  • Two Days Late

    If this question had come up two days ago, my answer would have been much different. But after the events of yesterday, I am feeling a bit more jaded. Been doin’ a lot of thinkin’ Two days ago, my answer probably would have involved, at least to some degree, a few words about embracing creativity…

  • A Morning of Disappointment

    I had logged into the platform this morning with the intention of getting caught up on comments, reading and maybe getting a post out there. What I got instead was a boatload of disappointment. I am sure several of you have seen Laura’s post by now and know that I had the unfortunate honor of…

    I am your Mayor. Why, you ask? This is why… Now, how freaking cool is that? Ladies and gentlemen, this totally awesome mug was a gift from my main man Ernie, or as I love to call him, E-DAWG Ernie, When I got in this morning, I realized I had received a package yesterday. After…

  • Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 10.26.24

    From: GHQ Central Command To: All Forward Units For those who thought otherwise, the strike was a joke. Just to clarify. 😄 That said, WP Land still seems kinda quiet these days. As much as I love pizza, I have come to the realization that I need to back off at least a bit. The…

  • Wasn’t Gonna Answer

    But then I realized that I was missing a prime opportunity to post some Moonweasel pics. 😄 Why yes, he can walk on the moon without life support equipment. He’s Moonweasel, after all. He may also be a part time Jedi. Something in an N7 or Spectre perhaps? And this one just because it reminds…

  • All Will Fall

    The time is ticking Slips away A precipice Another day At the dawn of time Or end of all It’s all the same The skies will fall Heaven, Hell The two are one And in between We are the none A moment’s pause In time, cold dead Infinity A second’s dread The end of days…

  • To The Highest Bidder

    Ever since December of last year, I have tossed around a lot of job ideas in my not-so-nimble brain. I have long toyed with the idea of getting out of manufacturing, and in some ways, still have a bit of a goal to ditch it eventually. But, that said, these days, I find that my…

  • The Burning Question

    I really have to get busy fixing the time/space continuum, but I really must take my break first. Shop rules and all, you understand. My sincerest thanks to the Time/Space Pizza Place for the express delivery! The burning question everyone always asks… “Do you really love pizza as much as you claim to?” My answer?…

    MLMM Wordle #395: All I Need

    I see your ring on the table I knew one day you’d leave The two of us weren’t meant to be You call me shallow But your words are hollow You post on your page Not a trace of sadness A picture You and some guy Standing next to a lamppost You share it with…

    I looked at this prompt a few times and debated if I was going to bother with it or not. I opted “not” to a degree. Not in its original form, at least. I sat and thought about it a bit, and after some reflection, and looking back on historical events I remember, most of…

  • More Than A Couple

    Great question! Let me get my calculator and tally sheet out. Let’s see here… Subtract the 5, carry the 1… Multiply by 50… And… Wait. What? That can’t be right! Let’s try that again. Ah, I see now! Subtract 7, carry the 3, divide by 4.44365… Multiply by… Pi? What? No! I think my calculator…

    Forged From Fire

    The fire used to frighten me Always, the warnings Don’t get too close For fear of burning I was cautious I avoided the flames Then, one day Without warning Unexpectedly I was thrust into the fire And I burned And burned The scars never heal Fully And the pain resides Scar tissue Becomes your armor…

    I wasn’t going to do a Triple S this week, but Mr. M insisted we can’t have a Sunday without some music. I guess he’s right, so, here we are. 😄 Hopefully, you’ll enjoy this week’s selections and find something to suit your mood! Def Leppard – “Photograph” I can’t recall a time when I…

    Early bird or night owl? Right now, due to multiple schedule shifts, a bit of both. Hopefully, it becomes one or the other soon! What’s your favorite spooky story or legend? I never thought about it, really. I guess I would have to go with The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. What’s the best Halloween candy?…

    I’m actually going to play this one straight today. Shocking, I know. If I had to pick one thing to be most proud of, I would have to say being a father, and all that comes with it. I don’t talk much about personal matters, but suffice to say that, like many of you, I…
