The Rise and Fall of Seantonio Banderas

With a writing speed that rivals only that of George R.R. Martin's, I've fallen a year behind on my blog!  Writing this blog has been a tumultuous endeavor as it highlights one of the worst milestones of my life and has forced me to face some hard facts.  With twenty four winters passing since my last modeling gig and a hairline that's receding faster than the polar ice caps,  I've had to accept that I'm only better looking than most people now.  And that's quite humbling.    One day you're turning heads, the next your turning thirty.  I'm an old man now, and this is my story...

Instead of experiencing a traditional Thanksgiving that involves unbuckling your pants to make room for dessert, watching football, and drinking beer, Sarah decided to surprise me with a trip to Minnesota for the holiday weekend so we could watch some basketball.  I hadn't been to Minnesota in over a decade, so I was pretty impressed by how awesome Minneapolis and St. Paul were.  The public transport is legit, with direct routes from the airport to both downtowns, as well as an expansive indoor skywalk that connects all major buildings in downtown Minneapolis.

Outside of the game, we didn't have any set plans, so we mostly just wandered around and drank beer since there are microbreweries everywhere.  I don't know if the excessive visiting of said microbreweries or an overwhelming quantity of MSG impacted my judgment, but I can definitively say that St. Paul has the best Thai food in America.  We also took advantage the Black Friday sales to purchase the Oregon Trail card game.  However, this led me down an unfortunate path brimming with broken bones, dead oxen, and dysentery.  No one survives the trail unscathed.

The T-Wolf on the monitor is howling at a full moon with shocking similarity to the way Sarah howls at a very different, but equally majestic full moon that hangs above our mantle....

When a man looks at this, he sees a giant cherry on a spoon.  When a woman looks at this, she sees me lying in the spoon with a stream of hot fudge cascading down my perfect body.  And quite frankly, you women have incredible taste.

If you look closely, you can see that this wolf is made entirely out of recycled materials.  Pretty impressive!

After spending Thanksgiving in Minnesota, we decided to do Christmas in K.C. and New Year's in New England.  Being a cheap bastard in the year prior, I convinced Sarah to hold out until January to buy a Christmas tree so we could get one for 80% off when stores were dumping their excess supply.  And that folks is how you get a $400 tree for $80 dollars.  It was also during Christmas that I decided to supplement Josh's robe life, during which he regularly roamed around our house in a plush woman's robe, with a fake silk kimono.  I figured he could at least look elegant when displaying the lower two-thirds of his thighs.

After Christmas we flew to Sarah's parents in Connecticut so we could attend our friends' wedding (Congrats Jackie and Tyler!) and then braved a New England Patriots game on New Year's Eve.  Unfortunately for (Or maybe fortunately for) Sarah's mother, she was feeling under the weather and therefore could not be destroyed by it.  Sarah's dad, however,  got the pleasure of braving the coldest regular season game in Patriot's history with us.  Nothing beats a negative two degree day with gusty winds at Gillette Stadium.  

Thankfully the staff provided everyone with hand warmers as they entered, which I promptly shoved down my socks so I didn't lose a toe to frostbite.  Sarah's father and I proved men are the weaker sex, displaying a keen eagerness to leave the game at halftime to escape the cold.  Sarah showed no sympathy when telling us to man up, because we weren't leaving until the end of the third quarter at the earliest even though the score was 21-3.  At some point during that 15 minute quarter that seemed to last 3 hours, I questioned whether or not I should pee myself for the immediate warmth, knowing that it would eventually freeze and leave me even colder.  I'm not proud of what happened next...

Our only promise of warmth emanated from the stadium speakers, where the sound guy was sitting in a heated booth and blaring Beach Boys and songs about heat waves.  Meanwhile the hawkers were screaming out, "ICE COLD BEER!", as if that  somehow sounded appealing.  It was freezing, I was surrounded by Patriots fans, and I couldn't even drink because our beers froze within seconds of being poured.   It was one of the worst days of my life.  It was one of Sarah's best.  Why do these damn Patriots fans always come out on top?!?!!

First christmas in the house!!!  

Since Josh is our surrogate child, we let him pick out his stocking... And then Santa filled it with Batman underwear

This is the spot where I had to sit and listen to Sarah talk about how handsome Julian Edelman is.  Did I mention how terrible this day was?

Winter continued to be rough in Kansas City upon our return, with the coldest January on record in over 100 years.   See, some winds of winter exist (GoT nerds get it :))...   Sarah decided to rescue me from the cold and take me back to Mexico for my birthday.  Were her motives sincere?  Or did she just want to see my thirty year old skin dry out and wrinkle in the Mexican sun like some sort of disgusting raisin?  Obviously she was pleased I was getting to her age after I spent months mocking her for being in her thirties whilst I was still in my twenties.  And that's exactly why I couldn't trust her.

We started our journey by meeting my brother Bryn, as well as our friends Martha and Aaron in Mexico City and then made our way to Palenque, an ancient Mayan city in Chiapas, Mexico.  I'm proud to say that this time we made the next leg of our flight, unlike our failed attempt to go to Honduras!  One of my other fifty brothers, Josh, also decided to take time out of his incredibly packed schedule as an aimless drifter to meet us down there.  Between Bryn quitting his job to bum around Mexico for several months, me taking two years off work, and Josh not having a real job since Y2K, we Lowe bros have really shown this world how to just barely scrape by.  It's not easy being so damn ambitious.  Do you have any idea how hard it is to achieve so little?

In order to get to Palenque, we first had to fly into a town called Villahermosa and then drive a few hours.  We arrived pretty late, so we decided to stay in Villahermosa for the night before continuing our journey.  For a total of $20, we got a two bed apartment that slept all 6 of us, plus a driver that met us at the airport so we could follow him in our rental car.  For those of you that have never driven in Mexico, you probably have no idea how impossible it is to park a car, let alone an SUV.  We basically had to parallel park into a spot that was 4 inches longer than our vehicle.  And that spot was not between two cars, but between two buildings.  After several minutes of failed attempts, our Airbnb host decided to save us and somehow maneuvered into that spot like it was no big deal.  I don't even understand the science of how it was possible, but then again I'm Asian and therefore a terrible driver.

Upon leaving Villahermosa the next morning, we headed to our jungle-laden Airbnb, which was about halfway to Palenque.  Along the way, we stopped to meet the Airbnb host at a gas station so we could tail him to the villa since it's not exactly on google maps.  Eventually we turned off the highway for a little gravel travel, which eventually turned into stretches of road that were more pothole than road.  After passing through a few villages, we stopped at a small clearing and hopped into our hosts 4x4 pick up truck.  We then spent then next twenty minutes driving along a muddy, make shift road, stopping only to open barbwire gates to pass through.  But alas, we came upon another clearing and everything became very clear indeed.  Paradise was waiting.

I mean a birthday trip to hang out in a jungle paradise with private waterfalls and ancient ruins.  I pretty much have the worst girlfriend ever.  She like, doesn't even get me.

Do you know what to call a horse that lives next door? A neigh-bor....  Bahaha Laffy Taffy strikes again!!!

Sometimes I like to put on a little Ryan Cabrera and just watch the birds.  You know, just normal dude stuff.

Lean with it, rock with it, when we gonna stop with it? Lyrics that mean nothing, we were gifted with thought.  Is it time to move our feet to an introspective beat? It ain't the speakers that bombard, it's our hearts that make the beat.

As you can tell from the photos, it really wasn't that beautiful at all.  It was pretty much the worst Airbnb I've ever stayed at.  Like, we didn't even decide to just spend an entire day there without leaving cus it was so amazing.  I can't even describe to you how ridiculously awesome this place was.  We had private access to a multi-tiered waterfall where we could hang out in pools above the rapids.  We could take kayaks out into the river, ride horses for free, hike around the forest, chill out in hammocks and outdoor beds, or just drink beer and relax in the house.  Sarah literally thought she might cry because it was so beautiful.

The owner says the long term plan is to turn the property into a resort with the main house serving larger groups and smaller cabanas holding up to four people each.  Luckily we got in while it's still just a house along the river, because having everything to ourselves was amazing.  Having a location in the middle of nowhere also has one of my favorite perks in the world: A night sky free of light pollution.  There's nothing like staring into the sky that's actually full of stars.  It's crazy to think that while my goal of seven continents is ambitious now, someday people will try to get to multiple planets.  Who even knows what's in that crazy sky of ours.

We had stocked up on groceries before arriving, so we (Mostly Martha) were able to cook big group dinners, play card games, have a lot of laughs, and just enjoy life.  It was pretty much as perfect a place to hang out as you could ever ask for.  Aaron and Bryn were able to get some ridiculous drone footage over the waterfalls and I was able to bum Aaron's camera lens to take some photos of the night sky.  I don't know how they found this place, but I'm definitely grateful to have such awesome friends and family.  

I am not your rolling wheels, I am the highway.  I am not your carpet ride, I am the sky.  I am not your blowing wind, I am the lightning.  I am not your autumn moon, I am the night. The night......

So many foreign worlds, so many to behold.  So many for us, so ready for us....

We eventually dragged ourselves away from our little slice of paradise to go visit the ancient Mayan ruins.  Bryn got the pleasure of driving the entire trip, which was a pretty terrible draw considering how bad the roads were, but we all appreciated it!!!!  The ruins in Palenque are quite interesting because they aren't fully excavated.  The central part of the historic city is easily accessible, but the majority of surrounding ruins are still buried in the jungle (Though some are visible along the many hiking trails).

We also got the pleasure of hearing the street peddlers blow into wooden jaguar heads that simulate the great cat's roar.  There's nothing like taking back to back international travels to the same country, so you can experience the same cheap souvenirs again!! RRRAAARRRR!  The true highlight of my journey, however, was finding the shrine of Lord Serpent Jaguar.  Can you imagine living in such a time when you could have addressed me as Lord Gorilla Puffin with a straight face?   After bumming around the ruins for a few hours, we made our move to get back to the Airbnb before nightfall, since driving on pot filled roads in the dark didn't sound appealing.

You know that house is haunted

If we're not too careful, maybe we can all get lost....

These monkeys own an entire forest.  I will spend years paying off my mortgage.  Which species is smarter again?

I think most individuals start to feel a little older once they turn thirty, but to be honest, I don't think that's a bad thing.  You're twenties are for screwing up and figuring out who you are, your thirties are for becoming an adult...and paying off all the debts you accrued in your twenties :).  Our next few adventures were domestic, with a visit from some English lads and a long weekend in Philly and DC.  There was also a misinterpretation of the word 'probably' that led to Sarah becoming pregnant, but that's a story for another blog....

Sarah and Sean's Sensational Stockpile of Snappy Snaps

There's a reason they call me the Asian Tom Selleck.  My mustache is so damn sexy.  I practically had to beat the ladies off with a stick.  

Ready. Steady. Yeti.

I told Sarah that if life is a spoon, I'm the cherry on top...Judging by her face I'm not sure she agrees.

The only two Patriots fans I was willing to tolerate...

It was so cold that color ceased to exist.

You can join the cowards all aboard the outrage train, yeah you can stay afraid...Or you can slit the throat of fear and be brave.  You can scratch that little itch, 'til you're moving like a mother fucker up in this bitch!

You should see life as a means to your triumph!

Or as a means to your napping....

Lowe Bros!  Damn those tall, handsome, muscular bastards. I'm the short, chubby one.  Those jerks took all the Schwarzenegger genes and left me with only the DeVito remnants.

But at the same time, I think it's pretty clear I've mastered the art of seduction...

Don't need no five star reservations, I got spaghetti and a cheap bottle of wine.  Don't need no concert in the city, I got a stereo and the best of Patsy Cline. Ain't go no caviar, no Dom Perignon.  But as far as I can see, I got everything I want.  Cus I've got a roof over my head, the woman I love layin in my bed.  And it's alright, alright.  I've got shoes under my feet, forever in her eyes staring back at me.  And it's alright, alright. Cus I've got all I need and it's alright by me....

This tree legitimately looks like it has legs to walk...

I feel it all, I feel everything.  I felt afraid, but I fought the fear and trembling. Yeah I feel it all, I feel everything.  But I never looked back and now this fear... This fear is trembling!

Something tells me my 30s won't be so bad...

I will not play this out discretely, it is real and unashamed. I am human and I'm terrified, but want it all the same.  Cus I wanna overcome, yeah I want to love someone.  Yeah the heart, the heart, the heart, the heart is a muscle. AND I WANT TO MAKE IT STRONG! Cus the heart, the heart, the heart, the heart is a muscle.  I WANT TO MAKE IT STRONG!

Maine and the Time We Got Stranded in Mexico

Alas, it was summer and we'd been toiling in vain
So Sarah whisked me away for a weekend in Maine
For we are vagabonds and we were built to roam
Though Candice and Eric did let us crash in their home
We arrived late at night to a sky full of stars
And a driveway packed full of friends' cars
We made all our greetings and cracked open some beers
For nothing seals an acquaintance quite like a cheers!

The next morning we left for Acadia National Park
I have rarely seen a landscape so stark
With mountain, forest, ocean, and beach
It's as if it were paradise you were trying to reach
After tiring our bodies, we decided to replenish with a barbecue lunch
I don't think Candice is following her vegan diet, at least that's my hunch!

Maine is home to horror author Stephen King
Who knows what terrors this fog shall bring...

I'm just a man and I know that I'm damned
All the dead seem to know I've been shammed
The tale that began on the night of my birth
Will be done with another turn of the earth
Die if I must, let my bones turn to dust
But I'm lord of this sea and my spirit's robust
So all who sail off this coast ever more
Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore....

That night we rejoiced and I lost drinking game after game
Different drinks, different states, but the results are the same!
The next day I partook in my first lobster boil
I reached for a lobster and tried not to recoil
He squirmed and he fought, then he was dropped in a pot
Sorry little dude, but I'm hungry and you're all that I got!

With only one day left on our trip
We set out to see the Bar Harbor strip
It was also my last day to earn their dog, Watson's, love
He became so enamored, it's like I was sent from above
With affection obtained, twas only a Whoopie Pie I needed to get
So I devoured Maine's signature dessert as the sun did set
And with that our trip to the Northeast came to an end
But vacationing with Candice and Eric; We'd only started that trend...

Turn off your Netflix stream
And see the world as if it's only a dream...

I used to poo my pants as a child
Now I'm grown and I do it in the wild
That has nothing to do with this particular flower
It's just part of my captivating story-telling power

We set out to Honduras for Sarah's 30th Birthday
But our first flight started out with an untimely delay!
By the time we landed, boarding for our next leg had already started
So we ran through Atlanta to catch our plane before it departed!
Eventually we landed at my least favorite airport - Mexico City
Where our mood was about to go from excited to shitty!

Upon deplaning, we set out to meet Candice and Eric at our gate
We'd soon be in Honduras, fulfilling our traveling sate!
But alas, the best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry
And the universe decides it should make a man cry
As we stood waiting, we felt that something wasn't right
It turned out the board was broken and didn't update our flight!

We ran through the airport, desperately fighting time and space
But getting to the new gate was an unwinnable race
For I saw the attendant, heard the words from her face
Our plane had departed, there was nothing left to chase
This is the path of the inveterate traveler
Always battling the Universe, the great unraveler

To make matters worse, the airline lost my checked bag
And cancelled our return flights with a $400 re-activation price tag
I asked them to explain the gate, any story, just give me a version!
But they dropped their eyes and we were met with only aversion
But you can't give into the stress and the fear!
For life is a challenge and you must persevere!

So with pockets full of not pesos, but lint
We contacted one of my eighty brothers that was on a traveling stint
I whipped out my phone and ordered the Mexico add-on plan
Then dialed my bro and exclaimed, "I fucking need you man!"
For through some amazing happenstance or stroke of luck
Mexico City was the absolute best place we could have been stuck
For Bryn had temporarily moved there a few weeks prior
You can't even make this stuff up, not even I'm that good a liar!
You see, you may be stressed, but that's today
Tomorrow stress could go away!

I've written this clever riddle to give my blog some class
So folks - Why don't Churches ever clean their stained glass?
Ummm cus if you removed the stains then everyone could see into Mass!!!
Yup, I literally just pulled that out of my ass

There once was a maze
It was made out of maize
And it really did amaze
It's poems like this that will set the literary world ablaze!!!

Bryn was able to help get us settled whilst we made new plans
And helped ease our pain by flinging us beer cans
Hey maybe replacing Honduras with Mexico wouldn't be so bad!
Besides, if you give us quesadillas and tacos, it's hard to be mad!
Remember in my last blog when Josh, Sarah and I shared a tent?
This time it was on a twin mattress with Bryn and I that Sarah's night was spent
Should I be worried she has now slept with two of my brothers?
She would only sleep with me if I had my druthers!

Candice and Eric elected to sleep on the couch
Twas a much better idea, for that we can vouch
After getting some rest, we were done being still
So we started our adventure atop Chapultepec Hill
The castle there offers magnificent views of the city
And the statues have boobs, yeah I saw me a titty
And for those of you judging, thinking my blog's unrefined
Class is just a word that rich have defined!

That afternoon we grabbed lunch with Bryn's friends, Aaron and Martha
Dangit Martha, the only thing that rhymes with your name is Siddhartha
Who, by the way, was the first Buddhist monk
Yeah, my blog drops sweet knowledge, who'd have thunk!?!
Ok, ok so I cheated a little to make a name rhyme
It's my blog, damnit, and I declare no crime!!!!
After lunch Martha and Bryn also lent us some clothes
Yeah, I wore his undies, but it's ok cus were bros!
This is the life I live damnit, not the one that I chose!!!!

The next day we decided to get out of the city for a wee bit of fun
So we embarked on a journey to the Pyramids of the Moon and the Sun!
The aforementioned sun was ablazing, so I decided to buy some sunglasses
Oh how I haggled, I could have taught everyone classes
3 pairs of low quality knockoffs for only ten dollars
We rocked our Louis Vumon and Roy Bon's like ballers

I guess that she's gone for good.  She don't call me like I thought she would

She went west to chase the sea.  She took my money but she didn't take me

Why go wander into a unknown world?  Stood right here as the cosmos twirled

You want to fight for a cause? Then go out and love someone
Don't stop believing it will be won
Besides you might even get to have some fun....

Missing our flight to Honduras came at no price
For it is happiness that creates paradise

The zealots, from a mountain they will preach

But there is little to no wisdom in what they beseech

As a lowly vagabond, I have a message for you each

To attain all your dreams, you need only reach

After a day of exploring, Bryn, Martha and Aaron met us out for dinner
Can I just say, nothing about Mexican dining will make you thinner
After crushing our meals, we decided we were in need of a churro
Because when eating foreign foods, you need to be thorough!
We finished our evening with some drinks and an investigation
For there were other places in Mexico we wanted to spend our vacation
Ergo, we decided our next day would be our last in Mexico City
Dangit I already rhymed city with titty, what else rhymes and is witty?
I just can't think of anything else, oh what a pity!

But anyways, we spent the day exploring the touristy sites
And filling our bellies with the some fanciful delights
Plus, whilst we were out having fun, Martha was able to track down our bag!
To retrieve it, we just had to go back to the airport and show our luggage tag!
We decided to wait and just grab it the following day
Since we were planning to rent a minivan for our next getaway

Sometimes it hangs over me
I'm not sure who I'm destined to be
I'm not sure what looms above them clouds
But I need not worry about what the skyline shrouds
For though I'm not always the greatest man
Perhaps the universe has a greater plan....

Louis Vuitton's are for those full of avarice
Louis Vumon's are for the cheap and glamorous

Do not let this thing called life go to waste
Be open and give it a taste

Martha, Aaron and Bryn decided to join us on our epic adventure
And Eric took on driving, which was a risky ass venture
We made our way three hours north to an AirBnb in San Miguel de Allende
Our host gave us many recommendations, but only Martha said comprende
Yeah I just cheated another rhyme with some broken Spanish
It's just one of the many things that makes my blog so Manish
But seriously, without Martha we would have been totally lost
I would have ended up in a Mexican prison getting my salad tossed!

Our arrival also meant Sarah and I could finally put on our clothes
Why we didn't keep any of them in a carry on, no one knows
I was most thankful for t-shirts that could cover my sunburnt pecs
For Bryn had supplied me with mostly V-Necks
After getting dressed we headed to the Mercado to grab a meal
And the happiness emanating from Eric was all I could feel
There were rice and beans and delicious things
It was truly a display of what happiness brings

After stuffing our bellies, we went out to explore
And ended up at a bar where we had a beer or four
As we left, a bountiful desire I had to apease
So I gave my woman's butt cheeks a squeeze
I knew it would cause her to turn with delight
But when I saw her face, I felt only fright
For it was Candice, not Sarah who came into sight!!
Ladies, ladies! it was just an innocent caress!!!
There's no reason to put me under duress!!!
It's not as if I tried reaching under her dress!!!

And then everyone decided to laugh at my gaffe
Wondering how I couldn't recognize my better half!
Yeah, I was able to make those idiots think it was just a Seanest mistake
But it's one that I shall, likely with their mother, once again make!
Seriously ladies, you better send your mama a text
And let her know that sweet heinie is next!!!

If only a rich publisher would read my sweet poems
I could own this as the most exquisite of homes!

Do you want someone that drives a fancy car
Or do you want someone who loves you for who you are?
I want someone to be the peanut butter to my jam
I just want someone who loves me for who I am

You're eyes must be covered in wool
If you think a man can truly feel full
When he's face to face with a chocolate skull!

For dinner we thought about what we should make
So we went to a butcher and got what we thought was steak
However, Bryn and I ordered, which was a terrible mistake
For it turns out the meat we purchased was not what we thought
And it was a kilogram of short ribs we bought!

Eric and I spent five hours manning the grill
Trying to impress the ladies with our incredible skill
It only took us two hours to generate a flame
And three hours later, the ribs were raw all the same
Though Eric made a short rib taco and we declared him a winner
Aaron and Martha went out to get the rest of us dinner!

The next morning we went to La Gruda Spa to hang in the grotto
Travel as chaotically as possible then relax a little, that's my motto!
After soothing our souls, we decided to grind down our soles
So we walked into town and decided to reprise our haggling roles
I was able to talk my way into a miniature guitar for only one dollar!
Now I can make accompanying music when I scream and holler!

After everyone witnessed the one man show that I starred in
We finished our day with a trip to El Charco Del Ingenio botanical garden
There were a series of trails that loosely created a loop
So you couldn't get lost even if you wandered from the group
The cactuses were covered with more spiders than I could count
But I max out at seven, so it wasn't necessarily a high amount

Following a long and adventurous day
It was back to the Mercado that our party did stray
Those 25 peso plates are unbelievably good
I'd take them over a Michelin star, you know I would!

If I get you in my sights, you better pray
Cus darling, once your tangled, you're my prey

She's the pizza of my eye, she's what keeping me alive
Without her near me, I would not survive
Someday she'll be the bride, I'll be well groomed
We'll dance and laugh and they'll all swoon
I'll cry a lot and then we'll spoon
Without her in my life I would be doomed

All good trips must come to an end
But what a thirtieth, Sarah did spend!
We missed our flight, but that was alright
Because we still had fun night after night!
Our next few trips were spent in the states
But a trip back to Mexico was written in our fates

For Sarah had booked a surprise trip before we missed our flight to Honduras
So for the second of our thirtieths, Mexico would once again endure us
She thought it would be a new country to explore
Instead we were headed back there once more!
It's very peculiar how life works out that way
But that's a blog for another day....

Well except for a few times, but that was just gas

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
Feathered canyon's everywhere
I've look at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusions, I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy, dancing way that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
And that's all there really is to say...

SAY YES TO LIFE!

So if you're ever up there, give one a try!

As Candice strolls through the garden
Eric awaits her to beg his pardon

You can think of all that chaos can bring
Or you can just be a dude, sitting on a swing
For it is only your fear that should feel afraid
As it is from lions, that you were made

After being too handsy upon leaving the bar
I could only gaze at Candice from afar

Your body called, it's got vital signs.
So let's live outside those safe ole' lines.
Yeah, no one's dying at your age
And we're aren't living in a cage.
 Yeah we may fail, but we'll still try
For we aren't laying down to die!

There's a mountain above
That I'm dreaming of
  If you need me
You know where I'll be..

Yeah I'll be riding shotgun
Underneath the hot sun
Feeling like a someone

Life never tasted so sweet
As our 5 hour grilled, yet undercooked meat!

As the bullied little brother, I now feel great joy
Because henceforth I get to call Bryn: Butterfly Boy!!!

It's not a bad time, time spent with you
There's long flights and an ever changing view
And we never have to talk again, or make another rendezvous
But since you're putting up with me, here's another toast just to you
So let's keep our dance off the beat
And mozy on together, cus good times are on repeat

To Aaron and Martha who saved our skin!
And kept our luggage from ending up in a bin!

I tell you now that life is just a maze
And it spirals out in many ways
But  your full of life, not full of greys
So make the most of all your days

I could think about all the things I should do
But I just want to waste my time with you :)
