Too Bad Do you ever wonder about me? I guess we weren't meant to be? Right. I made you happy, you made me happy. We had lots of precious moments and good times, maybe on more of your dimes, but together. We came together. Remember? I may have been down, working things out, you could have hung in there with me, but you didn't. Maybe some people didn't think I was right for you, your people didn't betray me, you did. Here I am just a few years later, things are working out. Own a house, married, two adult kids, a profession, own my own business and a future. My future didn't depend on you, it included you. You missed that. My passion is my strength. It's an expression of who I am. It's stuck on me like glue, too bad it's not you.

ODE TO A 64 Your front seats are tattered, your Fisher Body spotted with rust, your underdash padding turning to dust You drip a little oil, from the line burn a little smoke but your 429 has a most powerful stroke Your carpet is losing to wear, your trunk a mildew mess You're quite a site I must confess. Your're the last of the big fins with a ton of shiney, loudly shaped chrome and an AmFm guaranteed to sing to you all the way home. Nearly twenty feet of all American Pride, smoothly floating, except when docked for refueling. I gotta admit you still turn heads, no matter where we go they're looking at you and as long as we're together I'll see that they always do.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEAN Once upon a garbonzo bean a drop of blue cheese was seen soon both were trapped by tongue and teeth between and to beans dismay, both were on to stomach through throats freeway where bile and acid attempted to end beans stay through duodenum bean passed totally dissolved and mashed and in the intestines bean gassed but beans tiny remains got involved in bowels movement and through the rectum they went butt cast them out for being different they landed in water and hoped to remain but toilet knew their game and they were flushed away with no pain their friendship dissolved and bean was a loner again so in with sewage bean drifted until through the pipes he was sifted by joining sludge bean was gifted because bean and sludge were given away then mixed in the soil by hoe that day where bean has rooted and remains free today.

TO MY DEAR AND SWEAT FRIEND The wax of the candles melts boldly on as the incoming gusts of wind are swept away and yesterday is gone. Only shadows remain at the base of light changing shape as they dance in and out of night Love like burning wax keeps internal heat alive for intense smoking moments when gracefully match and flint meet. Their sparks ignite heat sources of lively yellow and hot blue friendship flames which flicker for tomorrow’s unfamiliar courses. And as the guiding light descends down the wick shadows get shorter and the flames of life burn too quick. Mike

(Wow, I wish I wrote this:) I'm always falling down the same hill, bamboo punturing my skin, but nothing comes bleeding out, just like the waterfall I'm drowning in! Two feet below the surface I can still make out your face. And maybe if I could just reach you, I could leave this place. Trent Resne

Thanks Jordan for the following drawing:
Lindsay draw the following two selections:

Surrender Surrender is a volitional act Leaping to the immolation Arms outstretched, head thrown back And twisting in it, blackened and exalted Burning smaller, intense and hotter A collapsed star, self-immolated Alone in that moment, before the consummation Or the spurning, all has exploded outward And inwardly, a divine detonation And so is the only human sacrifice thrown Into the possible space, in hopes of collision A falling, self-propelled, a wild unknowing.

Steve Wellman's Song Lyrics:

This is so great too: The Rules According to Men These are our rules! Please note ... they are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE ! 1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done, NOT BOTH. If you already know best how to do it, just do it YOURSELF. 1. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you. 1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing" we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle. 1. Do not ask us what we are thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as work, sports, the shotgun formation and NASCAR. 1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days. 1. If something we said can be intrepreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one. 1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. 1. Learn to work the toilet seat, you're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. 1. Birthdays, Holidays, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present yet again. 1. Sometimes, we are NOT thinking about YOU. Live with it. 1. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. 1. Shopping is NOT a SPORT, and no we are never going to think of it that way. 1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work. Strong hints do not work. Obvious hints do not work. Just say it!! 1. We don't remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand. 1. Most guys own three pairs of shoes- tops. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress? 1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question! 1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for! 1. A headache that lasts 17 months is a problem, see a DOCTOR. 1. Check your oil! Please. 1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys. 1. Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway, it's genetic. (There's even are article in Discover Magazine about this.) 1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials. 1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we. 1. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your girlfriends. 1. All men see in only 16 colors, likes Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve or taupe are! 1. I'm in shape- ROUND is a shape.

I couldn't help but laugh at this one: 1. WHY DO MEN BECOME SMARTER DURING SEX? (because they are plugged into a genius) 2. WHY DON'T WOMEN BLINK DURING FOREPLAY? (they don't have enough time) 3. WHY DOES IT TAKE 1 MILLION SPERM TO FERTILIZE ONE EGG? (They don't stop for directions) 4. WHY DID GOD PUT MEN ON EARTH? (because a vibrator can't mow the lawn) 5. WHY DON'T WOMEN HAVE MEN'S BRAINS? (because they don't have penises to put them in) 6. WHAT DO ELECTRIC TRAINS AND BREASTS HAVE IN COMMON? (They're intended for children but men usually end up playing with them) 7. WHY DO MEN SNORE WHEN THEY LIE ON THEIR BACKS? (because their balls fall over their assholes and they vapor lock) 8. WHY DO MEN MASTURBATE? (it is sex with someone they love) 9. WHY WERE MEN GIVEN LARGER BRIANS THAN DOGS? (So they won't hump women's legs at cocktail parties) 10. WHY DID GOD MAKE MEN BEFORE WOMEN? (you need a rough draft before you make a final copy) 11. WHY IS A MAN'S PEE YELLOW AND HIS SPERM WHITE? (so he can tell if he's coming or going) 12. HOW MANY MEN DOES IT TAKE TO PUT A TOILET SEAT DOWN? (nobody knows, since it has never happened) 13. ARGUMENTS: A women has the last word in any argument. (Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument)
