  • Camping? Why yes…

    In high school we called it “drinking in the woods.” After high school we called it “War.” So yeah, anyhow, I have been camping a few times in my life besides that. There used to be some nice spots around here to go chill out for a few days. I’ve not gone in ages, but…

    Usually I feel most productive when I am doing real work, aka: manual labor. Administratively, I’m not gonna lie, I am pretty damned good. But as far as feeling like I have accomplished something, it’s when I’m on the line exerting myself a bit. There’s also the added bonus of getting to help the guys…

    Taking a moment to be thankful that it’s not another prompt about risk. It’s not the most scintillating, but at least it’s different. So, let’s get down to it, shall we? Music Yes, I love music. Playing it, listening to it, discussing it. Particularly 80s rock/metal and all things Van Halen. Infuckingdeed. 🤘 Workouts Weights,…

    Really? No. Not doing it. Get the hell out of here with that silly shit. You really couldn’t be more repetitive if you tried, WP. But, please don’t try, for I fear you would prove me wrong and lower the bar even further. Get the hell outta here.

    I would have to say joining the service was a risk I didn’t regret. It was a time in my life when I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do with myself, so it gave me a direction and a purpose when I needed one. It also showed me that I was capable of…

    This one’s a piece of cake. I’d have started looking for a job the second I had that feeling in my gut that things were going to go terribly awry. If I had just listened to my instincts and started looking to get the hell out of Dodge, I might not have been sick and…

    It’s not usually the big stuff that gets me nervous. It’s usually silly little stuff like making a post or going to a party where I don’t know anyone. It used to be stuff like job interviews, etc., but those don’t bother me much at all anymore. Maybe because I know my skill set now…

    Pizza Whiskey Sleep To be fair, the whiskey and pizza are not overly regular occurrences. The most important one to me, particularly after starting a job with 12 hour shifts, is sleep. However, if a day is particularly rough, I might indulge a bit. Nothing crazy, mind you. Just enough to take the edge off,…

    I don’t really do much other than WP. Never really had the urge. And overall, other social media just seems too pissy to me. I get enough of that in daily life that I don’t feel I need any more. Everyone I talk to always seems agitated when they get off their pages, and it…

    I’ll be totally honest here. I can’t think of any off the top of my head. In fact, one of my main issues nowadays is the complete lack of courtesy that people show to each other. No one can hold a door for anyone, and if you do hold a door open for someone, don’t…

    This is another one of those prompts that I find myself saying “what the hell?” to. I don’t think it’s as much the prompts, as my attitude towards them at the moment. Every decision could be an opportunity to learn and grow. What we study in school, what jobs we apply for, whom we socialize…

    Leave it to WP to ask where we wouldn’t want to go. Well, points for originality, I guess. 🙄 Not something I think about too often, to be honest. I’d rather think of places I want to go. Where don’t I want to go? Hmmm… Well, the hospital is a good one. Freaking hate hospitals.…

    This is another prompt I really don’t wish to get too specific on. My family in general has helped me several times. They have helped me immensely during personal tragedies and professional setbacks. I am very grateful to them for that.

    In the interest of keeping it PG, I’ll just say my favorite way to workout is good old fashioned iron. 😄 While I do enjoy push-ups and other calisthenics, my favorite things will be barbells and dumbbells. Something about picking up heavy shit just speaks to my inner gorilla. Call me a meathead if you…

    Since I’ve been up for about 20 hours straight, this is gonna be a quick one. I don’t know that there’s a best or worst pet. I guess it’s up to the individual and their preferences. I like, and have owned, cats, dogs and rabbits. They are all fantastic pets. Goodnight, WordPress friends. I am…
