I want you to know I’m here.
I’m ready for a new adventure.
I think you should come this year.
Seriously fly on over!
We’ll have so much freaking fun.
But just be careful where you park.
Quit landing in area 51!
I’m really anxious to meet you,
but, I’m nervous about you’re probing.
I’ve heard what you guys do [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To my future alien friend:<br />
I want you to know I’m here.<br />
I’m ready for a new adventure.<br />
I think you should come this year.</p>
<p>Seriously fly on over!<br />
We’ll have so much freaking fun.<br />
But just be careful where you park.<br />
Quit landing in area 51!</p>
<p>I’m really anxious to meet you,<br />
but, I’m nervous about you’re probing.<br />
I’ve heard what you guys do to people,<br />
and I’m shy about disrobing.</p>
<p>Perhaps we could sit and chat first?<br />
Just an hour or two prior.<br />
I’ll tell you everything you want to know.<br />
I’ll even work on your ship for hire.</p>
<p>I’ll shine your eyes if you want.<br />
Reset the P-ram on your Dectolaser<br />
I’ll even cook you dinner,<br />
or do anything that requires a razor</p>
<p>I can’t wait to ride your tractor beam.<br />
You think I’ll loose my glasses?<br />
Have you ridden the scream machine at six flags?<br />
If not I’ve got 2 free passes.</p>
<p>Seriously we should go sometime.<br />
You’d love this one space ride.<br />
It’s really just a movie playing,<br />
but looks like a UFO inside</p>
<p>Never mind.  you get to do that already.<br />
And, that’s why I want to come along.<br />
Do you get many radio stations in space?<br />
Because I want you to hear this one song.</p>
<p>It’s called “How You Remind Me” by Nickleback<br />
Trust me you’ll think it’s sweet.<br />
I figured as much as it sucks on earth,<br />
to Martians it will be quite a treat.</p>
<p>We can blast meteors, mess with rednecks,<br />
or warp all over space.<br />
Gosh, I hope you&#8217;re ready<br />
you should see the smile that’s on my face.</p>
<p>(a smile is when I move the corners of my mouth<br />
as far away from each other as I can.)<br />
I bet it’s the same thing as<br />
when you guys glow your hand.</p>
<p>What I’m trying to say is this:<br />
I hope you find me soon.<br />
Planet earth is the blue and white one -<br />
directly passed the moon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Promises are promises<br />
and lies are lies.<br />
I&#8217;m about to reveal to you<br />
a medium-sized surprise.</p>
<p>In July I went away.<br />
I stopped blogging if you remember.<br />
I said I&#8217;d be back<br />
by early September.</p>
<p>I guess I&#8217;m a liar.<br />
I&#8217;ve only written 1 post.<br />
Okay not really,<br />
but 5 at most.</p>
<p>Why would I sacrifice<br />
something I love so much?<br />
Just when it became regular,<br />
and I was developing a touch.</p>
<p>What could possibly divert my attention?<br />
What could take all my time?<br />
Well, For 3 months now<br />
I&#8217;ve been working on this rhyme.</p>
<p>Okay that&#8217;s not true either.<br />
It&#8217;s a bold faced lie.<br />
I have no good excuse<br />
for not even saying goodbye.</p>
<p>But since I&#8217;ve been away<br />
here&#8217;s what&#8217;s gone down:<br />
I got signed with an agent,<br />
and I&#8217;ve been out of town.</p>
<p>To California, to Paris,<br />
and Florida twice.<br />
Now I&#8217;m looking for a new home<br />
if I can find the right price.</p>
<p>10secondsofzany.com<br />
is only a few days away,<br />
and my new blog design<br />
is launching today.</p>
<p>I know it doesn&#8217;t work,<br />
so don&#8217;t click around too much.<br />
By next week you can explore<br />
all the videos and such.</p>
<p>Also since I&#8217;ve been away<br />
I performed a stand-up routine.<br />
I&#8217;ve made a few new sketches.<br />
Pretty soon they can all be seen.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve written a short,<br />
shot a TV pilot &#8211; well half.<br />
I&#8217;ve moved into a new office<br />
and hired a new staff.</p>
<p>Tyler performed a live song<br />
for the very second time<br />
with a full band and me<br />
playing lead electric mime.</p>
<p>So that&#8217;s almost everything<br />
that I&#8217;m willing to share.<br />
Now it&#8217;s time for your surprise<br />
If you still care.</p>
<p>Wait.  Never mind about that.<br />
It&#8217;s going back on the shelf<br />
I was going to make a promise<br />
But instead I&#8217;ll prove myself.</p>
<p>If there&#8217;s anythign I&#8217;ve learned<br />
over the last quarter of a year -<br />
my promises don&#8217;t really matter<br />
by my actions speak quite clear.</p>
<p>And also that<br />
I enjoy making films, performing, and writing<br />
but blogging about random crap<br />
is really much more satisfying.</p>
<p>See you tomorrow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>flaming, crackling, cleansing<br />
you are the one I adore<br />
pokey, brown, and pastry like<br />
you I can&#8217;t ignore</p>
<p>I light you, you suck my ear<br />
I extinguish you, you cast out fear<br />
oh ear candle of wonder<br />
how I love to have you near</p>
<p>I knew when I fist saw you<br />
at the nature&#8217;s remedy store<br />
that you were like a q-tip<br />
but could offer so much more</p>
<p>It was late in mid September<br />
when we took our first date<br />
We lied together perpendicular<br />
separated by a paper plate.</p>
<p>The room flickering with your flame<br />
I lie still on my bed<br />
patently waiting<br />
for you to cleanse my head</p>
<p>wow, you really did it<br />
your stalk is full of grime<br />
the substance once in my ear<br />
has been removed for all time</p>
<p>thank you ear candle of wonder<br />
for clearing out my wax<br />
i know you are much shorter now<br />
but I can finally hear my sax</p>
<p>curious where you came from<br />
I look you up on the world wide web<br />
I want to know how you really work<br />
and what all the doctors have said</p>
<p>thanks to my DSL connection<br />
the feelings in my gut were confirmed<br />
you are a @#$%ing liar<br />
and you deserve it when you&#8217;re burned</p>
<p>Just as I suspected,<br />
you&#8217;re a hoax out for cash<br />
that crap on on your inside<br />
was nothing more than ash</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t even try to explain yourself now<br />
I totally understand.<br />
I even did an experiment<br />
and used you on my hand</p>
<p>ok wow, you did it again<br />
your stalk is full of grime<br />
I must have waxy palms<br />
I don&#8217;t think so.  not this time.</p>
<p>oh ear candle of wonder<br />
I hate your huffing and puffing<br />
I am so humiliated<br />
that I did this for nothing</p>
