Mechaphysical Monday
Good day one and all. Welcome to the start of yet another week! Hopefully Lady Monday is not too cruel a mistress to you. My three day stretch is done and now I’m off for a couple. And not a moment too soon, I dare say. Why “Mechaphysical” you might be asking. Well, why not?…

More Weight!
Lifting more weight. Why? Because lifting weight makes me happy. Or, to put it another way, remain consistent with my workouts. I’ve been on a pretty good roll lately, but as I adjust to this new schedule, I have had to cut back slightly. That is fine short term, but long term, not my ideal…

Starstruck Sunday
Good morning and welcome to Sunday, everyone! Hope the weekend has treated you all well and it’s been an enjoyable, relaxing one. One more shift to go and then I get my next taste of freedom. Working every other weekend has its downside, but the 5 days off the next week help make up for…

Of Ragnarok
In evening dark the storm clouds rise The shift it comes before my eyes A fleeting glimpse as light turns dark A thunder god shall leave his mark Upon the earth with heavy rains Soaked in fury, drenched in pain A battle wages from on high Away from mortals, in the sky A battle we…

For the Mothers
You nurture us, you care for us You teach us right from wrong And when we cannot sleep at night You soothe us with a song You provide for us and care for us You make sure we are fed You give a loving home to us And tuck us in our bed When monsters…

A multifaceted question
This is one of those questions that could have multiple meanings. Living in a free, or “free” country? The freedom to go where I want, when I want? Financial freedom? The freedom to hang out with whomever I choose to, regardless of race, sexual preference, religion or opinion? At the end of the day, the…

Fantastical Friday (05/10)
Good morning and welcome to Friday. To those of you whose week is ending, enjoy! To those who are stuck working, welcome to the club. I’ll be doing my time until Monday morning and then I’m off for a few. The weather is basically going to suck anyhow, so whatever, I says. 😄 Personally, I…

To Simpler Times
It used to be so easy, you know? All I had to do was show up with a contract and they’d sign without fail. Like that Johnson kid. All I had to do was wait at the crossroads, parchment in hand, and it was a done deal. Man, could he play a mean guitar. Okay,…

Reader and Notifications – WTF?
Man, I’m already in a lousy mood today from lack of sleep and now, I log back in to see yet more surprises with Reader and Notifications. Reader is suddenly slow AF. I mean like snail caught in molasses slow. And no, I am not having trouble with any other pages. Me waiting for Reader…

Simplicity/Synchronicity
Connected by a force unseen Wonder what it all could mean In many forms and many ways Feelings with us all our days A first encounter, second glance Is it fate or is it chance? Watching life move down the street A taste of coffee, sugar sweet Is it really intertwined? Or just a product…

Screw Unto Others
There was a time I used to care A time when I thought life was fair I thought we all played by the rules And then I realized we were fools The rulebook really is a joke A hall of mirrors, cue the smoke If you really do wish to succeed To my words you…

No Theme Thursday: 05/09/24
And we’re back with this week’s edition of No Theme Thursday. Your weekly dose of randomness and imagery, where there is no point and there is no theme, unless you give it one! Hope everyone’s week has been good so far. This is my long week to work, so my weekend is already locked down.…

Wherever the road leads
Right now, since I am just getting back to work after a brief hiatus, I’m just taking things as they come. I’m learning the business and gathering skills and knowledge where I can. I don’t know that I have found my ultimate destination yet, so I keep my eyes open for options. Part of me…

Hate Unbound
Awash in this insanity I feel alive, I feel so free A paradise consumed in blood You’re drowning in the crimson flood The lava coursing through your veins I find my pleasure in your pain Feel it scorching deep within Pay the penance for your sin Your screams are music to my ears I dine…

Take a wild guess
If anyone needs more than one guess to figure this one out, well…clearly you have not been paying attention. 😆 Yes indeed, it was Van Halen on their 2015 tour, which sadly, turned out to be their last. It was a beautiful night out, and they sounded great. And thanks to Wolfgang Van Halen picking…

Battle Song
https://thebeginningatlast9.com/2024/05/02/no-theme-thursday-05-02-24/ I heed the call of battle song I journey through this valley long For fighting I was born and bred A sharpened blade to sever heads Amidst the grime, amidst the gore I find my peace when I’m at war

Intangible Tuesday
Good morning all. Happy Tuesday! Hope the week is going well for you so far. It’s fairly quiet here. Just working and doing my thing. In the midst of a cloudy stretch around here. Could be a rainy week, which is ok by me – knocks the damned pollen down. Don’t forget to have your…

Community Service
Sounds like a sentence when one says it that way 😆 Honestly, not much. When you’re a creature of the night, it’s hard to connect with the rest of the world in general. Nature of the beast and all that. I used to be involved with some non-profits back in the day, but not so…

Two Answers
Answer # 1 – Eddie Van Halen’s Guitar Tech Now, sadly, this one would require a time machine. That said, I would have loved the opportunity to spend a day seeing the master at work. To touch the instruments that laid down so many killer riffs and solos, and to just be around The Man…

SLDS Challenge: 05.10.24
Taking part in this week’s edition of Susan’s SLDS Challenge after missing the last few. This week’s prompt is: Evading Surveillance in a Crowded Market The first couple attempts were a bit rough, as it couldn’t quite pin down what I was looking for. A beanie and trenchcoat? In Kashmir at midday? Not unless heat…
