    She always walks enchanted wood Always in her crimson hood Her lips of red, her flowing hair Every night I see her there From a distance, scent so sweet A cracking twig beneath her feet Hunger always, every night Sweetest fruit I long to bite I gaze on her with eyes of red Fevered thoughts…

    With perhaps a touch of the medieval thrown in here and there. Good morning, WP Land. Hope everyone is well on this Saturday. A quiet morning here. Just listening to some music and doing some writing. The wrist stiffened up a bit overnight, so I am trying to loosen that up as well. I had…

    I think advice and guidance can come from many places. While we all likely have those few “go-to” people in our lives (the main driver of this question, I’m sure), there are some unlikely sources as well. Elders Of the likely sources, I’m sure a lot of us have parents, grandparents, etc., whom we have…

    A battlefield of broken dreams Where once we ruled and reigned supreme T’was not supposed to end this way Our destiny to win the day Betrayal left us unprepared Once brave men were running scared Tore into us like wild beasts A rabid hell they had unleashed Wretched bodies strewn about I hear another anguished…

    Good day one and all. I hope everyone is doing well as we prepare to wrap up the week and head into the weekend. I say “Kind Of” Fantastical Friday, because for me there’s good, and not-so good news. But first, a few images. We’ll get to the “less than” portion after that 😄 On…

    Until my candidacy for Mayor of WordPress is officially recognized. I will not endorse the casual whims of tyrannical despots while my lawful right to run for office is denied me! The people have spoken, and yet you continue to perpetuate this ridiculous charade and insult me and my constituents by ignoring the pleas…Nay! THE…

    I think we get directions from a lot of different places in life. People, written words, our own experience, etc. These things and many more can be sources of direction at various times in our lives. I don’t think there’s one clear cut source, nor would I want there to be. The more tools in…

    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…

    …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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…
