Jacob and Andy

This is the story of Jacob and Andy, but you might be better off calling them nerdy and randy! That is to say: of course they both are both. No better. No worse. Have you heard about the word? Nerd and nerd, this couple's the word.

I remember our first time at make haven, my beard was red, long and unshaven. Under fluorescent lights we rocked out to Dixit, no one cared who won as we played it (except Jacob). There was a moment where Andy's face said nothing but "I want, I like!" That was a random day when she saw me playing Counterstrike. Granted, she's lived most her life living in a gangster's paradise. Or rolling strong with some bluffer's dice.

The other nerd helped me with transistors, I suppose he is therefore quite the assister. And when he dances he loves to gallop as he prances. Maybe I made that bit up, but he certainly moves with a solid strut.

Being a nerd, in case you didn't realize, is pretty much the best, and if you think otherwise, then you're just like all the rest.

These nerds... I owe 'em. Scrawl words, love poems.

Dallas's Party

It's the time of year to give back. So reach on into your santa sack. In this absence of greed, others can feed! You've done what you can: with every donated can. This is about giving, not taking. This holiday is yours for the making! ...alongside gingerbread houses a baking. Inside real houses with tact. Sold by the best, that's a fact.

Can we build a christmas tree? Just take a gander and see! It makes me want to sing! I think I just heard a sleigh bell ring!

GRE Words

When would an opprobrium truly be appropriate? Are onlookers oblivious and obviously obstinate? How about an approbation appropriated by the masses? Would such vindication tacitly pave a process? Some authorities seem apocryphal or similarly awful, so we must be circumspect for what is rightly lawful. It is with probity by which we must proceed, and must not let fallacious corroboration cause us to concede.

Big New Haven Night

Here's to having a big night, a meal in New Haven prepared just right. Friends, family, and food by the score! Music, games, stories and more. We'll have chats, we'll have talks, we'll take time, we'll take walks. We'll retire and recline after we sup, after we dine when we meet up.

Overcoming

Sustainable thoughts.
Our practical goals.
What ever is sought.
Is tangibly told.

Dreams come true
one day at a time.
Honest and shrewd.
Methodical climb.

Whenever we fall,
we have to get up.
We may not be tall.
We may lack that luck.

So we keep striving.
Push, walk, then run.
Soon we'll be thriving
like the rising sun...

Today is dark.
Yesterday: dreary.
Now disembark:
weak and weary.

Face the day,
face the night.
Hear me say:
face your fright.

Stay steady.
Keep on task.
Be ready.
This too shall pass.

Bonnie 2

I can only imagine what it's like to live with a chef and a potential body gaurd who could serve you your death. There's this girl who calls me muffin, or, rather, a woman, and a tough one. 

Once, I blanketed her while sleeping, but she totally knew I was there, and if I didn't know her, she might guess me as creeping and I would surely beware!

She would never roughen me up, unless I went to ask. Then she'd toughen me up, and complete her task. I have great respect for her, after all, she could woop my ass!

She could put my head on a platter, and make it dammed delicious. Some spices here, some garlic there, and I'd be nutritious.

But, that would never happen to me, because I'm on her good side. And it's there with glee that I happily reside, with Bonnie the beast we'll feast with pride.

Kevin Mcguire

If man is 5. And the devil is 6.

Then that must make you Kevin.

Long silky straight brown hair.

With skin so light and fair.

Ha! Yeah right!

There's a tatoo there, there, there, and there.

And they're visibly awe inspiring.

Epically optic, optically epic. Raw perspiring.

Ever been 6 months under water?

Sliced a pig just after the slaughter?

Rocked a baseline while on both knees?

Collected skulls as your trophies?

Cooked blood and baked the slime?

Licked both your lips at the same time?

There isn't anything quite so metal as a forked tongue at work, except maybe listening to metal with spiked ears alert...

You're the strong and silent type,

which comes with baseline confidence.

You're ripped, you're real, you're ripe.

Keep following through due diligence.

Kung fu! Chop, kick, punch!

Chef fu! Chop, slice, lunch!

Seth's Scavenger Hunt

Clues and locations?

Locations. And clues!

Quitters don’t win

...and winners won’t lose.

Don’t be discouraged.

This isn’t a test!

Time is ticking. tic tic tic

And we don’t mean to be rude.

Let’s start walking.

But this’ll get much more lewd. 

--

Thank you, thank you all for coming.
I beg your ears, I must beseech.
And if you’ll have our gracious pardon, Please listen closely to our ending speech.

We’ve been lovely.

But you’re the best.

Does anyone disagree?

That does attest.

You outsmarted riddles, you’re all so clever!
It was worthwhile
in this group endeavor.

This place is a drag,
but that’s just for show. Get watching, get smirking. Let your “feelings” grow! 

An Open Heart

There are so many wounds time does not heal.
And while we understand them logically,
their pain is still bleeding, open and real.
We will have to endure and remember.
Impossible outlooks just seem surreal.
An open heart is a double-edged sword.
Sadness and gladness, the ranges we feel.
