    Another post from the archives. As I look back at these, it’s interesting to see the same feelings and emotions applied to different scenarios. I have not changed the content of this post other than to add some pictures and logo. Sometimes in this adventure called life we find ourselves looking for the one big…

    Another old post, but one that got a read today, so I figured others might be interested as well. I also took the liberty of adding some pics, and my sweet af logo. One of the biggest issues I’ve had to contend with since being out of work is figuring out exactly what the heck…

    This is a post from last year. I was rereading it as a little reminder to myself of just how life can be. We all need it sometimes. I also took the opportunity to update the images and add my cool new logo. Otherwise, the post remains unchanged from when it was originally written. Enjoy.…

    This crushing weight, within, without A whisper here is like a shout An agonizing, painful cry Too much to live, yet not to die Pressure pushing ever down Wear it like a broken crown You bear it always, this you must Drifting dreams amidst the dust Forgotten laughter gone away But from this path you…

    Trigger Warning: Contains profanity and scenes of violence. The text message said, “Meet me behind the water tower at midnight. Come alone and don’t tell anyone.” Jace Windham looked at his phone and quietly exhaled. “What the fuck does he want now?” Windham asked himself under muttered breath. He had been undercover for almost six…

    Strange… I feel like I have answered this a time or ten. 🤔 Anyhow, for the umpteenth time… Mountains, baby. Why? Cooler temps, quiet, peaceful. I just find that mountains capture my imagination more than other locales. Whenever I can, I try to head up north and into the surrounding towns which are a bit…

    Do I trust my instincts? For the most part, I would say yes. Some would even say I have a knack for knowing exactly what people are going to do before they themselves even know. Am I a fortune teller? A visionary? A prophet? Nah. Just lucky. I’m just “lucky” that I have been around…

    Hard to pick just one, here. I like September, because it usually signals a bit of relief from the heat. Sure, there’s still some pretty warm days, but at least knowing there’s a break coming definitely helps. And, it’s also the start of football season! So big and bad he needs more than one number.…

    I have answered this before, and my answer has not really changed. I would head for the mountains to find a great dose of peace and serenity. I truly don’t ask for much. I don’t need the hustle and bustle of some fancy metro city, nor do I need a tropical paradise. Not saying these…

    In a touch of irony, I actually cut this prompt some slack. It’s far from the worst one they’ve ever done, but the bar is also fairly low to begin with. 😄 That said, I don’t feel like answering it in it’s original form now. But, since I haven’t done a daily prompt in a…
