Strand of Hope
Amidst the ash Amidst the haze A witness To the final days A sudden flash A light, distinct In seconds A whole race extinct Despite the warnings Never learned And now the earth Lies dead and burned A strand of hope Perhaps one day We all will find A better way Šī¸ The Beginning At…

Letting Go
I think letting go of anger and preconceptions over small, mostly irrelevant things goes a long way towards promoting harmony. When we realize we don’t need to be right about every little thing, or don’t have to stress over things we cannot control, life does seem a little more peaceful for everyone. Have a great…

1984 Called
And they want me back. I would love to dive a bit deeper into this topic but unfortunately, work is not allowing me that luxury. Needless to say, my primary favorite is 80s rock and metal, but I enjoy a wide variety of music. Up the irons!!! đ¤đđ¤ Have a great day everyone!

Happy 4th of July!
Good morning and Happy 4th of July to those who are observing! No politics, no ruminating, or any of that. Just going to say I’m grateful for what I have, and if you are celebrating and/or traveling, please be safe! I “celebrated” by doing my push-up challenge that I have been threatening. đ More on…

Moonweasel Wednesday
Because why the hell not? Mr. Moonweasel is going to be our emcee today because a certain gorilla is physically and mentally beat. “Silo” truly is a four-letter word in more ways than one. đ I can’t explain the whole process in a three minute read, but suffice to say if my silos screw up…

Genuine
Much like the gratitude prompt, this could be a very broad question. But I think my answer is similar, really. I think at the end of the day, whether it be a gift, a gesture, or a few words, it’s if it’s genuine that matters most. Letting someone know they are truly appreciated and meaningful…

Techno Tuesday
Technically speaking… Good morning all! How the hell y’all doing today? I hope life is treating you well this fine day. Not much up here today. Got a few small tasks to do and investigating a potential opportunity. Then, it’ll be time to crash and burn for the afternoon. Don’t forget to get your NTT…

“Thank you” usually works
This is a very broad question. It depends on the situation and the person, really. The quickest answer I can give on this is whether it’s a gift, a gesture, or a kind word, make it genuine. That, to me, is how you express gratitude. Have a great day, everyone!

I try not to
This response will sound a bit flippant, but it actually isn’t meant to be. I ponder things and think deeply about some, but I try not to worry about them if I can help it. As a “seasoned” gorilla, I have learned that too much worrying is detrimental to both one’s mental and physical being.…

Steambath Sunday
Good day, all. Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday thus far. It’s a muggy, miserable one here. Temperature was already above 80 at 8am this morning, and last night’s rain has just added to the misery. đĨĩ The A/C is working overtime today, I’ll tell ya.
