Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 06.15.24
Not long ago, I had a conversation (multiple, actually) with someone whose opinion I value quite highly. The conversation revolved around the recent feeling that I have had to tiptoe around my own blog for fear of upsetting or offending people. Mind you, some of this could just be my perception as I have had…

SLDS: Mission # 062124
I believe I missed the prior one, but I am back for this week’s round. This weeks prompt: Dangerous Liaison in a Warzone Normally, I take several shots at these to get what I am looking for. This week, I was lucky and the winds of fortune blew in my favor. Got it in one.…

Only One?
I don’t know that it’s a luxury, but it is a basic food group which I deem essential. Y’all have a great day! 🤘😎🤘

Wolf By The River
You’re dressed up like a sheep But I can see the wolf within The tenderness displayed A veneer atop the sin You came to me a friend But you leave me as a foe You’re a river running deep Blackened water, evil flow Once I fell into this river And I very nearly drowned You…

The Eternal War
The battlefield within my mind Where claret flows, a bitter wine I’ve fought it seems a thousand years A futile war amidst the tears I’ve known the rage and known the pain I’ve suffered ‘neath your tainted reign Through Hell and back and there again I fight the war one cannot win A fool’s crusade,…

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.…

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.
