    Good day to all and welcome to the latest edition of Showcase. Due to an unexpected schedule change it is going up later than normal, so please accept my apologies. Due to unreliable pingbacks, if I missed any posts, please let me know ASAP so that I may update. Thank you and much appreciated. I…

    Ladies and gentlemen, Due to an unforeseen scheduling change at work, this week’s NTT will be unavoidably delayed. I will have it posted as soon as I possibly can. In the meantime please accept my sincerest apologies and my thanks for your patience and understanding. (And no, I don’t know where my other glove is.)…

    He was hard at work in his office when he heard the knock on the door. He stopped his writing for a moment and closed his eyes. “Not this again”, he thought to himself as he let out a deep, exaggerated sigh. “Come in”, he said in a low, flat tone. He rolled his eyes…

    POWER KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES. Power, much like a lot of things in life, comes in many different shades, colors and forms. We all have an inner power. Sometimes several. Sometimes we may wish we had one form of inner power that another has demonstrated. But perhaps, just maybe, they might also wish they had yours…

    I feel like this is part B of the recent prompt that asked “what things could you do more of?” I mean, I feel like the answers are going to be similar for a lot of folks: And those are all very valid answers to a degree. However… I am going to go in a…

    I wasn’t going to put up a Triple S this week, but Mr. Moonweasel insisted, so, well…here we are. Personally, I think he just wanted to show off his new fedora, but… A few different selections this week. While I tend to lean towards the rock and metal genres, I do listen to other stuff…

    Sure! I’ll play along too! What type of food would you NEVER eat? I can’t say “never” because I actually tried it once, but I can say “never again” to seaweed salad. If I had followed my instincts and stuck with “never”, my life, and palate, would be much better for it. What is your…

    I am sure by now, many regular readers are thinking “Damn, this guy sure sleeps a lot” based on the amount of times I talk about it. In reality, I don’t. That’s the funny thing about working at night. You really don’t tend to sleep as much as you should. Of course, I am sure…

    YOUR INNER POWERS ARE YOUR TRUE RICHES. The idea for this installment was next in line after the Blue and Red editions of PV. While some of my recent posts have talked about maximizing funds for least effort, there are old adages about true wealth being more than monetary. The people you surround yourself with,…

    This is a bit of a tough one, because when one thinks of “work”, a job often comes to mind. At least, that’s what my mind defaults to. My perspective on jobs has changed a lot in the past nine months or so. I now tend to view them more as a means to an…

    The death of giving a damn Is absinthe for the soul Like a shattered glass Fragments of ego Strewn about the floor Two way mirror No reflection Staring back Yet watching Delusions of eloquence Faded parchment And one good eye Reading the truth Not theirs Yours Absinthe bitter Not sweet Flavor of reality ©️ The…

    Well, these types of questions, really. First, I don’t really like talking about myself in that fashion. Second, I don’t really know that any one trait truly stands out. I’m thinking, I’m thinking… If I were to just sum it up quickly and cleanly, I would probably just say that I think I am a…

    After a brief detour to get my head screwed back on, I’m here and brought NTT with me. Although it was a short sojourn, I did miss this, and all of you, quite a bit. Hopefully you’re also happy to see it back. I don’t have much else to add other than my deepest thanks,…

    I recall this being asked before, and I’ll be damned if I can remember exactly what I said, but I’m sure it was similar to the following. I don’t think I would consider working if money didn’t matter. I think instead, I would focus on doing things I just plain like to do. I’d love…

    YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE POWER I created this “Red” edition of PV on the same day I created the “Blue” version. As I said in that post, I am currently just chasing whatever creative whims come to me. Every one of them might not be a home run, but it satisfies me at this stage…

    Only repeatedly… (And I don’t care what anyone says. the Gorilla Action Figures still rock.) But, this did give me a nice opportunity to make some more spiffy Gorilla pictures, and oh, I don’t know…Maybe a little rant. Now, as much as I love talking about Gorilla Brand and Gorilla Mart, even I, the great…

    I once was loyal, but no more That feeling walked out through the door These words I speak, I say them true Don’t ever think they care for you Shove you down and stab your back Remind you of the things you lack They care if you but serve them well But if you don’t,…

    I am sure there’s more than a few, actually. But for the sake of brevity, I will keep it to only a couple. Exercise: While I always get at least a couple sessions in weekly, it’s nowhere near the volume and frequency I’d like. I used to always be good about getting 5 -7 in…

    THE POWER IS YOURS FOR THE TAKING. YOU NEED ONLY ACCEPT IT. As you can see, I decided to try something a bit different for a change. During my couple days away, one of the thoughts that kept circling back to me was that I wanted to get back to some of the things I…

    The first album I ever bought as a young, impressionable lad. From there, there was no going back. VH then, now, and always. The impact it had on my life can never be overstated. It’s seen me through the best of times, the worst, and everything in between. 🤘🤘 Rock on, y’all! 🤘😎🤘

    On this first Fall day, I would like to take a moment to reflect and celebrate the coming of the Autumn. As I stated in this post a couple weeks back, I do not see Autumn as an end, but as a beginning. The full, vibrant colors. The crisp, clean air. The scents and sounds…

    For this edition of Triple S, I am posting up some songs that I listened to during my recent sabbatical. I spent a fair amount of time working out and just focusing on nothing much in general, and trying to rest in between. I, like many others, find music is a good thing to get…
