Happy Hump Day (05/01)
Good morning and happy hump day! Wednesday is here and upon us again. The downhill march to the weekend begins. It’s pretty quiet here today. I’ll be heading to bed at some point since I am hopping over to nights starting this week. Thankfully, it’s a two-day work week, so I have to get through…

NTT Challenge: 04/25/24 Edition
Welcome one and all to this week’s NTT recap for 04/25. I think this is the most posts we’ve ever had thus far for an NTT, so thank you one and all! I am blown away by the response this receives, and even more so this week. A standing ovation for everyone! 👏👏👏 We had…

Some days you’re the dog…
…Some days you’re the hydrant. Van Halen – Bullethead I think that sums it up quite nicely, don’t you? 😄 I admit, I do rather like that one, but I also find quotes from a lot of other sources that I like as well. Marcus Aurelius Seneca Nietzsche Conan The Barbarian (Robert E. Howard) Conan…

Over The Top Tuesday (04/30)
Good morning and welcome to the last day of April. Hard to believe this year is already almost half over, 2024 has already been a pretty wild ride thus far. Extreme ups, downs and everything in between. But we’re all still here swinging for the fences and that’s what really matters. A quiet, cloudy day…

Holiday Road
If I had to pick I’d say Thanksgiving and Christmas. Not as much for the holidays themselves, but because I like that time of year and the weather it brings. Plus, I get a ton of time off from work around those holidays too. 😉 I’d also give a shout out to Halloween, because it’s…

You Are The Reason
I am the thing that you cannot contain Born from your fire, born from your pain I’m an eternal smashing machine Power unhinged on the verge of obscene I hold doom in my hands and hate in my heart Destruction to me is a work of sheer art You try to deny me, yet always…

Six Song Sunday (On A Monday)
Because: My blog, my rules. 😛😄 I wanted to get this out yesterday, but time and all that. So, today it is. Per usual, I am just going to toss out some tunes y’all may not have heard of, or have not heard in a minute or two. Hopefully you can find something enjoyable to…

Medieval Monday
Good morning, all. Monday is back in all it’s soul-stealing glory. Personally, I am off today, so my soul is a bit luckier than some of you I guess. Today I have to start figuring out a new sleep schedule for my transition to nights later this week. Luckily, it’s my short week, so I…

Camping? Why yes…
In high school we called it “drinking in the woods.” After high school we called it “War.” So yeah, anyhow, I have been camping a few times in my life besides that. There used to be some nice spots around here to go chill out for a few days. I’ve not gone in ages, but…

Broken Free
A reckoning at hand The hour has arrived They thought him to be dead But somehow he has survived The deepest depths of Hell Have been ripped and torn asunder Broken is the yoke That he had been living under Vengeance is at hand Moving with impunity Pray that you survive For the beast has…

Sci-Fi Sunday Redux
It’s been a minute or two, so I figured what the hell. Good morning all. I hope everyone is doing well. I’ll be off to, or at work, by the time most of you see this. My best wishes for a safe and restful Sunday to you all. I’ll be here grinding away. Don’t mind…

What a Production
Usually I feel most productive when I am doing real work, aka: manual labor. Administratively, I’m not gonna lie, I am pretty damned good. But as far as feeling like I have accomplished something, it’s when I’m on the line exerting myself a bit. There’s also the added bonus of getting to help the guys…

I Leave To Mend
The world that is I leave behind I wish to seek my peace of mind I agonized to stay or go How I struggled you don’t know The wounds upon me left a mark Alone and grasping in the dark I’ve been cut deeply to the bone My time has come to be alone Within…

Sleepytime Saturday
The downside to an easy job. Sometimes it can be a bit TOO easy 😆 I suppose it’s better than everything going to Hell in a handcart, but damn, it can get boooooring. I finished all my training stuff for the moment and everything is going smoothly. Good problem to have, but it also makes…

Forever Proud
I sail across the crystal sea A new adventure beckons me Awash in gold and emerald treasure A bounty full of wine and pleasure I left my home so far away Ever onward from this day I’ll claim my prize and claim my crown No mortal man can strike me down My axe rules all…

Saturday of Steel
Good day to all. Hope Saturday is treating you well. Personally, I am on the way to work very soon. Oh, yay. 🙄😆 Oh, well…5 days off next week. I’ll be making my return to the nighttime world at that point. Late Night Heavy Metal Gorilla King of the Nighttime World Hope everyone else has…

As deep as a mud puddle
Some of these topics are. Anyhow, I’ll play along 😋 Probably 😆😉😋🙏😊 in no particular order. But aside from those and the good old🖕 My fave has to be 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Overlord
I sit upon my granite throne A force unlike you’ve ever known I took your heart and stole your mind Never have you seen my kind Imbued with powers so obscene Your every thought I have foreseen I’m everywhere, you cannot hide I know what moves you deep inside Deep within, can’t be ignored Now…

Fast & Furious Friday
Well, that’s the hope at least, eh? 😄 Good morning, all. Happy Friday and all that great stuff. 👍 Today is my three day weekend stretch, so I’ll be working aplenty. Essentially, I’m on lockdown for a few. Ah, well. Such is life. Hope everyone else is able to have a great weekend! Personally, I…

Finally!
Taking a moment to be thankful that it’s not another prompt about risk. It’s not the most scintillating, but at least it’s different. So, let’s get down to it, shall we? Music Yes, I love music. Playing it, listening to it, discussing it. Particularly 80s rock/metal and all things Van Halen. Infuckingdeed. 🤘 Workouts Weights,…

Warm Goodnight
A streak of red across the sky A scarlet hue which caught my eye The coming of impending night Fading slivers, precious light Reflecting in the reddish glow Thoughts that only I can know Time to think and time to dream Lost within the crimson stream My mind has started taking flight As you kiss…

With her blessing, I am posting it here. Destiny, thank you, and we look forward to your return when you are ready and able.…

Firewatch
I sit up with the rising sun This firewatch is almost done Inhale the smoke from cigarette Another night I’ll soon forget I watch the minutes crawl along I think of old forgotten songs Anything to pass the time I swear this boredom is a crime All the boys are fast asleep I’m off to…

Oh, come on now…
Really? No. Not doing it. Get the hell out of here with that silly shit. You really couldn’t be more repetitive if you tried, WP. But, please don’t try, for I fear you would prove me wrong and lower the bar even further. Get the hell outta here.
