Good old hide and seek It's the perfect game for when you want to catch a break from bad weathers. The human mind has a curious habit of hiding things. Some of us hide things better than others. We hide from the police. We hide from our friends. We hi…

We invited a friend to tell us more about FckFrg. What is FckFrg? FckFrg is a Frg word that means “fuck the Frg”. It is a tongue-in-cheek term used to describe a person who is anti-Frg, and has a strong dislike for the Frg culture. Also, FckFrg is a…
A box in my kitchen. The kitchen was the heart of our home. For over twenty years, it was where we gathered for meals. It was the place we ate and relaxed. It was the place we loved. But, over time, we did more. The house became an office, I got busy.…

We played "One Word Poetry" A rhymeless poem can be read in any order. For example, it can start with the first word, or it can start with the last word. It can also be read in a circular manner, or in a linear manner. So, this was not a "real" poem,…
Night visions. We sang along. A simple tune, with a refrain. But the words were good. I'd never heard them before, but they fit perfectly. They felt good on my skin. I started singing along. The song grew. The song filled my heart. The song filled my l…
FckFrg's lesson on sound continuity and dad's try outs. The thing that struck me most about this is how little things were happening in it. There was just silence. And I like that. What I enjoyed was the silence. I like the fact that this was made by s…
He said it is about time. "Now that you are out of jail. Now that I can truly have you as mine, for eternity. We can be together forever," the woman, whose identity is being withheld by police, is heard saying in a phone call with a man at a strip clu…

Dealing with color movement we forgot time. 1. I was not expecting this to happen. 2. I’m in love with how this looks. I have a lot of faith in this. 3. This is my favorite. I like the warmth of the wall. 4. I think I like the look of this the most. …
Dad said it is almost always a mismatch but that's ok. It means the ankle is still broken. The old saying is "Flexibility is the key to success" - however, I don't believe that is always true. If you have ever tried to do a forward roll and were unable…
