dressed. So I shall have to finish this at a later date&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Where to start telling a story about a year in the life of someone. Some would say from the start. Others might say in the middle and a few may say at the end. I say just start where your heart wishes. Listen to yourself explain the events of that year, and let the words flow from your lips or finger tips. Where I start is for you to figure out. Join me in our journey as a couple and see how we brings two cultures into one.</p>
<p>My friend and I were walking at night like we loved to do. The air was calm and misty. Today was a special day for us we had an extra walker. She decided at the last min to come walking with me and Anthony. We were talking about things to come and what we were going to do that weekend. As we were concluding our walk about a mile from my apartment the extra walkers phone rang. Andrea (the extra walker) answered it. &#8220;Hello?&#8221; &#8220;Oh hey NoNo How are you doing?&#8221; I asked who NoNo was and they explained to me that she was a friend that had moved to another part of North Carolina and that they did not get to see her that much. Me being silly as I am asked to talk to this new person. People interest me in strange ways. I like to talk to anyone new and learn as much as I can about them. So Andrea handed me the phone and that is where it began. I asked Anthony and Andrea what she was. Meaning what her nationality was. Because by the way she sounded she was neither white or black. Well, it turned out my soul-mate is yellow.</p>

East" width="169" height="210" /></a>Where to Start&#8230;</p>
<p>As always in my culture ladies come first. Yet in hers men are always  first.</p>
<p>His Story&#8230;</p>
<p>Written in my own words&#8230;</p>
<p>I started out in the small town of <a class="zem_slink" title="Bluefield, West Virginia" rel="homepage" href="http://www.cityofbluefield.com">Bluefield</a>, West Virginia. In 1985 I was born to Noleta and Gary East. I was a 7lb 10oz bundle of  joy. My earliest memory is of myself in my Grandmothers living room  being held by a relative, looking up and around the room as all eyes  feel on me. I remember nothing more about my early years. Around the age  of 1&amp;1/2 my Mother and Father divorced. My sister Heather and I  stayed with our mother. Heather, well that is another story of its own.  She is my only full blooded sister. She is 5 years my senior. I also  have 3 other sisters which I will blog about later.</p>
<p>Well, at the age of 3 my mother had found the new love of her life  Carl (Slick). They married and moved into a 3 bedroom 1 bathroom house  in Bluefield. Slick was in the Army and was soon deployed overseas.  Thus, the U.S. Army brought my family to Germany. I remember going  downtown and getting the best cheese bread in the world and seeing the  statues standing there motionless in time. I also remember when we  bought our dog Dingo. He was purchased from a breeder that still sends  us Christmas cards today. He was a watwiler, full blooded and beautiful.  I can still see it today, me, Heather and my mother running in the  field with Dingo, us laughing and loving every moment.</p>
<p>At the age of 5 I moved back to the U.S. to another small town,  Lexington, Kentucky. Where most of my fonder childhood memories come  from. There I met my first love Sabina. She was a German girl that moved  to the states with her father who was also in the Army. We were both  stationed at the Blue Grass Army Depot in Lexington. There were about 10  kids on the entire base and we all knew it like we had lived there all  our lives. We rode our bikes up and down the streets, past the storage  buildings and by the commissary. Down past the summer pavilion and  across the bridge on the lake. My mother who was a civilian worker on  the base allowed us to play in her office, which was connected to the  rec room. We would play air hockey and hide and seek, and school every  once and a while. Derrick was my best friend and we were inseparable.  Until the day came when I was 9 or 10 when once again the Army uprooted  me from the home I had come to know and love and moved us to PA. Shortly  after moving to PA my Mother and Slick divorced. Which in turn shook my  small world again.</p>
<p>We moved home to WV back to the small house we had bought when I was  3. From there I developed new friendships and built a new life for  myself. I went to school at the smallest elementary school I had ever  seen. Only about 80 children in the entire school. And around 15 in my  class. I draw a blank from 5th grade until 7th grade. In 7th grade I  join the school band and I met my new and still best friend. Anthony  Akers. A strange kid he was and is. But the love he has in his heart  will, I hope, stay long into his elderly years.</p>
<p>I will not spend much time on the details of middle school or high  school. Just to say I graduated. But I learned many life lessons from  those lonely halls of Bluefield High. I learned that everyone is  different and have different morals, customs, gods, and thoughts. That  wisdom should always come before everything else. And that you both men  and women should express yourself every chance you get. Because life is  short and before you know it you will be looking back at your past and  trying to remember what you did to get this far. That is something I do  not wish to forget.</p>
<p>21st birthday. Well, how shall I put this. I was living in NC and  Anthony and Brittany came to celebrate with me. Brittany is an  ex-girlfriend of mine and is a good woman. To not spend so much time on  this part of my life either since I have rambled on enough I will say  that my 21st birthday did not turn out well. We went to a restaurant I  did not like, we did the things that I did not want to do, and I watched  as my ex and her new boyfriend lived it up on my 21st birthday. But as I  look back I see that I was selfish and that this world does not revolve  around one person.</p>
<p>To cut this short since I am writing what should be blog-ed I am now  24 and living in NC with a wonderful woman that I am happy to call the  love of my life. She is my soul mate. I do not know if God set us on the  same path or as she believes we are souls that were once together in a  past life and in this life we have found each other again to rekindle  that lost love of years ago. Hers sounds more romantic, I will not lie.  But this site will show the world that two different people, with  different beliefs and gods, with two different types of personality and  family&#8217;s, two different worlds. Can come together as one life and share  one goal. To survive.</p>
