Farmville Farmer’s passive income, Farmville Labyrinth, Law of Attraction – all in one short post.

Your farmer can now sit back, drink beer, and do nothing while all the crops are harvested and the pigs truffled.   You, the real person however, become his labourer but at a much much quicker pace.
Notice the exact spot where your farmer lands when you open farmville.  Then trap him/her!  One friend put a nice hedge [...]

Avocado Table Creative Contribution

AVOCADO TABLE
Version 2
In every person’s back pocket,

of unsuspecting staid people
who then find themselves
in an avocado green light
of magical early mornings
and
wistful warm [...]

I could look absurd, insane, who knows?
Will THEY find fault with all that I hold dear?
I have a plan, the shrinking violet said,
Compromise, so I won’t seem over-proud,
I’ll grow into a blade of grass [...]
