NYC Foos Has My Back
I love you guys so much. We keep each other strong. We may move around or live new lifestyles, but nothing stands to keep us apart. I want you all to realize what a fantastic crew we have; so many thanks to Victor for that. I’ve been lucky enough to deal with a decent amount of different types and forms of local foos communities across the country, and though they’re awesome in...

Matrimony
I’m not there yet. I’m not good enough. Not yet. So many people are so much better. With less to lose.
Scatters of hope like motes of dust. Brought to light by the future like the sun. Protected by the past. Secured by experience and fate. Not because of the luck of the future. Everybody has equal chance of luck. Just the promise of time. Waiting for time to...

Opening Statement
Competitive games help people interact with others and themselves, internally and externally. In a game of teamwork, there comes a sense of self satisfaction and positive social reinforcement. It is intense and it requires great focus, but at the same time, brings fun and friendship. It is indeed a multifaceted and unique way of improving the quality of life.
