Hi Brendan... Thanks. I think people should try harder like you said... Totally agree there. Far too many of us forget and stop doing the things we use to do while dating... Wouldn't it be nice if relationship looks after itself and we can just carry on living the way we did while we were single.

I wrote this poem in response to a long conversation I had on Sunday with a group of ladies... Mostly talked women's wishes... Most yearn for more quality time...being surprised once in awhile would be lovely, acts of service, being touched, supported and encouraged and shaven faces ha ha ha! Surprisingly enough everyone would love to have a clean shaven face rubbing their faces... It looked to me like it is a general preference but how many men think this is important to women? Why is it so hard for guys to shave for their women if they know their women prefers a clean shaved face? Is it too hard to try and please the other... After all men will shave to go out? Where's the logic there? Are strangers' impression more important than the girlfriend's feelings?

Sorry I got carried away with the shaving it's just that personally I too hate feeling sandpaper rubbed on my face. As to the All Blacks... They're a mean machine when they are doing it right ... Let's just enjoy the games shall we? Anyway thanks for your thoughts... Very much appreciated and a pleasure to welcome you at the corner...

Hey there Jesse my friend! Haven't heard from you for a long time... Always a pleasure to hear from you.... Somehow it feels like welcoming a family member... Thanks for dropping in ... Always appreciated...
