takes over, your life it could claim Don’t worry, don’t despair There are other choices for people not square This hazardous game is of boxes and blocks Will fast forward your time and all of your clocks This isn’t Minecraft or Lego, so expect a wild ride It’s highly addictive, you’ll forget what’s outside For some it’s especially brutal and ultimately futile But you won’t know that until your inside Unfortunately, Jay and Max cannot be your guides I will tell you what I can, I have no secrets to hide If you’re ready to play, and think you can win it You might want to think twice just before you begin it But here are the things you need to know If you decide and are ready to go Turn on the machine Select the level and scene You’ll see the options appear on the screen For two locations Silicon Valley or Wall Street To advance to the valley, the Street you must first beat There are several levels of streets, alleys and valleys to defeat Some players have advantages and some will cheat You must enter complex buildings and places Without access to any bases, protection or safe places Inside you will find bad weather and harsh climate Outside experience doesn’t help inside it Rooms in the buildings are cubes joined together Contents inside shift according to weather And inside the cubes you’ll experience wind and rain Try to stay warm and dry, but expect to feel pain It’s easier if you go with the flow and not against the grain Conserve your energy, act wisely, and don’t let it drain Beware in the game, there is nothing that is fair There isn’t very much you can do to prepare Put your game face on and check your feelings at the door Put on your armor and get ready for war I’ll give you some hints based on my experience Your going to need a lot of stamina and perseverance First I will mention To pay close attention Look up at the sky I’ll tell you why The roof of the cubes are made of diamond not glass ceilings Banging your head there is not a good feeling Chances are not small that you will hit a wall And expect that you will fall Clarity, visibility and reality is often an illusion Be aware of the walls and ceilings of delusion Expect to enter rooms full of execs and engineers More than likely you’ll be the only one of your kind here The one and the only It will be quite lonely You’ll probably get scared You might completely freak out Your strength and intelligence you’ll question and doubt Find a foundation and check if it’s shaky Even with your head dizzy, spinning, and achy Look around to find solid ground It isn’t obvious but something is there to be found When in such terrain that is dangerous and uncertain You have limited time to hide behind a curtain The bathrooms are places you might lose your shirt in Try to find stairs to go up to advance Use caution to and be sure you hang onto your pants You’ll find ladders to climb but don’t let down your guard Because if you fall off, you’ll be wounded and scarred Beware of darkness when on ladders and stairs There’s often more than one kind of dragon’s lair Be aware of your breathing and the wind and the air Unspoken or invisible toxins flourish there Leave quickly if you smell poison anywhere Should you find yourself in a cube upside down It is a good time to call Brene Brown Your view is all skewed without the bearings you knew This is extremely challenging to get through In situations so tricky, you will wonder what to do Many people start with grace and agility Authentic, skilled, and well intentioned, not questioning their ability But kindness can be seen as weakness and liability You can harden your soul to pretend you’re a warrior But when your upside down in a box, you couldn’t be sorrier All the scars and the burns unhealed from the past From leaning in too far and free falling fast A few options are available but none that last You can turn yourself invisible or become frozen glass Or pause the game to restore stamina and hope to outlast There’s no safety nets and you need to stay strong Even at times where you don’t fit or belong When you play this game be aware of mental energy waste Those hungry for power will leave you with a bitter taste Inside the spaces and the cubes, everything is limited and resulting in feuds If you get in to the boys club and hang with the dudes You might have a small chance to get through But you will need to have energy left to pursue Those diamond walls and ceilings Are well designed for energy stealing Expect punishment and scolding for stirring the pot, It’s not what you want but it is what you got In this game, your actions, your effort and sweat Can easily be perceived as a threat I warned you earlier, this was never a fair game But there is nothing and no one to blame It is what it is and always the same So, If you don’t get what you want Or you don’t want what you get There are plenty of other things you can do with your time, don’t forget!

kids in the backseat fighting Not even those 2 can stop me from writing There is a good reason to break from the rhyme But I’m afraid I can’t. No. Not this time It was explicitly “no” to the speeches but I’m well known for delays and for breaches But right on time, this rhyme reaches Of course the present is late Some things just take more time to create In a basket of tricks Is a mix of special picks And the next time that I’m late Or I do something totally not great Remember, I still made this in time for the date Remember the joy of the Nutella tortilla And the extremely poor service hos casa mia Without even a snack, not even a sangria But when dinner appears from out on a whim It’s magic for me, the frenchies, and Kim So lucky for us and lucky for him Thank you so much for that and the plants of mint A perfect fit for the hippie, snackless cafe I’m so happy to pynt Now it’s not just the kids but the plants to keep alive Before I take off for Sørenga to meet for a dive And you never know just how late I’ll arrive But I’ll still say it’s much faster than the bike if I drive Can’t leave out the sisters from other misters I’ll blend some Norwegian and add some tongue twisters I hope it holds together and sticks so well that it klisters With Madam Casoli And her ecole of French and ski Will it be even more proper when she gets her degree? And with a PhD, I guess it’s doctor to you and to me When Jannicke left, then we were 3 Three bad ass mother fuckers, X-Gruner damer, divers, and sunsetters Puck in the netters, go getters, and never regretters Still all bad asses So in that mixed basket, there are a few glasses With handles for glogg and vin chaud And inspiration for Ensjøponcho Cheers to a true all weather biker There is no one that compares. There’s no one that’s like her. Who works magic in the garden And listens to Dolly Parton A true wonder and real life superhero Who will be there when your energy feels like zero She’ll come to the rescue in the darkest of hours With all of her magic and all of her powers Whenever there’s darkness or rain Or something is causing you pain When the world just feels so insane When you want to throw in the towel, she’ll sew in a pocket Whenever there’s trouble, she’ll crush it, she’ll sock it She’ll fix things that are broken And leave you smiling and jokin With “apocalyptic” oil for the sauna in November And whenever it rains instead of snow in December In blizzards or rain that’s torrential She has many powers and so much potential Escaping death by cheese in Avoriaz - so delicious and killer Savoring turns from the alps to the local on Wyller From icy hockey rinks to icy waters For us that have sons and didn’t get daughters We know that age is just a bunch of numbers We have more winter adventures and Norwegian summers From fjord to fjell Many more stories to tell So much more I’m going to be late for Happy happy birthday Laila, my dear friend Hugs and kisses for now, before the basket I deliver or send https://www.vectorandrhyme.com/template daily 0.75 2020-07-21 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f10d4df0b1bde48d6e6cf08/t/5f16d95cf475744e446527b0/1595333107544/takemehome.png template -

the birkenstock cowboy Here’s a good story for you all to enjoy About an interesting character known as the Birkenstock Cowboy He has a supremely extremely unique style And an interesting character profile Academic cowboys, PhDs on skis What luck to meet such rare breeds like these Allured by his attire and special couture Where it comes from, I’m not totally sure Wearing killa Synchilla With patterns not so vanilla Shining in Patagonia colors so brightly Sometimes clashing ever so slightly Sporting skinny short shorts Well designed for serious sports Pockets hanging out, specifically for squats Not just for a few, iIn particular, lots Unrivaled britches and fleeces And a masterpiece thesis But unfortunately for me, not on Telekinesis Still nothing can beat What he wears on his feet The bleeding edge of academic style would not be complete Without the authentic and original first spiked sandals And all kinds of ice and snow and weather it handles It’s Birks year round with a spike clicking sound It’s really the best academic geek chic around Now you’re all good to go When there’s ice and there’s snow It’s just like bikes with spikes but better, you know Keep your eyes out for the Birkenstock Cowboy His spikes will leave tracks And if he crazy waves to you, just wave back! https://www.vectorandrhyme.com/content daily 0.75 2020-07-21 https://www.vectorandrhyme.com/content/blog-post-title-four-484z8 monthly 0.5 2020-05-19 https://www.vectorandrhyme.com/content/saltwater-kiss monthly 0.5 2020-07-21 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f10d4df0b1bde48d6e6cf08/t/5f163bc992f0a40baa2fc72b/1595292621847/saltykiss.png content -

dark vaders My dark vaders, divers and darkness survivors When I hang with you, I never feel more aliver Laila, you are the most powerful, badass, sewing machine Next year they’ll all know exactly what I mean Amazing work and brilliance with the dukes, the vader and the syden And the presents for all of us that I’ll soon be reading Today’s dive off the docks with you and Kim in a sky full of light Finally one morning that didn’t feel middle of the night It’s more than saltwater thrills and flying down hills Sweet escapes from the jokers and paying the bills I’m still singing that Weekend song I really love singing it and singing it wrong I can’t feel my “toes” when I’m with you but I like it You never know what you’re missing Until you just strike it Don’t ever stop searching and exploring Keeping it real and definitely not boring And if you ever wonder or just need to ask Yes I am really smiling even under the mask I don’t have a wishlist, I don’t want more stuff Just want to do more things badass and tough Next year I expect things will still be a bit rough We’ll be just fine with the cold rush in the buff Things will go wrong in all kinds of ways But if I’m still third wheel I’ll have plenty good days To the hottest and coldest, the bravest and boldest All the best and the goldest Share the love and the tunes Until the next mornings and afternoons https://www.vectorandrhyme.com/2020-telling-it-like-it-is daily 0.75 2020-12-23 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f10d4df0b1bde48d6e6cf08/t/5fe3b6e5896d416d76e90e1f/1608759024918/2020tellingit.png 2020 telling it like it is - 2020 just telling it like it is I have to tell the story of 22 straight rainy days And coping with 2020 Yes, all of the ways Many dives into the Oslo fjord It’s not totally insane If you do it enough You’ll feel pleasure not pain It’s something else to do In the dark without clothes I’m sharing it you know Not everyone knows The things you can do to escape covid and Trump When the sun has vanished And you’re in a bit of a slump Not all is cancelled or lost Some things are good fun And don’t have much cost Life’s still good If you’re under 13 If you like to ski on ice And you like to be mean If you like pushing Rose off the Titanic in Roblox And dropping your pants. Yeah. Not just your socks If it wasn’t attached, you might lose your head I’ll say it 50x, would you please go to bed? Doesn’t matter if it’s pants, a sock, or a glove Could you show your brother just a little bit of love? Leaving trails of clothes in so many places Joking and pranking just to see faces The thrill of reactions ever so priceless I’ll try to stay patient for kindness and niceness Until then, I’ll play with stories and words And make the best and the most Of the random and absurd For people that fall asleep in the shower and wear shorts on their head If you get what I mean from everything that I’ve said I bought presents from youwish dot n-o I wish they were for me I’m just letting you know For the warriors and heroes Let there be arrows and bows For fighting dragons and hydras And life’s highs and life’s lows For those that add milk to their chocolate Beyond reasonable proportion And expect cookies for dinner Through bribes and extortion Whenever you feel not exactly unencumbered Just remember who I live with And I’m always outnumbered My sweet dreams are definitely made of cheese Or an island in the sun with wind and with breeze At the end of the day when I’m tired of the teasing I’ll vent to the wise owl and the true voice of reason For training and advice for a sunsetter future hockey season More random and absurd nonsense and strange places one pees in I think he might still be with me when it comes to the freezing Then if I seize a moment to be with my true north star His office is downstairs. It’s not really that far When I steal a chance to be alone but still together Without the jokers on our dirty sofa that’s made of brown leather We could pretend to have sun and sand and good weather But instead we’ll watch Puckers or Arctic explorers We like ice and darkness and vodka for scorers I know I’m not crushing it when it comes to domestic life I can imagine how much it sucks to have me for a wife I suck so supermuch at homeschooling and cooking And I’m not getting any younger and not better looking Even though I’m older, I’m still doing stupid shit I might do it a little slower but I’m not gonna quit Must we always be so responsible and serious? When it’s so much more fun to laugh and be delirious With best friends, third wheels, without the sons or daughters We have our connection with darkness and the saltwaters The real secret to be told is that the rush is not for gold Where the real magic happens is in saltwater that’s cold The world would be a much better place if we all took the dive And did things for each other that make us feel alive Like the moments when talking to strangers Those kinds of things are really game changers In 2021, there will always be things that are wrong or go faulty But if you want to stay happy . . . Stay safe and stay salty https://www.vectorandrhyme.com/on-the-rocks daily 0.75 2021-01-03 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f10d4df0b1bde48d6e6cf08/t/5ff1a37746517e2c74bbb07f/1609671589470/ontherocks.png on the rocks - on the rocks I don’t like scotch or whiskey And prefer snow where I ski But I know you’re not me So I’ll let you ski free https://www.vectorandrhyme.com/if-you-like daily 0.75 2021-01-03 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f10d4df0b1bde48d6e6cf08/t/5ff1a1e00db4f45ccbc50f79/1609671143099/ifyoulike.png if you like - If you like . . . You like to give your mother gray hair You like skiing rocks right under the chair You like sharp icicles for popsicle and sword You couldn’t care less about baby sharks in the fjord You like sleeping in caves and favorite snow holes You never mind losing one or two poles You like being without parents on the lift Your ski pants have yet another new rift You like jumping off really large rocks You never mind holes in your wool socks You like going down with fire and flames You like to prank and you like to play games You like being mean to your one and only brother You like being nice to just about anyone other You don’t get cold feet while out on the rocks You like to do bumps and don’t mind the hard knocks You know those special places you really like to be Where you might accidentally hug or kiss a tree? You don’t get what’s really the worst Of all the things that I’ve dreaded or cursed It’s way worse than leaving fresh snow I don’t think you get it. How could you possibly ever know? It’s soon time to pack up and go home So this is the very last part of the poem You might still be laughing at me or maybe just smirking Because it’s not you that has to go back to working! https://www.vectorandrhyme.com/slim-chance-or-fat-chance daily 0.75 2021-01-03 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f10d4df0b1bde48d6e6cf08/t/5ff1a5a7673a147fccbd7a1a/1609672112698/slimchance.png slim chance or fat chance - slim chance or fat chance? Yes I know it’s not a game I can win We both agree that our patience is thin I’m not really sure I still want to play But I’ll give it a go just a few hours today Not likely I’ll keep up, I know chances are slim More painful for me? Or more painful for him? https://www.vectorandrhyme.com/losing-my-ambition daily 0.75 2021-01-03 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f10d4df0b1bde48d6e6cf08/t/5ff1ab332fb5c129f22d0b22/1609673535196/ambition.png losing my ambition - RHYME - LOSING MY AMBITION RIDDLE find all the song references
