WTF Is Leisure?
Beats the hell outta me, man. I kid, of course. Well, kinda. 😄 Lord knows I have bitched plenty about my current, not so favorable, schedule on these pages. It still wouldn’t be stellar, but it would be a damn sight better if it were daytime hours. Alas, sometimes we gotta do what we gotta…

John Sykes, criminally, in my opinion, was not a household name like Edward Van Halen or Randy Rhoads,…

That Feeling When…
You drive to work in a snow storm, work 12.5 hours, finally thaw your car out, and when you’re one street from home… Someone slides into your car. 🙄 What a way to end your 60 hour work week. 😄 Howdy, folks. Hope everyone is well. As I stated up top, this was my long…

Serenity
I hope everyone enjoys this poem. It was a distinct pleasure to put words to Laura’s beautiful photograph. I hope I did this fine image justice. As many of you likely saw from Laura’s recent post, she has been a bit under the weather as of late, in addition to a hectic work schedule. She…

Funny You Should Ask!
Damndest thing. I was just thinking “Gee…Maybe I’ll post more photos.” What a coincidence! How kind of you to ask, WP. 😄

Ode To Our Lands
01/16/25: This was one of the first times I actually wrote a post for my own NTT challenge, and it is one I have always been quite proud of. To mark one year of NTT, I am reposting it again today. Again this week, I am going to take a shot at an image for…

No Theme Thursday: 01.16.25 (First Anniversary Edition)
Greetings all, and welcome. Almost one year ago this week, I published my very first No Theme Thursday post. This was never meant to be a challenge, really. It was just an excuse for me to post images I had generated. Most other days of the week had a theme at the time, but I…

PSA: Likebombing, Spam Liking, Etc.
Now, aside from the occasional snap decision to pull a post when I doubt the content before thinking it through, I consider myself a fairly easygoing fellow. Lately, I haven’t been able to check in daily, so when I do make it back, there is nothing more frustrating than seeing that your notifications are completely…

Battle Tested
01/15/25: I took this post down a few days ago because upon rereading it, I was not sure that I had really sent the message I wished to. At the time, I was not completely satisfied with it. I had debated editing or deleting it and starting over again. To be fair, I have been…

Why, yes. Yes I do.
So nice of you to ask, WP! As a matter of fact, I do have some random images of the moon from the last few nights to post. Thanks! 👍 Didn’t feel like rehashing the prompt from last year today, so I figured I would take the opportunity to post some pics instead. Have a…

I Can Stop Anytime I Want
01.12.25: And thus… A Pizza Revolution began. Came back to add a bit of gorilla magic and reformat the poem. 01.12.24: I just don’t happen to feel like it yet. I do not wish to stop consuming pizza. From a parlor, from a chain From a freezer, I don’t care I’ll consume it anytime I’ll…

A Cure For All Your Ills! (Update: 01/11/25)
01/11/25: No offense, but if I did have a business idea, crazy or otherwise, I certainly wouldn’t be sharing it in the Daily Prompt! 😄 On that note, have a fantastic day, folks!

NTT and the Realities of Life
As No Theme Thursday approaches it’s one-year anniversary, I have had to sit back and take stock of a few things recently. I’ve tossed a lot of thoughts around in my head and I keep coming to the same conclusion: It’s time to make some changes. Wracking the old brain box… As I am sure…

I’ve Still Got It (Updated: 01/10/25)
01/10/25: Bumping this one up because I rather like it, and wanted to add a bit of gorilla magic. RIP, EVH. Still missing you. I don’t know how far back WP wants us to go in the Wayback Machine here, but I’m stopping round about my 20s. My blog, my rules. The one item I…

Man On A Mission (Updated: 01/09/25)
01/09/25: I wasn’t going to post anything other than my NTT today, but I’m going to bring this one back from the dead for two reasons: First, I really needed this reminder today. Second, I wanted to put the VH video in because I didn’t include it last year. 🤘😉🤘 01/09/24: I love it when…

Please have your entries up by 01/14/25 so that I can round up and post them. Thanks! Here’s this week’s selections. Hope you like ’em!

Alive Or Just Breathing?
01/08/25: Ironic that lately I have felt like I am “just breathing”. The timing of these prompts is sometimes interesting, to say the least. Post is unchanged from last year. The name of that Killswitch Engage album is always in the back of my head. When I feel low, I often find myself asking “Am…

NTT Showcase: 01.02.25 Edition
Hey folks. Welcome! It’s been a very wild week since returning to work from holiday. Currently, I feel like I am neither here nor there as far as, well…everything. 😄 Trying to shake it off and get back to whatever passes for normal, but in the meantime, I’ll be tumbling down the stairs sideways! Thank…

Review: Ink Stained Love
Yes, gorillas can read. I will preface this by stating that I have never written a review for anything before, so this is completely new territory for me. The following are just a few thoughts I wished to share. Ink Stained Love is the first published book by our very own Ernest Federspiel, AKA: E-Dawg,…

What’s The Difference? (Update: 01/07/25)
A moment of contemplation 01/07/25: Looking back on this post today with a hint of irony, as I am currently taking stock of where I’m at with some things and questioning myself. I don’t really know that I have accomplished what I set out to do. Have I improved? Have I made a difference? Am…

Daylight
Good day to all. I hope you enjoy this collaboration that I am presenting to you today. Once again, Laura was able to match some beautiful words to the image I provided. The picture was taken last week early in the morning when I was outside enjoying some cool, quiet air. The feeling of serenity…

What Ever Do I Want? (Updated: 01/04/25)
01/24/25: I wasn’t going to mess about with the daily prompt today, but I am looking back on it now in the wake of hearing that a former coworker of mine has passed away. His name was Paul, and I knew him for almost 15 years. He was stricken with an aggressive bout of cancer…
