Like Indiana Jones…
“Snakes, why’d it have to be snakes?” – Raiders of the Lost Ark Side note: Re-watched it recently and man, what a great movie. Yeah, snakes. Not a huge fan. 😄 I’ve had friends who owned snakes before, and I’m good in small doses, but a situation where there’s more than a couple? Yeah, I’m…

So Many Books…
I can’t really use time as an excuse these days, but I’m going to anyhow. 😄 I have a ton of things on deck to read, but I haven’t gotten a start on it yet. Must be too busy blogging and playing with digital pics. 😬 Anyhow, off the top of my dome, I have…

I Can Stop Anytime I Want
01.12.25: And thus… A Pizza Revolution began. Came back to add a bit of gorilla magic and reformat the poem. 01.12.24: I just don’t happen to feel like it yet. I do not wish to stop consuming pizza. From a parlor, from a chain From a freezer, I don’t care I’ll consume it anytime I’ll…

A Cure For All Your Ills! (Update: 01/11/25)
01/11/25: No offense, but if I did have a business idea, crazy or otherwise, I certainly wouldn’t be sharing it in the Daily Prompt! 😄 On that note, have a fantastic day, folks!

I’ve Still Got It (Updated: 01/10/25)
01/10/25: Bumping this one up because I rather like it, and wanted to add a bit of gorilla magic. RIP, EVH. Still missing you. I don’t know how far back WP wants us to go in the Wayback Machine here, but I’m stopping round about my 20s. My blog, my rules. The one item I…

Man On A Mission (Updated: 01/09/25)
01/09/25: I wasn’t going to post anything other than my NTT today, but I’m going to bring this one back from the dead for two reasons: First, I really needed this reminder today. Second, I wanted to put the VH video in because I didn’t include it last year. 🤘😉🤘 01/09/24: I love it when…

Alive Or Just Breathing?
01/08/25: Ironic that lately I have felt like I am “just breathing”. The timing of these prompts is sometimes interesting, to say the least. Post is unchanged from last year. The name of that Killswitch Engage album is always in the back of my head. When I feel low, I often find myself asking “Am…

What’s The Difference? (Update: 01/07/25)
A moment of contemplation 01/07/25: Looking back on this post today with a hint of irony, as I am currently taking stock of where I’m at with some things and questioning myself. I don’t really know that I have accomplished what I set out to do. Have I improved? Have I made a difference? Am…

What Ever Do I Want? (Updated: 01/04/25)
01/24/25: I wasn’t going to mess about with the daily prompt today, but I am looking back on it now in the wake of hearing that a former coworker of mine has passed away. His name was Paul, and I knew him for almost 15 years. He was stricken with an aggressive bout of cancer…

School of Life
Went to “a” college, but never went “to” college… I never officially attended college. I took some courses for a few months starting last January, and I did enroll with the intent of going for an Associate’s after that, but I was never able to pull the trigger for various reasons. Chief among them being…

All Work And No Play? (Updated: 01.02.25)
01/02/25: Added some pics and a few observations since this was posted a year ago. Observations in bold. For the last couple months I did not do much playing at all. I was too caught up in a maniacal quest that left me stressed, burnt out, sick and unemployed. I learned a lot of very…

Complaint Department
These days, I try not to complain to much if I can help it. I used to get frustrated a lot and bitch about multiple things, but ultimately, it rarely did much good. Most of the things were out of my control, and that frustrated me even more. Also, as a supervisor, I had a…

The Sporting Life
Growing up, I wasn’t really into team sports all that much. I never did the Little League, soccer, basketball, etc. thing. I would watch sports, but I had no desire to be involved with that stuff. I was always more of a loner, so my mom let me sign up for karate classes. I did…

That’s What I Want
Money, that’s what I want! Before we begin the festivities, this post is brought to you by Great White’s kickass cover of “Money (That’s What I Want)” Now, on with the show! What will I do when I win the lottery? Well, when I do win the lottery, first thing, aside from getting a financial…

Traditionally Speaking
Traditionally speaking, my family doesn’t really have a ton of them. 😄 We all live within reasonable proximity of each other, but don’t see much of one another due to conflicting schedules and that whole “life” thing. But like a lot of other families, we make a point of getting together at the holidays. That’s…

Deja Vu much? (Prompt: 01/25/24)
Strange, I feel like I just answered a very similar question. Anyhow, as some might argue, there is a difference between “fun” and “leisure”, so I’ll play along. 😄 I guess I would call the following activities “leisure”: Napping: Sometimes a midday nap on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon is just what the doctor ordered.…

WP = GPS?
Yeah, I’m not feeling this prompt today. And really, there’s not much near me I’m hellbent on seeing. I’ll just post some pics I made for today. 😄 Have a great day, everyone!!

Fun, Fun Fun! (Prompt: 01/23/24)
Never had a T-Bird so daddy can’t take it away. 😛 Let’s see…Five things I do for fun. I don’t know if I can count that high! Anyhow, enough of me being a smartass. Here we go: Lifting weights and working out. I started this rather late in the game. Where most guys start in…

Oh, they understand (Prompt: 01/22/24)
They just don’t care, is all. I have more than one thing I want these damned cats to understand. No, no one wants to know your views on uhusdffgjds/vusmbtrzifvsrhe80‘‘l; Just stop it. Expecting you to eat from your dish is not “treating you like a dog.” 🙄 Dude, I just washed and waxed it. Really?…

One Handsome Devil! (Prompt: 01/21/24)
So, I looked up the meaning of my name and according to several sources, it means “handsome”, “gentle”, “kind” and “beloved”. Clearly, my mother drank heavily during pregnancy. 🤣 It’s Irish in origin and derives from the name CaoimhÃn. From what I also read, in Hindi it is said to mean “comely” and “beloved” In…

Workin’ For A Livin’ (Prompt: 01/20/24)
Ironic that this prompt comes up while I am deciding my next move in life. More than likely, I will look for another supervisor gig, since I have the experience and actually do like it. I enjoy working with a team, helping them and watching them grow. I’ve also been toying with the idea of…

Follow The Leader (Prompt: 01/19/24)
As someone who has been a leader for the past 4-plus years, you’d think I would have a lot to say on this topic, but at the moment I really don’t. I think right now there’s just a part of me that’s cut that portion of my life loose and is happy not to think…

Hold The Avocado! (Prompt: 01/18/24)
It’s been a day, so don’t mind me. If I had to pick one thing right now off the top of my dome to un-invent it would be this godforsaken need to put avocado on every freaking dish under the sun. Where did this silliness start? I bet it was California. 🙄 Now, don’t get…

Let Me Count The Ways
I don’t think there’s any one example I could, or would, want to give for this prompt. I mean, really, love comes in so many forms that it’s hard for me to place value on any one example of love over the other. I’ve been lucky enough to be the recipient of love from my…

Junk It All (Prompt: 01/16/24)
There are a ton of ways this can be interpreted. Physically, mentally, emotionally, etc. Funny thing is about two months ago, I went on a tear and threw a bunch of stuff out that had been hanging around forever. Finally got sick of it and tossed it. Ironically, about a week before I got fired…
