I seek like mindedness.
Other times I seek sh#t WAY OFF my norm.
Others?
I just let the front page dictate what's about to befall me.
Sometimes I seek definitions.
Sometimes I'm STOKED that I knew their meanings.
Other times I cringe at how frikken suTpid I am.
Sometimes I sneak in and hope nobody saw me caring.
Other times I STAND UP SO FRIKKEN TALL I FEEL LIKE THE EIFFEL TOWER!
Some times I pour my heart out. . . then immediately delete what would have benefited me, in the long run.
Some times I cry over loss.
Some times I cry from gain.
Many times I cry out of pure joy.
No, I am not some kind of dork who has nothing left to give.
No, I'm not old and so f*#ked up I can't get into my harness anymore.
I'm just as vital as the next guy.
Here, at TheTacoStand, I'm just as big as part of the whole as anybody else, regardless of whether or not I did NIAD, or played my part as "Bivy Becky" to the guys who shoot your boobs for their TRs.
I, SERIOUSLY, wrote the book on how park visitors see wall climbers.
I co-invented, named the SILENT PARTNER, and helped patent it.
F*#k you guys who, this day in age, don't understand how FRIKKEN REVOLUTIONARY that goddamned design was.
I CHALLENGE YOU TO DESIGN SOMETHING BETTER.
And, here I am. . . eviscerated, at my own hand . . . CELEBRATING WHAT WE HAD AT THE TACO STAND.
We had it all.
We all stood tall.
Read.
Be proud.
Be smart.
Stay close!
KEEP THE MAGIC ALIVE!

Well put, eKaterina.
I've enjoyed what you've shared her over the years,
and hope the magic can continue in some form on one of the new landing spots.
P.S. When I read your forum title, I thought of the Dan Hill song "Sometimes when we touch";
kind of a sad feeling about the good fun we've had here over the years.

When Jerry Stackhouse got schooled by Michael Jordan
A metaphor; go figure, it is long-winded, takes some Hoop-sense,
very fitting
When Trash Talking Michael Jordan Goes VERY Wrong...

I used to meet east-coast climbers and rope-gun
for weekends & longer in the great ditch
take them up Nut Cracker as far as they could go
I'd leave them to wonder about the name
Micheals Ledge & Five Books
 Then show them how to by-pass the pin-scars
one year it paid for Dead tour

hey there, say, ekat... you are a WONDER...
I AM thankful to have met you and call you friend...
and-- i never climbed...
*well, i climbed hills, and simple rocks, but YOU know what i mean...
wow...
just now, on the radio, this song came on...
we can use i it in context, though as to the TACO ROLLING ALONG HERE,
AND ALL IT DID:
ALL IT SHARED...
ALL IT TAUGHT...
'it thrilled our soul'...
it rolled us all night long...
it is and was a SPIRITUAL THING...
you said so much, just now:
i will add this to the pot, now:
come on baby, let the good time roll...
(will put it on the party-night thread, too) ...
thank you ekat for sharing all this...
*we will SCROLL ALL NIGHT LONG...

Here are the words to that song. . .
I LOVE IT!
Sometimes When We Touch
Dan Hill
You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
In what you say or do
I'm only just beginning
To see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes
And hide
I want to hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
Romance's in all strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the years security
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize-fighter
Still trapped within my youth
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes
And hide
I want to hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you try
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes
And hide
I want to hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

neebs. . . you and your brother, Mark, have carved deep grooves in my heart. He was such a strong part of my life in Camp 4 - and lo and behold, you became just as an important part of my life.
Kisses to both of you.
Long, long memories connected to you, both!
Please, let's never lose contact!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
