The intellectual equivalent of a ham sandwich.

The Pedantic Poem

It’s Valentine’s and I’m feeling romantic
So I want to write you a simple poem to say how I feel – without big words like pedantic

We go together like a fat guy and bacon
And unless I’m mistaken
Our love is deeper than a pot heads desire for Fritos
Do you get the full effect of my affection in this prose?

We’re a better team than alcohol and karaoke
There’s nothing better than you and me

We’re more impressive than that steam that rises off bald black football players heads during cold games
To be near you, with you and around you are my only aims

We’re the total opposite of walking to a job interview in a fancy new suit and having a bird crap on your head
You’re the last thought i have before I go to bed

Our love is stronger than a scary con on steroids
I like you so much I’d rather listen to you talk about work than judge people in the tabloids

We fit together better than a sports announcer and mind-numbing amounts of repetition
Doe-eyed, gooey-eyed, mumbling, drooling and grinning like an idiot is my condition

Are you tracking like a VCR?
Romance is wherever you and I are

*

Happy Valentine’s everybody!
Enjoy some pictures from Anna and I hitting up the San Francisco Valentine’s day pillow fight last year!

An Ode to My Afternoon-Food-Coma-Ideal-Life-Daydream of Traveling the World

From time to time you have to make a sacrifice
And they’re always something you’d rather not sacrifice
Like not buying your favorite high-tech device
Yes, sure, that’s what makes it a sacrifice
If you didn’t want it/like it/NEED it – it wouldn’t be a sacrifice
But listen close – here’s my advice
Live a life full of stupid, short-sighted vice
All you have to do … is sacrifice … sacrifice

De Jour of the Week (2/4/10)

A poem to my new paycheck – Texas’ taxes are lower than California taxes.

Helloooo Beautiful!

Just LOOK at you!
(And I can’t wait to meet your friends, too!)
I’m so happy I don’t even know what to do!

You’re gorgeous, you’re beautiful, you’re wonderful!
You light the fire in my very soul!
With you I realize before something was incomplete … and now it is whole.

What will we do, now that we’re together?
We’ll do something great – it’s not a question of if or whether.
I’ll be flying to Arizona, San Francisco, and wherever!

You make my heart sing
With the promise of video games you’ll bring
And pointless crap that two weeks later I’ll look at and say, ‘what the hell was I thinking?’

Oh yes, you and I, we’ll get along swimmingly
Ideas for things for us to do come to me far too easily
Just wait til summer and then … you’ll … see …

Texas. You tricky ho-bag.
My plan has hit a little snag.
My electricity bill will be WAY more here – in fact – my bill will be exactly as much as my pay increase so it all comes out even … what a misleading roller-coaster drag.
