Ninja Toxicity
One topic I seem to hear coming up over and over in discussions with my friends is the topic of “weird vibes” and subtle airs of toxicity either in their personal or professional lives, and sometimes in both. “Toxicity” is one of those buzzwords I try to avoid, but unfortunately, it’s often the most accurate…

The Wait For Freedom
You think this cage can hold me? Do you think these shackles bind? Do you think I cannot see it? Do you really think I’m blind? Your lips speak self-assurance I can see within your eyes I can see the fear you carry Filled with fear that I will rise That I will rise up…

Drifter In Black
AKA: Ode to the Spaghetti Western As the church bells toll twelve Hush falls over the street The crowd gathers around In the hot summer heat How the hell it began No one really quite knows There’s a wind from the east As the tumbleweeds blow The drifter in black Six-gun slung at his side…

Upon Mountain High
A darkened night on mountain high A raven’s view of Hell I’ve seen this view a thousand times Indeed I know it well I watch the battles far below They seem to never change Crusades are launched in name of love Sometimes in name of rage Some battles I have taken up Sometimes I’ve walked…

Very little
All you really need is yourself, your health, and your sanity and you’re off to a pretty good start. Have a great day, folks.

Creator’s Lament
Another thought has come and passed Another bourbon in the glass An empty page stares at my face Mocking with it’s endless space A purest magic at the start Who knew my muse would soon depart? The gaslights flicker in the street My hidden muse I ache to meet She’s a fickle one, I’ve learned…

Highway Parchment Blues
I’ve been on this road forever For damnation and a day It’s a road that’s too familiar And it only leads one way At a rest stop met a devil In his eyes a wicked gleam He was selling me a promise Everything of which I dreamed No downpayment he required Said we’d settle up…

A Chance Meeting
Good day to all! I hope this post finds everyone well. I wanted to take a moment to share the above post with you all. It is a collaborative effort between myself and Laura from Black Moon Lilith. It is a fantasy tale/poem, and sort of a prologue to what may become a short story.…

Thirty Freaking Minutes
That is all I saw for 30 freaking minutes last night when I clicked on anything. And I was not having a problem with any other web pages at all. Just the same, I cleared everything, logged out and back in, etc. Nada. After about half an hour, I gave up and called it a…

Frozen Friday
Wishful thinking on my part. Mostly because I am over Springtime, pollen, and promises of rains that will not come. Just enough rain to make it humid. Thanks, Nature. Now I’m stuffy and sweaty. 🙄 Hope everyone is having a great day thus far. Back to the old grind for me tonight. Working the weekend,…

Me, Myself & I
Mostly spend a fair amount of time with myself and my thoughts, and usually tend to prefer it this way whenever I can. Solitude is not the same as loneliness, and everyone craves a different level. Have a fantastic day, everyone.

Really, WP Reader? Really?
A two hour gap and not one single solitary thing was posted? Somehow, I find that highly difficult to believe. And now, posts are randomly updating at a pace akin to watching paint dry. Way to absolutely kill everyone’s views. Stellar. Add it to the pile…

The Final Song
You’ve eluded me for far too long Every night, your haunting song Your taunting laugh within my ears Always try to stoke my fears You took away all that I had Tried your best to drive me mad A coward true, you always run You hide until the setting sun With evening comes your misery…

No “No Theme Thursday” Thursday?
Yes, it’s confusing to me too. How the hell did I get here? Good day, all. I hope this Thursday is being kind to you all. I am off today, and have as little as possible planned. 😄 I’m hoping to get a bit of writing done, and praying for rain to knock this pollen…

Something Simple
Oh, nothing too fancy. I think High Lord Gorilla King of All Time, Space and Reality will suffice. Don’t want to over-complicate things, you know. Have a great day, everyone! May you conquer whatever realm you have chosen!

The Final NTT Entries Post!
Well… For now. 😉 It seems strange for me to be typing this, but here’s the last round of entries for No Theme Thursday before it goes on hiatus. It will be a brief one, but all the same, it feels weird, I must admit. Before we get to the main event here, I want…

Goin’ Ghost Wednesday
Always a good time when an employee comes at you like an angry hornet. Good morning, and goodnight, from this tired gorilla. I think the above says it all. 😄 Love when people get pissed about something that’s their own damn fault. Consider this a dovetail off yesterday’s post. On that note, I hope your…

Ten Ton Headache Tuesday
Some days I really can’t believe some of the crap that I see and read. It’s almost enough to give one a literal headache. The pettiness, the vitriol, the sheer arrogance and self-centered nature of some people really blows my mind. Particularly when they run around waving any assorted flags of positivity, empathy, sympathy, freedom…

I sense a trend here
And much like yesterday’s reply, the answer is the same: No, not really. I’ve always enjoyed reading, and while there may have been some books I favored over others, I really cannot recall them, Have a great day, everyone.

I can’t recall one
Nevermind three. While I do enjoy reading, I cannot recall any one book that had an earth-shattering impact on me. Everything from Meditations by Marcus Aurelius to James Bond, Conan and the Dark Knight Returns has made some impression on me. But nothing has really ever given me that “A-ha” moment others speak of. I…

TAKE THE HILL!
Amidst the flames, amidst the pain Amidst the brutal bleeding reign You must push on, you can’t relent You fight until your will is spent And when it’s spent, you push some more Until you’re at the Devil’s door With smashing power, iron will You chase that Devil to the hill You plant your flag,…

Sick & Tired Sunday
And that can be taken somewhat literally today, as I am a bit of both 😄 Currently, I am fighting the nigh unwinnable battle against Mother Nature and the dreaded pollen. It’s currently very high around here and has been for a couple weeks now. I had a bit of relief when it rained last…

Transference
So many, many years ago, you took everything from me. My family, my place in the tribe. Everything. For years, I wandered, alone, swearing an oath of vengeance upon you. So many times, I thought I had taken my revenge. I had seen my spear pierce your chest, only to see you alive weeks later.…

Nothing specific
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.
