Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 06.25.24
From: Gorilla HQ To: All Forward Units It’s hard to bring your A-Game when they keep letting the B and C Leaguers onto the field. Days are getting shorter. Finally. I’m in the minority, I know. 2,024 push-ups? Happening. Not today though. Settling for 200-plus triceps extensions. TRICEPS OF DOOM. Knew a guy once who…

Over The Top Tuesday: 06.25.24
Good morning and happy Tuesday to all. Hope the week has been off to a nice start for you all. I’m off today, so I am trying to get some stuff done, and I have some business to attend to that might lead to a change for me. We shall see what we shall see.…

Stormy Sunday
Well, maybe. đ All quiet now but we have severe storm and tornado warnings for the next three to four hours, so we’ll see how that goes. Hopefully it’s a big dud, but if you see me taking air you’ll know otherwise đ¤Ē Have a good one y’all!

Don’t Care
Not caring is sometimes one of the greatest forms of self-care one can bestow upon themselves. Don’t agree? Wait a sec… Yep. Just checked. I don’t care. đ Have a great day, everyone!

Where’s Your Fire?
Some days you just have enough and need to let it out. More and more lately, I encounter people who have grandiose ideas, wild ambitions, and signs that they’ve found their true calling. In and of itself, that would be awesome and I applaud that. The problem comes when they hit a roadblock or realize…

Sweatshop Saturday
Good day all! Hope everyone’s weekend is going well so far. Its been a hot, muggy week around here for the most part. Much like several other areas of the country, we’ve been having a bit of a heatwave. If you are still in the midst of it, remember to be careful and stay cool,…

Decisions, Decisions
The toughest call I hope to make tonight… Hope everyone’s Friday is going well!

Holten’s Chop House Smashed Burgers are the freaking bomb. And no, I’m still not on the take. Kinda disappointed, actually. đ When you like and comment on a 5-minute read within 25 seconds of it going live… My ode to Summer Solstice: đđ Anyone else recall the days when Max was just plain old Cinemax?…

Commuter’s Blues
I’m on the road, I go to work I sit in traffic like a jerk I hate the cars, the people too I feel like I am getting screwed I want to sit at home and play I have to show up every day I owe the man who cuts my check I work from…

Wave It Off Wednesday
Good morning, all. Why “Wave It Off Wednesday” you might be asking? Because I am waving off the fight and giving up for today. đ My dumb ass thought it would be fun to get my fingers crunched by a a metal plunger an hour before going home today. đ On the upside, I don’t…

Temperance
Right now, I am perfectly happy to just exist and let the world do whatever it will. Sometimes we need to get off the merry-go-round and just…Be. Passions are a great thing to have, but there’s something to be said for just hanging back and flowing along once in awhile. Call it temperance, call it…

50K All The Way!
So, I got a little notification from WP yesterday evening. Needless to say, I owe everyone out there a huge thank you for all the views, comments and likes! Without all of you and your support this would never have happened. I am beyond grateful and happy that you have all chosen to visit me…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 06.18.24
Spending the first six hours of your shift unscrewing everyone else’s stupidity and laziness is really annoying. CELTICS, BABY!!! đ Buzzwords. They lose their impact when used excessively. I’m sure some of you can empathize. đ Heat Index of 105? GTFO of here with that shit. 2,024 push-ups in one day? Hmmm…Maybe. đ¤ NTT. Tick,…

You Can Never Get Too Low…
Note: Another repost. I changed a couple small things and added an image. Hopefully someone, somewhere gets something out of this piece. Originally posted 01/08/24. For the past couple of days I have been struggling a bit with what to write. I’ve mostly been responding to the daily prompts and playing around with image creator…

Not a fan
Man, I hate these type of prompts. They’re so freaking difficult to answer without coming off like a pompous ass. I think I will just wish everyone a happy Monday (if there is such a thing?) and call it there. đ Take care, y’all. đ

The Perils of External Validation
Note: Something I read today brought this old post to mind, so I decided to put it up again. Changed the featured image and made some small edits, but the piece remains unchanged beyond that. Everyone loves to be loved. It’s just a simple fact of life. We humans are social creatures and we need…

The Barbarian’s Guide To Good Living
Men of iron and maidens so fair, I bid thee hail! As I wander this world in search of treasures so fine and adventures far flung, I encounter many a varied soul. Good folk some, and others less so. By the grace of the gods and their beards ever epic, most have been the former.…

Father’s Day ’24
Amidst the pain, amidst the strife When the world has cut me like a knife Amidst the doubts, amidst the fear I am ever grateful you are here We almost lost you long ago The tears I cried you’ll never know So many nights of restless sleep So many nights I’d lay and weep So…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 06.15.24
Not long ago, I had a conversation (multiple, actually) with someone whose opinion I value quite highly. The conversation revolved around the recent feeling that I have had to tiptoe around my own blog for fear of upsetting or offending people. Mind you, some of this could just be my perception as I have had…
