Taking A Moment
Hi Folks, I had a really rough night at work and also received some bad news yesterday, so I am taking the rest of today off. I have a prompt response incoming that will explain a bit more clearly. Rest assured I will be back in a jiffy to answer comments, follow up on NTT…

School of Life
Went to “a” college, but never went “to” college… I never officially attended college. I took some courses for a few months starting last January, and I did enroll with the intent of going for an Associate’s after that, but I was never able to pull the trigger for various reasons. Chief among them being…

Kymber’s Get To Know You 48
This is my entry for Kymber’s Get To Know You, Edition # 48. Check our her blog for this, and other, fantastic posts! Notorious or unnoticed? If “notorious” has a negative connotation, then I think unnoticed is definitely preferable! Undercover of the night… Read thoughts or speak to animals? Well, since some people claim I…

All Work And No Play? (Updated: 01.02.25)
01/02/25: Added some pics and a few observations since this was posted a year ago. Observations in bold. For the last couple months I did not do much playing at all. I was too caught up in a maniacal quest that left me stressed, burnt out, sick and unemployed. I learned a lot of very…

NTTeaser: Coming 01.02.25
Hey folks, hope everyone is having a restful New Years Day. 😊 So, the other day I posted a little NTT teaser pic. In the spirit of fun, and to hopefully whet your appetites a bit more, I figured I would toss another one up there. The full post will be live tomorrow around 1:00AM…

Impending Storm
The above is another collaborative effort using Laura’s image and my words. This picture immediately made me think “storm”, which led to the work you see above. While it is a bit dark, this is the message the image sent to me when I looked at it. I hope you enjoy this piece.

New Year, New Challenges (Kinda, Sorta)
First and foremost, a very Happy New Year to one and all! May this year be a healthy, safe and prosperous one for you and yours. Now, since I am still banished from answering daily prompts, I figured I’d just freestyle it a bit. In my reply to this prompt last year, my biggest challenges…

Final Sunrise 2024
A few snaps as the sun rises on the final day of 2024. I had thought to write some reflections on this past year, but as I scroll through these pictures, I think they speak plenty all by themselves. Thank you for a wonderful 2024, and my best wishes for a safe and happy 2025.

Take Me Back (Updated: 12.31.24)
12.31.24: I had not planned on going back through these prompts once I discovered that I could no longer answer them. Someone has already busted my chops a bit about that. 😉 That said, it’s interesting to see where my mindset has changed and also where it’s stayed the same. I still have a real…

A Debt of Gratitude
Hello Everyone, I wanted to take a moment to once again express my gratitude to everyone for your recent kind words and well wishes. Thank you not only to Laura for the fantastic post, but to all of you for your wonderful comments. It truly means so much to me when I read all the…

It’s All Relative (Updated: 12/30/24)
12.30.24: This post is an interesting one for me to look back on for multiple reasons. First, I remember that back pain, and it was downright brutal. I did end up going to a chiropractor shortly after this post because my neck and back had made some days unbearable. Thankfully, that is now somewhat under…

Valhalla Morn
Special thanks to Laura for combining the words and picture in the above piece. The red sky in the above image spoke to me in tones of war. While there is nothing glamorous about warfare, there is a certain nobility to the warrior. To know the risks of battle and still step onto the field,…

Twilight
The above poem is Laura’s creation using photos that I provided. The way she put this together is quite fascinating and truly captures the various stages of a sunset. As I read it, the feel is very reminiscent of watching the sun go down in real time. As you read, you can almost feel yourself…

Is This Madden 24 Or Something?(Update: 12.29.24)
12.29.24: The Great Banishment continues, so I am updating this prompt from last year with a fresh coat of paint. This prompt makes me feel like I’m playing GM Mode in a video game here. Never mind that it doesn’t even ask you what sport this team would be playing or anything. Anyhow, I am…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 12.28.24
From: Gorilla HQ To: All Forward Units The feeling when you discover that the “Likes” aren’t sticking again. 🙄 Seriously. Is a like button really that difficult to figure out? I’m no web design guru, but it seems like a pretty standard function these days. The Disregard of Subscribing In the past three days, I…

Eh…No Thanks.
Politics? As the old saying goes: Nothing good can come from this. 😄 To each their own, but for me, I prefer to stay out of the political fray. Far too divisive, and these days more than ever. Instead, I will merely wish everyone a great day and leave you with some Van Halen. 🤘😎🤘…

Iron Gorilla War Machine Chronicles
OR: I Really Need To Start Exercising Again. One of the sucky things about not having felt too great the past few weeks, along with the typical work and holiday nuttiness that so many of us know, is the fact that I wasn’t able to do much exercising. I had a pretty good cadence going…

Over The Mountain (Updated: 12/27/24)
12/27/24: The Great Prompt Banishment continues, so I am revisiting last year’s answer and making some updates. Pics, etc. Any new additions to the body of the post will be in bold. If or when I get to build my own reading and writing space, it’s going to look a little something like this… It…

Today
Now that Laura has been able to post again, I wanted to share one of our recent collaborative efforts. Even though neither of us has been able to be online a lot as of late, and we’ve both had our own creative struggles, we did manage to put together a few things that I enjoyed…

The Post-Holiday 2024 Wrap Post
As I type this post, it is slightly after midnight, December 26. I am enjoying a late evening burger and reflecting on the day that’s preceded me. Deep in thought. Side note: Garlic aioli is mighty good on a burger. The holidays this year were a bit off kilter for a variety of reasons. Thanksgiving…

Olds 442 FTW (Prompt Reply: Updated 12.26.24)
12/26/24: Added a pic and a video. Otherwise, post is the same as last year, and it’s still my favorite car. My all time favorite car has to be the 1975 Oldsmobile 442. It was my first ever car and it was a beauty. 455 with a 4-barrel carb and 69,000 original miles when I…
