Quick Poem & An Update
You thought you had me down You thought you’d broke my will A sparkle in your eyes As you moved in for the kill Imagine your surprise When you felt the piercing blade The moment when you knew The mistake that you had made As you look into my eyes And see my bloodied grin…

Please allow me to introduce myself…
I’m an ape of wealth and taste. Apologies to Mick, Keith and the boys. Does WP have a thing about biographies? Are they owned by A&E or something? 😄 Honestly, it would probably be something like the above. Or some smart-ass remark about how the book you are now reading isn’t worth the paper it’s…

The Triple Threat
I don’t know that there’s any three objects that I couldn’t truly live without. If I were forced to pick, I would likely say phone, car, and a good pair of boots. To take it down a different path, I’ll just list three things that I feel are really nice to have, and they’re not…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (8)
T’was a light rain falling when Korv awoke. He had not slept well the night before and had to will himself to get out of bed, lest the temptation to stay there become too great. He made his morning brew, and decided to stand outside for a few moments and enjoy the quiet of the…

Superhero Saturday (03/02/24)
Happy Saturday all! Hope everyone got through the week ok and has a chance to rest up. I still have some hero pics in my stockpile that have not been posted, so I am here with another edition of Superhero Saturday! Not sure how many I have, but I think it’s a pretty fair amount.…

Growth Mindset
In this life, most anything can be an opportunity to grow if you look at it in the proper light. All day long we are observing and processing data, and either consciously or unconsciously, we are learning from it in some way or another. It is shaping our perceptions, which, in a sense, is a…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (7.1)
While he was relaxing after his training, Korv took some time to read the words of his fellow villagers. This was always an enjoyable portion of his day, as he often found inspiration, creativity and topics of deep thought to ponder. First, he read the words of Sir Edward the Guardian. Sir Edward was a…

Fields of Glass
Field of dreams like shattered glass A gaze into a broken past A life well lived in broken shards Beyond repair, not in the cards Fragments cutting, fingers bleed To see it whole there is no need You cannot fix it, do not try To try is just to live a lie Leave the pieces…

A Farewell To Fantasy Fridays (03/01/24)
Well, maybe not a total farewell to them, but a hiatus in the least. I’ve been doing some thinking about the direction of this little shindig for a couple weeks now, and I have also been talking to some fellow bloggers about it, and I am going to be changing some things up. With No…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (7)
Korv awoke this morning with a slight chill in his bones. Mother Nature had decided to play a cruel prank on the denizens of the realm, it seems! Where the day prior had brought rains, the temperature had been moderate. Today, however, the temperatures had dropped drastically, and the winds gusted with the fury of…

Which Way To Go?
There’s a line in the Sammy Hagar song “Give To Live” that says: “I believe in fate and destination, but so much of that lies in our own hands.” I kind of like that line and I subscribe to that theory. Perhaps the end of the road is predetermined, but perhaps how we get there…

The Sound of Daydreams
My pick from this week’s No Theme Thursday images. The Sound of Daydreams Out on the stoop, the setting sun Her favorite song, you know the one You know the tune, you know the beat You hear it up and down the street The song that takes her breath away The one that makes her…

Every week, you continue to set the bar higher and higher! As much fun as I have making up images, the real enjoyment for me is seeing them…

To Enjoy One’s Job…
One would need to have a job first. 🤣 Per yesterday’s post, I do not have one at the moment, so this question technically doesn’t apply to me. But I’m gonna answer anyhow. Currently, my days consist of drinking coffee, firing out applications, lifting some weights, and making blog posts. Pretty enjoyable, other than the…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (6)
Korv awoke to a rainy morn with the feeling that something was amiss. What, he did not know, but deep within his bones something did not feel right. He stretched, let out a loud yawn, and shrugged to himself. He made his normal morning brew and stared out the window, deep in contemplation. Korv truly…

In Her Words (NTTC – 02/22/24)
Good day, all. This week’s NTT challenge entries have been posted, but there is a late entry that I would like to make everyone aware of. NTT Vet Pooja G missed the deadline by the thinnest of margins, and I had already posted the thread containing last week’s entries. She still had a piece in…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (5)
Korv awoke the next morning happy and refreshed from his previous day’s ventures. He had met some more fine fellow townfolk, and caught up with his closest friend, which always warmed his heart and fueled his spirit. While he enjoyed his morning brew, he read more writings from his fellow villagers and found much inspiration…

Good day to all! Once again, it is time to roll out this week’s entries in the NTT Challenge! This is one of my favorite days of the week, as I get to post all your awesome submissions for the No Theme Thursday images. As always, we had a variety of different takes, and as…

Ape Overboard!
Oh, this one is easy, since I am going through it right now. Thanks for the lob, WP. 😄 Losing my job a couple months back has been a really tough thing to say goodbye to. While ultimately I am better off, that doesn’t change the fact that I had invested thirteen-plus years of my…

Over The Top Tuesday (02/27/24)
Good day, all! Hopefully Monday was not too terribly painful for everyone. I know that’s asking a lot for a Monday, but… 😆 No classes for me this week. I can go back next week and keep working on the current program I started before the “official” end of class. That will at least give…

To Sharpen The Blade Once More (4)
After a restful sleep, Korv made his rounds through the village, and he was thoroughly delighted to interact with his neighbors and tell them how much they inspired him. Truly, he was surrounded by some fine, fine folk. Korv also had the chance to meet some new neighbors, and he was greatly pleased to have…

EVH FTW
I know there will probably be a ton of replies saying we shouldn’t want to be anyone but ourselves, and some who would pick someone else for a much nobler cause, and I respect that 100%. I, however, and I am sure this will not shock much of anyone, would take the opportunity to be…

Mashup Monday (02/26/24)
Good morning all! Time to kick off another week. Hopefully it’s not too, too painful. We’re expecting some rain later this week, but the temps seem to be trending upwards slightly; 50s during the day and 30s at night. Good sleeping weather there! Anyhow, here’s hoping for a smooth week. Whatever you are, be a…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (3)
Feeling a renewed sense of purpose after his fight with the iron bastard, Korv returned home to rest and relax. He would eat and set about reading the prose written by the fine folks of his village. Korv made a simple meal for himself. While he enjoyed his treats, Korv knew that excess of anything…
