Kymber’s Get To Know You #37
What would you do if you woke up one morning and could read minds? Some people say that I actually can already. 🤷♂️ What is something that always makes you smile? Making other people happy, getting nice messages from special people, a good pizza, and money. 😄 If you could live in a book, TV…

How About “Less” Attention?
I feel like this is part B of the recent prompt that asked “what things could you do more of?” I mean, I feel like the answers are going to be similar for a lot of folks: And those are all very valid answers to a degree. However… I am going to go in a…

Kymber’s Get To Know You #36
Sure! I’ll play along too! What type of food would you NEVER eat? I can’t say “never” because I actually tried it once, but I can say “never again” to seaweed salad. If I had followed my instincts and stuck with “never”, my life, and palate, would be much better for it. What is your…

Define “Work”
This is a bit of a tough one, because when one thinks of “work”, a job often comes to mind. At least, that’s what my mind defaults to. My perspective on jobs has changed a lot in the past nine months or so. I now tend to view them more as a means to an…

Hate These Questions
Well, these types of questions, really. First, I don’t really like talking about myself in that fashion. Second, I don’t really know that any one trait truly stands out. I’m thinking, I’m thinking… If I were to just sum it up quickly and cleanly, I would probably just say that I think I am a…

Most Likely None
I recall this being asked before, and I’ll be damned if I can remember exactly what I said, but I’m sure it was similar to the following. I don’t think I would consider working if money didn’t matter. I think instead, I would focus on doing things I just plain like to do. I’d love…

A Couple Things
I am sure there’s more than a few, actually. But for the sake of brevity, I will keep it to only a couple. Exercise: While I always get at least a couple sessions in weekly, it’s nowhere near the volume and frequency I’d like. I used to always be good about getting 5 -7 in…

On This First Fall Day
On this first Fall day, I would like to take a moment to reflect and celebrate the coming of the Autumn. As I stated in this post a couple weeks back, I do not see Autumn as an end, but as a beginning. The full, vibrant colors. The crisp, clean air. The scents and sounds…

Shut Your Mouth
And open your ears. (No, I don’t, nor have I ever, had an earring. 🤷♂️) Anyhow… This is one of those pieces of advice that comes up all the time in one’s life. Or at least it does in mine. Even more these days with the advent of “active listening”, “soft skills”, etc. in the…

Treat Yourself Like a Friend
09/21/24: This is an older post I wrote back when I first started this blog. The tone of my site has changed a lot since I wrote this, but in light of recent events, and on the off chance it may help someone else, I am going to go ahead and repost it. Sometimes when…

Random Thoughts From GHQ: 09.21.24
First and foremost, I hope everyone is well and having a good day. I wish to thank you all for your kind words and well wishes. I needed a moment away, and you all were all very understanding, which means a great deal to me. After a few days away and some time to workout,…

Random Thoughts From GHQ: 09.14.24
Deviating a bit from my usual format for this one, so bear with me. Thanks. It’s also a bit on the long side, so be forewarned. As some have noted in recent weeks, a lot of my writing has carried a darker tone, and a lot of my comments refer to being discouraged. Guilty as…

Tell me how great you are…
Truly. 🙄🙄 When someone feels the need to justify their worth/importance/value, etc., I just tune out, because 99.9% of the time, it just screams massive insecurity to me. There’s a lot of other behaviors that raise one’s hackles, but this is the one that immediately came to mind. Have a great day y’all!

I Got Tagged
Someone decided to tag me when I wasn’t looking and confused the hell out of me. Then, someone else decided to get me when I wasn’t looking again. So, I suppose I should probably get my dead ass moving and pony up some answers here. 😄😄 Apologies for the delay. I’ve been… Well, I’ve been…something,…

Whatever I Want
Doing whatever I want, whenever I want, with whomever I want. I think that covers most of the bases 😋 Have a great Sunday, people! 💪

A Thank You To All
Coming off a record-setting No Theme Thursday, it seemed like the appropriate time to take a moment and extend my sincerest thanks to each and every one of you who participates on this page in any way. Whether it is writing something for NTT (or multiple somethings!), your likes and kind words in the comments,…

Techno Tuesday: 09.03.24
Good morning and a happy Tuesday to all. I hope if you had a long weekend, it was an enjoyable one! Back to work for me today. After this week I will be flipping over to nights for a bit, before landing on my normal rotation, so my schedule is gonna be upside down for…

For My Grandfather
I’ve seen the pictures of you holding me when I was born. I miss the days of riding with you on the tractor when I was very little. Life was so simple then. I remember when you built the hearth in our old house. You laid every brick like the master craftsman that you were.…

Steampunk Saturday: 08.24.24
Good morning, all. Hope everyone is well on this Saturday. Been a busy week here with the new job and all. Also having some back issues at the moment, so I am taking it fairly easy today. Doing pretty much what needs to be done and laying low other than that. I hope whatever you…
