Last month of being a couple

Anxious but excited.

Itchy palms

Lately my palms are itchy. My suspects are :
a) Car steering wheel growing with molds

Not because it’s Claudine and Reymart’s birthday but it is the day that I won the race against millions of other sperm cells a few decades back.

Danny’s Song

I’ve been waiting for three years to sing Kenny Loggin’s Danny’s Song.
People smile and tell me I’m the lucky one
