My confession

There was a young man named Nate
who people thought was really great
but one day he eloped with a giant antelope
and left broken hearts in his wake.

Dear Nate:

On this pink-poisoned day,
I must lay my heart out too.
With lots of cheesy things to say,
I will probably fail at making this poem rhyme too.

Thy humor and awesomeness shall never fade,
and it shall lighten up our world for many decades.
YWS would be nothing without you, our awesome Nate,
HAVE A HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! =P

Now we stand with our pink names, as the love is in the
Air;
Thus far yet barely with a clue
How many wonders we owe to you.
And as the day now turns to
Night, we thank you for Apollo's flight..

Cheesier can this poem get
Absolutely I don't know;
Let the time tell what shall be.
Do the hearts flow round the site,
Whether gifts fly through the night
Expect the poems in this thread, for
Love we share for our Creator..
Let this be the last line and YWS live forever.

. . . Poetry. I refuse writing this in pink letters. We do all love you, Nate ^^
Also, someone notice the first letters. Took forever.

Thanks everyone

But please keep in mind that I actually do very little around here. As I said in my most recent blog entry:

A ship, after all, is only as good as its crew. Even an aircraft carrier will sink to the bottom if you have incompetent people managing it.

Fortunately for YWS, we have a great crew of people running things. We are also fortunate enough to have an excellent community.

Going with the ship metaphor, I'm either the shipbuilder or the captain depending on how look at it. Either way, the people who really get stuff done are the ones who are mopping the decks, furling the sails, cleaning the barnacles off the hull, plotting a course, etc.

So please, thank each other for putting together this great site, and thank the YWS Team for putting together the YWS'tival.

Oh humble Nate do you not see
'Twas you who built this great space.
If not for you, there wouldn't be
a crew to make it a wonderful place!

So to Nate and the great YWS crew
Thank you for working so hard.
For without this site I would be so blue
And I mean that with all my heart.
