When clouds come your way, shine brighter
AP: 1st place 2026
I tackled a project I’ve avoided for a year
creepy hiding mice was my fear.
I never take on a project in a teensy, tiny toe-tasting way
As expected, after getting started, this took most of my day
I would love to say that I was able to conquer the entire pile
Lying about this would be easy to see by my crooked smile
I was inspired by the progress to think about taking it on again tomorrow
It is less daunting now, does not bring me half as much sorrow
Thinking of the disgust of my children if I were to unexpectedly die
Kept me throwing away junk until my trash pile hit the sky
I raised one neatnik and two hoarder daughters with piles of their own
I have already lost three dogs and a cat, this mess has way overgrown
Also inspiring me was the fact that my retirement can be a bore.
Watching TV in a recliner means my slippered feet rarely hit the floor
I wanted a project, something new and different to do.
Sorting out this junk and throwing was long overdue.

Muscovy and American Buff hydryds
where talked about.
Sceince would use two turkeys
2 muscovy duck
and two american Buff
to create a new taste.
Lacking the fishyness of goose
the gameyness of wild turkeys, geese and ducks
they looked to solve the evolutionary problem of
making a bird
that is cheap afordable
and willing to reproduce quickly and cheaply
for a public that is willing to buy.
"These species are genetically and taxonomically completely incompatible. Because they belong to different taxonomic groups (turkeys belong to the Galliformes order, while Muscovy ducks belong to Anseriformes), they cannot produce viable offspring"

SEPARATIST MESS
CENTURION GROUP DISTRESS
MAKES ME HAPPY YES
ANTE GOING UP
POTENTIAL HORMUZ BLOWUP
COULD BE THE WARMUP
Project sunny smiles,
Sharing kindly attitudes,
Spread practical faith!
In my heart lives a dream looking for hands,
Not to replace it,
But to walk beside it.
Project of the Heart is a Creative Lab
Where ideas become form,
Where words, images, colors, and matter
Meet to give life on every possible printing surface.
This is not a one-person project.
It is an open space
For those who believe creativity
Is a tool for change.
We invite you to take part in the way you can,
As your heart allows:
— Printing materials
— Equipment, paper, ink, machines
— Skills, time, guidance
— Moral support, sharing, visibility
— Or any other form of contribution
You feel called to offer.
Every small gesture creates impact.
Every gift is an act of trust.
Every participation adds a new color
To the prism of this project.
If you cannot give much,
Give what you have.
If you cannot give things,
Give presence.
If you cannot give presence,
Give belief.
Project of the Heart
Is a laboratory of love,
A workshop of hope,
A proof that when hearts unite,
Creation has no limits.
Come.
Create.
Leave your trace.
Galaxies zoom through Outerspace
At incredible speeds
Our Solar system revolves within the Milky Way
At enormous speed
Earth spins around the Sun
Pretty fast
And at the “center” of God’s creation
I’m reassured that everyone needs a little breather
So just exhale and sigh,
“Ahhhhhhhhh”
As the poorly-programmed project
had received no traction
badly borne out by the evidence
of no enthusiasm or action
with accumulation-based speculation
pulling strings as a puppeteer
when whipping up interest
then asking for a volunteer
inducing imploring inveigling
and coercing someone to commit
"It's more than my job's worth,"
said Jack, "but I'll take a crack at it."
For a consecutive 6 weeks,
You helped a project of "putting the lipsticks on the pig".
Has the fence not damaged by the strangers,
We would not have worked together.
You helped keeping me safe from outsiders,
Prevent people invading into my living quarters,
But, you had stolen the key to my heart's locker,
Made me seeing the fence as a reminder.
Let it bleed inside my mind,
It hurt all days and nights,
Despite I have tried,
The pain and heartache have not ended.
Remember those dots I used,
They were exactly how I felt at the time,
But did not know you well enough to share my inner feelings,
Should never have those feelings in the first place.
It was never your false,
You did not encourage nor give me any wrong messages.
It was me who was so vulnerable,
Growed an affection and invested emotion feelings on you.
I never blamed you terminated our friendship,
If there was any of it.
However. I loathed you for disrespecting me and discriminating me being part of dirty system.
My invasion
Retake the cake
Shifty snake
Answer the bell
Perpetually on the go
Around the edge
Of certainty’s glow
Burn marks you’ll see
Journey is stark
Through shadows deep
And fading sparks
The line is drawn
The path reclaimed
From fractured ground
I rise unchained
Long and winding road
Built everywhere in the world
Built by narrow eyes.
I know this is temporary
But it doesn’t ease the pain,
Faking who I am for now
Pushing those feelings down again.
The repercussions of doing this
Already fills my head with doubt,
Forcing myself to be present
When I just want to sit this one out.
I can’t pre-empt the future
But if I’m just going from my past,
My world will crash all over again
And I’ll be feeling like an outcast.
If I’ve had the strength to fake this
Why can’t I do this everyday?
I know I possibly could but
It’s exhausting in every possible way.
This disconnecting feeling
Is making my world feel quite small,
Friends and family become strangers
As I build up this impenetrable wall.
There will be catastrophic damages to our
great nation, if we elect the Project 2025
conservative administration..
They plan to holt all carbon emission goals and
return to drilling oil and gas and coals..
Begin the largest mass deportation.
Eliminate the Department of Education.
Adopt the biblical definition for marriage: a man,
and a woman and a baby carriage..
Those Justices who Roe vs Wade did kill, now
plan to ban the abortion pill.
Aiming at the "awoke agenda", to end equality
and inclusion, the message they render..
Planning to criminalize p.o.r.n., which has been
around way before most of us were born..
Repay there big donors that had their backs by
heavily reducing their corporate tax..
Ending the three branches of gov., a long standing
tradition, by placing the Department of Justice
under the Executive position.
All government employees will have no job protections,
the end of our Republic, a very sad projection..
President Biden is angry and hurt
as the press and his party
devalue his worth.
He's disrespected and told he's too old,
while his challenger spews untruths
yet gains in the polls and
Project 2025 slowly unfolds..
Americans want Trump so
that's what their getting,
regardless of our President
with so much more vetting.
Read Project 2025, it's
extremely upsetting..
