true romance.

hey duders,
y'wanna know somethin'?
okay.
i dig love.
seriously,
i'm into it.
i mean,
y'all already know i get fresh when it comes to gratitude and generosity,
but there's also a special secret place that i save for romance, too.
uh-huh.
sure it's a few weeks early,
but failing to plan is just planning to fail, right?
you know it.
check the earlybird special on the hearts and sweets teleport:

c'mon.
i can't help it, neighbors.
i just truly like valentine's day a whole bunch.
yeah, i doo-doo that crossed hearts and open hands kind of sh!t.
i know, yo-
it shouldn't just be a designated special day for selling cards and flowers,
trimmed in lace and boxed up like chocolates-
there should be something else that starts those comfortably warm
and familiarly fuzzy feelings across our faces.
heck, i even agree that genuine devotion and all that is for every day!
i'm serious.
but, then again,
and feel free to damn me for a fool-
i appreciate a focused moment specifically meant for taking it to eleven.
...that's a thing.
and whether or not i'm all by my lonesome,
which is more likely than not, after all,
there will be roses and candies and alcohol-free drinkies,
and i will still be wearing pink and eating some sweet sprankle-activated somethin'.
be mine, i say.
to myself, i think.
and i say, "yes", because who else's could i be?
for realsies.
***********
me and my man austin did a quick trip to portland, maine.
that meant vegan food and crackery grocery stores.
and that meant getting ALL the super-fancy ingredients for the my newest project.
yuuuuuuuuuuup.
the Folk Life & Liberty Fortress has a test kitchen now.
a bachelor padded bakery and theoretical food-science vegan laboratory.
that's right, kids.
albie rock is making a baked greats cookbook.
what's that?
oh, you're very welcome.
so now it's on full-blast and full-steam ahead.
barreling into the future one cup of flour at a time.
i need taste testers and beta-recipe participants,
so make sure you're available,
and we'll make the magic happen together.
heck,
if you play your cards right,
you might even get to be my valentine.
awwwwwwwwwww.
sour grapes and sweet hearts, my ninjas.
it's all really happening;
never quiet, never soft.....
