Sleep!
Since today’s modern world seems to already think we don’t need sleep, I would take the extra time, do a total 180, and actually give sleeping a shot. Just to see what it’s like and all that. Solely for experimental purposes, I assure you. Yeah, yeah, I know. It says if you didn’t need it.…

Like You Read My Mind
It’s the darnedest thing. I was just sitting around thinking “Gee, I post a lot of moon pictures. Maybe I should post something different, like some winter ones.” Lo and behold, here we are. Amazing. 😄 Jokes aside, we had a pretty substantial snowstorm Saturday night/Sunday morning, and I got out at various times to…

You can have my toys…
When you pry them from my cold, dead fingers. 😋 I don’t think I’ve ever truly grown up, and I have the sneaking suspicion I never truly will. Nor do I think I want to. The things I’ve enjoyed the most, I have enjoyed since I was a very young lad and I never saw…

There Can Be Only One (Or Two…)
If I was forced to choose only one candy, then it would very likely be Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Caveat: I much prefer the big cup, trees or eggs, etc. Way more PB than the chintzy regular ones these days! If only they still made them like they did back in the day. Damned Shrinkflation.…

Gimme a break, man
2/7/25: Looking back on this one, and honestly, my take really has not changed much at all. I guess it just goes to show that the more things change, the more they stay the same. 😄 What do I need a break from? Oh, hell… Lots of things. Half-Assed Leaders: Whether we’re talking business, politics…

Day After Day
Well, I think right off the bat, every decent day should start with a cup of java! Maybe even a few…? Let’s be real, kids. One is rarely enough. After, or even during, that, I’d likely be on the computer checking in here and other random sites. A bit of reading, a bit of writing…

Ticking away…
…the moments that make up a dull dayYou fritter and waste the hours in an offhand wayKicking around on a piece of ground in your hometownWaiting for someone or something to show you the way “Time” – Pink Floyd 2/4/25: Reread this and for the most part it holds up, but there is one part…

What to do, what to do?
2/3/25: Resurrecting this one to remind myself not to fall into the same trap under my new boss. 😄 I am coming off my weekend work rotation, so I hope to catch up with everyone and all the NTT entries later today. In the interim, have a great one, all! Since I tend to avoid…

Back in the day…
2/1/25: Since this one amuses me, I am merely going to add a bit more gorilla magic and call it a day. 😄 Have a great day, folks! Back in the day when we had to trek 30 miles one way to school, in the snow, with no snowshoes, this was our computer: Of course,…

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…

No Comment!
More accurately, “No to the new comments dashboard.” 😄 Still not digging it… Man, I don’t know. When I recently came back after a couple days away and saw the new comments dash layout, to say I was a bit frustrated would be a huge understatement. First, it just looks like a huge wall of…

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…

WTF Is Leisure?
Beats the hell outta me, man. I kid, of course. Well, kinda. 😄 Lord knows I have bitched plenty about my current, not so favorable, schedule on these pages. It still wouldn’t be stellar, but it would be a damn sight better if it were daytime hours. Alas, sometimes we gotta do what we gotta…

That Feeling When…
You drive to work in a snow storm, work 12.5 hours, finally thaw your car out, and when you’re one street from home… Someone slides into your car. 🙄 What a way to end your 60 hour work week. 😄 Howdy, folks. Hope everyone is well. As I stated up top, this was my long…

Funny You Should Ask!
Damndest thing. I was just thinking “Gee…Maybe I’ll post more photos.” What a coincidence! How kind of you to ask, WP. 😄

PSA: Likebombing, Spam Liking, Etc.
Now, aside from the occasional snap decision to pull a post when I doubt the content before thinking it through, I consider myself a fairly easygoing fellow. Lately, I haven’t been able to check in daily, so when I do make it back, there is nothing more frustrating than seeing that your notifications are completely…

Why, yes. Yes I do.
So nice of you to ask, WP! As a matter of fact, I do have some random images of the moon from the last few nights to post. Thanks! 👍 Didn’t feel like rehashing the prompt from last year today, so I figured I would take the opportunity to post some pics instead. Have a…

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…
