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…

I Suppose…
Work would count. Getting a better job was pretty cool and all. Have a great day, everyone!!!

It’s All About The Benjamins, Baby
Ok, ok…I admit it. That’s not the only thing that motivates me. But, it is a pretty important one, y’all gotta admit. 😄 Lots of different things motivate me. Helping others, or making their day a bit better. Trying to improve myself, whether physically, mentally, polishing/adding to my skill-set, or otherwise. There’s lots of motivations…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 08.19.24
To: All Field Operatives From: Gorilla HQ Red Baron French Bread Pizzas are bomb. Couple minutes in the microwave, and then a couple in the air fryer – Boom. No, no…Still not on the take. 🙄 Writing is the most rewarding/frustrating/fulfilling/maddening activity one can undertake sometimes, I swear. Rainy and 66°. Why yes, thank you…

At The Movies
I’ll answer it, but these are going to be in no particular order. I’m also going to cheat and put franchise films together. I’m also going to add and “honorable mentions” category. My blog, my rules. 😋 Die Hard 1 and 2 Godfather 1 and 2 Star Wars Original Trilogy Terminator and T2: Judgement Day…

I Don’t Know
What follows is my raw, “in the moment” emotions about this topic. To that, I will add that a lot of it is just me processing several conflicting thoughts and should be taken as such. Maybe seeing it in print will help me sort it out. I don’t know that I can accurately answer this,…

Gorilla Drive-By!
Good day, all! I wanted to check in and wish everyone well. It’s been a crazy week, as I have mentioned about 50 times by now, I’m sure 😄 The first week went well, but it has been a huge change. New people, new surroundings, total schedule flip. Lots all at once. My sleeping and…

A Quick Run Through
Hello and good day to all. I truly hope everyone is doing well. Second day on the job was good. A ton of training videos and a lot of information to take in. The team has been very welcoming and helpful thus far and I am quite grateful for that. Saw a bit of fireworks…

Hectic Gorilla Fun
Howdy, folks. I hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to say hi and wish you all the best. I have started my new position and things are quite hectic for me at the moment. Just a few days ago, I was working nights at the old job, and now I am working days…

I May Be Biased
My initial answer would be to say the military, but truth be told, there are a lot of admirable professions. Police, Firefighters, healthcare workers, teachers and so many more. Honestly, it’s often not even the profession as much as the person. Do they do their job to the best of their ability? Do they do…

What Lies Ahead
An open door in front of me What lies ahead, a mystery Another walk towards the unknown Security, aside I’ve thrown Abandoned comfort, left behind Far too late, can’t change my mind I raise my head and hold it high As I turn around and say goodbye What lies ahead, I soon shall see Through…

Nothing huge
At the end of the day, if someone can read something here and it makes their day a little bit better, then I am happy indeed. Have a great day, folks.

Can’t recall
Don’t recall how much, but more than likely it was a fancy Bavarian restaurant that sadly, is no longer in business. Good chow!

That feeling when…
You are trying to read or write and your eyes keep unintentionally crossing or blurring. That’s the struggle I’m having right now. 😄 I have been trying, with minimal success, to reply to comments for the past 45 minutes or so, and keep finding myself drifting off mid-reply. 😴 Anyone else ever have that? Methinks…

Picture Perfect (Reality In Autumn Night)
A picture perfect moment On a perfect Autumn night It is nothing but illusion Whims of fancy taken flight Reality is different It is often cold and cruel It will leave you feeling broken Leave you looking much the fool I once swallowed these illusions Now I’m wiser and I know That the world will…

No, thank you
This is one of those prompts where I feel like a reply could easily come off as boasting. Instead, I will just say I am thankful for random acts of kindness that others have bestowed upon me over the years. I hope everyone has a great day. Stay frosty.

A Moment of Gratitude
TLDR Version: Be thankful for what you’ve got, because others aren’t always so lucky. I thought about making a gorilla or moonweasel pic for this post, but upon further thought, I decided to try playing it straight for once. This morning I submitted my formal resignation to my current position. In the next few weeks,…

Recent Goings On
Hello all. Hope everyone’s been well. I have not had a ton of free time lately, so my posts and replies have been quite sporadic. For the TLDR folks: I’ve been wading through a bit of red tape, had some family functions to attend to, and recently went and saw Sammy Hagar in concert. For…

Wonky WordPress
Every login is a new adventure, I swear. So today, when trying to comment on posts, I keep getting told I am not allowed to. Yesterday, the “like” button was not working for me in Reader most of the morning. And while trying to write/edit posts, it is slower than molasses in January for some…
