i love movies. But the other day i was sitting at the table with a group of guys and we spoke about movies for an hour and a half. It was an event so i felt kinda trapped in the seat i was in at the restaurant. And my head wanted to explode, because as much as i love movies, speaking about them for an hour and a half [in which everyone was pretty much [...]
So one of my new favourite virtual [for now] friends, Dante, whose incredible Micropoetry can be found over at Original Dante, challenged me to a duel [well kinda, cos he already pulled his trigger in his own fight] which i had already kinda done in someone's comment section, but there is no verifiable proof, so i decided to take him up on it... OD is the reason i got interested in, and brave enough to [...]

i am not a big fan of tradition whose only purpose in life is "we did it this way last time" last nite, the beautiful Val and i celebrated Christmas eve with a few of our neighbors from Potter street where we have lived the last 19 months and are 5 days away from leaving... it was a fitting end to have a house full of good food, laughter and excited wife squeals and dances [...]

It is a very exciting project and both Valerie and [...]

aka "Frankly my dear, i don't gif!"... i was asked the question: are animated GIFs the stuff of junior high-school hijinks or, are they the political cartoons of the new millenium? What do you think? i think this angel shooting an arrow into a pink butt might be significant in helping us come up with an answer to this one... if you have to ask me my professional opinion [and by "professional opinion" i mean [...]
i am thankful that i get to journey through the adventure of a life to the full life with this beautiful lady, my wife Valerie aka tbV [the beautiful Val] and as i always say, 'Marriage to the right person is one of the most wonderful things in the world.' hold my hand... walk with me...

when i saw the theme for this week's challenge my immediate thought was this picture of my youngest sister Dawn [one of my most favourite people in the world] hanging out with some kids in Umtata [South Africa] on this missions trip we did and the idea of bringing renewal through the simple act of love and friendship and touch and story-telling... let the little children come unto me... the second one that [...]
