Beat the Count
1… Damn it, my head feels like it’s on fire. Fuck. Is that my blood? Is this even real? 2… Why are there clouds all around me? Is it raining? What the hell is this? 3… What the hell? I’m hearing voices. Where are you? Shit. This is my blood. 4… “Just stay down, boy.…

I’m on my way…
I’m on my way, home sweet home… And now that we got that out of the way, onto the topic at hand. My place is going to be a big old cabin high up in the mountains. My own “fortress of solitude”, if you will. High above the din of the everyday world. Wood paneling…

SLDS Challenge (02/16/24)
Back with my entry for Susan T. Braithwaite’s Spies, Lies and Digital Skies Challenge. I bitched plenty about last week’s prompt, and this week’s was even tougher. I spent way longer working on this one than that one. Thanks, Susan! 🙄😋 This week’s prompt: Undercover mission at a glamorous event. Seems simple enough, eh? Yeah,…

Her Name Is What, Now?
OK, so… While I would much prefer reading everyone else’s take on No Theme Thursday, I decided to take a stab at narrating one of these pics. I usually stick to poetry, so I am outside my wheelhouse here. Punctuation, structure, etc. will not be proper or pretty. You’ve been warned. Her Name Is What,…

Who ya gonna call?
Well, not those guys. Maybe later. 😉 The assumption here is my kid would already know, so first thing I am probably going to do is call my mom. And yes, I’m on a Spidey kick again today. My mom, because she’s always supported me and loves to hear when things are going well for…

Fantasy Friday (02/09/24)
TGIF, everyone! Hope the week was a good one and your weekend upcoming is even better. Today, we’ll take a trip back to the apothecary, pay a visit to the oracle, the priestess, and perhaps we’ll even encounter a gypsy caravan in our travels. There might be a little something for you romance fans out…

Sometimes we forget
While this entry will be included with next week’s No Theme Thursday submissions, after reading it, I was moved to reblog it now. Aasthawrites at Literary Evaluation Blog wrote a very touching and poignant letter to her mom, and it made me take pause for more than a moment to reflect. So oftentimes we get…

No Theme Thursday (02/08/24)
Good day and welcome to this week’s edition of No Theme Thursday! As always, the challenge is out there to you writers, poets, bards and storytellers to pick an image and provide it with a theme and context. We had some killer submissions last week! For those who did not see them, here is a…

Sugar Fix!!!
Now we have drifted into dangerous territory here, because I do enjoy me some junk food. Or pogie bait, as we called it in the service. 😄 My favorite candy is usually “Yes”, but for the sake of this post, I will narrow it down to two, and one honorable mention. I tend to flip…

Class Update (2 Weeks Left!)
So, we’re nearing the end of the road on this course I’ve been taking. Two weeks left, and then that’s all she wrote. I have started the practice exam for the final. It’s 16 sections and 86 labs. I’m almost halfway through. After that, I will start the final, which is also 16 sections and…

Wandering Wednesday
Good day to all! Here were are at the midpoint of the week, where we can say it’s all downhill from here. Today we shall merely wander. Through the mountains, through the woods, or wherever our imaginations take us. Perhaps we’ll even set a spell and rest in our travels. Stay awesome and have a…

There can be only one
I mean, as much as I’d love to go outside the box here, I have to go with the very thing that’s allowing me to post this here reply. Yep, gotta say the internet. We could debate from now until the end of time whether it’s for the better or for the worse, but no…

Purge
If you knew the hate I feel inside The hate I’ve always tried to hide The hate that courses through my veins My wish for you, eternal pain To see you suffer, see you bleed Deep inside that’s what I need To see you shattered like a glass To see you drowning while I pass…

Superhero Mosquito Monday
Wait. What?? Good morning, all! Hope everyone’s week is off to a fine start. Taking a bit of an offbeat, silly turn to start the week off. During a conversation with Mahalakshmi from Writing To Liberate about meditation, the subject turned to mosquitos of all things. 😄 During said conversation, she made a comment about…

A Day in the Life
Well, I guess any day above ground is a good start, really. 😄 For argument’s sake, I will take work and school out of this, since I am pretty sure most people’s ideal day doesn’t include it. After waking up, I’d be heading for the coffee pot: After that, I’d hit up the computer and…

Sci-Fi Sunday (02/04/24)
Good day and a happy Sunday to all! I hope the weekend is treating everyone well thus far. Today, we’ll venture into the ream of science fiction for a look at far-flung worlds, futuristic settings and daring adventurers. And there might be a xenomorph or two lurking in the shadows. 😬 Have a great day,…

Superhero Saturday (02/03/24)
Good morning one and all and welcome to another edition of superhero Saturday! I hope everyone’s having an incredible weekend so far! This week I’d like to give a shout-out to Amy over at “It’s Amy,” I said. for a dose of inspiration/motivation. In a recent exchange in the comments, Amy said she is a…

25-Day Burpee Challenge
And no, it doesn’t mean I am going to belch for 25 straight days. 🙄 I actually hate the name of this exercise, but I don’t like the alternative name either. “Squat thrust” just sounds a bit too, well… Moving on, then! They also, depending who you listen to/believe, are not exactly the same exercise…

Fantasy Friday (02/02/24)
Good day to all and welcome to Fantasy Friday! Finally, the weekend is almost upon us. I hope everyone has a restful and/or enjoyable one!

SLDS Challenge (02/09/24)
Once again this week I am partaking in Susan T. Braithwaite’s Spies, Lies, and Digital Skies Challenge. This week’s theme is: High-speed chase through a bustling city. This one pissed me off a lot. 😄 I can’t even count the number of attempts I took at this one. I tried every freaking scenario imaginable and…

Pizza, Please!
I actually enjoy cooking a lot of different things, but if I had to pick one, it would be pizza. An anyone who saw this post might have guessed, I do rather enjoy pizza in all it’s myriad forms. To that end, I will often make it myself and experiment with different toppings, breads, etc.…

Windswept Wings of Wednesday
A fine Wednesday to all! We’ve now hit that point in the week where it feels like the end is in sight and yet it’s still oh-so far away. We are eyeing that precious moment when we can make our escape from the daily doldrums and take a sip of sweet freedom. While we await…
