Big, Beautiful, Tasteless California Oranges

Christmas 2008

With any luck, by next year,
I'll be going with one of these guys
...
But for now let me say
Without hope or agenda,
Just because it's Christmas -
(and at Christmas you tell the truth)

To me, you are perfect

And my wasted heart will love you
Until you look like this.
...
Merry Christmas.

Jo, I don't know what you're talking about. But it's intriguing.
(And I love Christmas!)

I no longer needed a reason for my existence, just a reason to live. And imagination, free will, love, humor, fun, music, sports, beer and pizza are all good enough reasons for living.
