Introduction

Brave adventurers of the new world, welcome! To define this land is impossible, for what we seek here is not yet known. To explore beyond the borders of time is our ultimate goal. We walk close to the edge of the present — watching and reflecting on what each breath brings. Here is where you will find our accounting. Please, excuse us for any lack of delicacy, for the only truth we know and report is our own.

Dear fellow adventurers,

I am writing today with great joy to bring you awesome news. It’s been eight years now since our beloved UnpairedSocks.org has been holding our deepest thoughts, this platform is the Ark that will carry forward in time the accounting of our brief passage though the world of the living, and will allow us to see with each other’s eyes and maybe even feel each other’s soul, it will allow us to connect generations of explorers, to make our own precious experiences of value to the ones coming after us. They, who will one day inherit the Will of the Explorer and wander this Earth and maybe even other celestial destinations, we have the chance and the duty to gift the future with our valuable learnings, already paid for with much blood, tears and sweat.

Even though I regard this platform as one of the most important works of my life, I have my own limitations when it comes to the technical aspects of maintaining and developing a website. I am grateful and proud to have made it this far with the little we’ve had in hand. But as our ten years anniversary is now closer than ever, it’s finally time to take this project to new heights, so I am pleased to announce our new Web Developer (WD) and fellow adventurer, Digelo! He will be helping with the development of the platform, and you can expect to see great improvements coming soon! I would also like to officially announce a position that has been fulfilled for many years now, by a member that is no stranger to this group, a warm welcome to our Game Master (GM), The Wanderer! He’s been helping to keep our website for many years now, and with this new Era of the UnpairedSocks Society coming, it is important to make his role official, as he is not only a great author and contributor but also a leading mind for our future. We also recently got a new member, who hasn’t yet shared his thoughts, but is one of the greatest explorers of our modern times. A warm welcome to fellow explorer, Unmasked!

Hail W.D. Digelo!

Hail G.M. The Wanderer!

Hail Unmasked!

I would love to hear what’s been in all of your minds lately, so I heed a call to all our members to come back and share some thoughts!

And yours truly,

Ah, ta. A te, a ti, eu to, e tu? 

Se no teclado, quando bato 

Eu retrato

Cada traço 

Do contexto do espaço 

Em que me acho

Manifesto meu apreço

Pelo contato

Que me testa a todo preço 

No disparate

Com promessas e desgastes

Me comprometo 

ao seu debate

Já no começo

Eu Reconheço seu combate

Que rebate 

cada trecho que eu meço 

com medidas

E palavras tão ardidas

Conheço a fala

desmedida, que exala

em cada letra, 

traço de treta

Você me remeteu 

ao seu papel.

Mas sem caneta, um papel

é só papel, 

E não gazeta

Logo, cometa

Um novo erro e vire réu

Volte pro céu, 

pro seu planeta,

Ele é só seu, cheio de mel, cheio de teta.

Com menos féu

 e a mente preta

te espero num cometa,

não arremeta 

pra escrever e assentar

em cada folha em branco dentro da gaveta.
