    I cannot really think of anything specific to say for this prompt, so I will just take the opportunity to wish everyone a very nice day. I hope the weekend is treating you well.

    Stepped upon and cast aside No one even tries to hide Absolute and sheer disdain Serve no use, I’m just a pain All the years I gave my best Tossed aside just like the rest A young man’s world it has become God bless the bottle, keeps me numb They tell me that my time…

    When I awoke today I cried I realized that the dream had died I burned it down without regret It’s something I wish to forget Another foolish Neverland Ruined by a fate’s cruel hand Life in the clouds does not exist And if it did it’s one I missed If I had it all to…

    There’s a lot of simple things that might bring me some joy, but off the top of my head, I would say that writing and No Theme Thursday (although currently on hiatus) in particular, make me pretty happy. Have a nice day, everyone. ✌

    Good morning all. Or, evening if it’s later where you are. Hope everyone is having a great day, and TGIF! I am laying low today and cruising in recovery mode. Hopefully be back to 100 in a day or so here. In the meantime, I hope you have a ferocious, fantastically feral Friday! Have a…

    When people (or daily prompts) ask me one stupid question too many. 😋 That’s when I know it’s time to duck out and have one drink too many. Cheers, folks. Have a great day. 😊

    This one’s going to be short and sweet since I had a slight accident yesterday and am not feeling 100 at the moment. A friend is someone who sticks by you, doesn’t judge you, and doesn’t get all bent out of shape if you don’t call/text them immediately after they contact you. They may also…

    Good morning and Happy Hump Day, all. Hope the week has been pleasant for everyone so far. I’m debating a call out, myself. Mostly just because 😄 I hope y’all have a great day and come across some magic somewhere along the line!

    While I feel like I think about work enough as it is, I’ll go ahead and indulge the daily prompt gods. I’ve done my fair share of stuff, I suppose. I had the good old paper route when I was younger. I did my time on the restaurant circuit too. Almost thought about going to…

    What the hell does that mean? I have no freaking clue. Does it matter? Hell, no. đŸ¤Ŗ I got on a jag creating some submarine and water pics, so I went with it. Hope everyone had a nice long weekend and Tuesday is treating you well thus far. Personally, I slept like hellish, but whatever.…

    In a time when attention spans are shorter than Jason Statham’s hair. In a time when rudeness is as common as a WordPress glitch. In a time when no one remembers… One Gorilla Does. He remembers when a phone was just… A phone. He remembers when the cars were fast, and the women… Were faster.…

    Look up high, the day is done We say goodbye to setting sun A calming hush felt all around Among the trees there’s not a sound The world at rest, the world at peace For but a moment, sweet release Cherish silence where you can For soon, another day at hand Embrace this moment, drink…

    A classic theme for sure. Good day and happy Saturday to all. I hope this post finds you well. Today is the midway point of my work week, so I’m just grinding along to get to the end. 😆 If y’all have a long weekend, I hope you’re enjoying it and stay safe! If not,…

    …And everything in it. Hell Yeah. On a more semi-serious note, I think “having it all” means having a life that is as stress free as possible, with good folks around you, and being grateful for what you’ve been blessed with. Is more attainable? Well, a lot of that depends on us as individuals now,…

    I had a lot of thoughts in mind when I created this post. Now, I sit here and find I don’t have even one. Or I have a hundred too many. Hard to tell the difference sometimes when it all sounds like static. Maybe that’s why I started this post – I just wanted a…
