Temperance
Right now, I am perfectly happy to just exist and let the world do whatever it will. Sometimes we need to get off the merry-go-round and just…Be. Passions are a great thing to have, but there’s something to be said for just hanging back and flowing along once in awhile. Call it temperance, call it…

50K All The Way!
So, I got a little notification from WP yesterday evening. Needless to say, I owe everyone out there a huge thank you for all the views, comments and likes! Without all of you and your support this would never have happened. I am beyond grateful and happy that you have all chosen to visit me…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 06.18.24
Spending the first six hours of your shift unscrewing everyone else’s stupidity and laziness is really annoying. CELTICS, BABY!!! đ Buzzwords. They lose their impact when used excessively. I’m sure some of you can empathize. đ Heat Index of 105? GTFO of here with that shit. 2,024 push-ups in one day? Hmmm…Maybe. đ¤ NTT. Tick,…

You Can Never Get Too Low…
Note: Another repost. I changed a couple small things and added an image. Hopefully someone, somewhere gets something out of this piece. Originally posted 01/08/24. For the past couple of days I have been struggling a bit with what to write. I’ve mostly been responding to the daily prompts and playing around with image creator…

Not a fan
Man, I hate these type of prompts. They’re so freaking difficult to answer without coming off like a pompous ass. I think I will just wish everyone a happy Monday (if there is such a thing?) and call it there. đ Take care, y’all. đ

The Perils of External Validation
Note: Something I read today brought this old post to mind, so I decided to put it up again. Changed the featured image and made some small edits, but the piece remains unchanged beyond that. Everyone loves to be loved. It’s just a simple fact of life. We humans are social creatures and we need…

The Barbarian’s Guide To Good Living
Men of iron and maidens so fair, I bid thee hail! As I wander this world in search of treasures so fine and adventures far flung, I encounter many a varied soul. Good folk some, and others less so. By the grace of the gods and their beards ever epic, most have been the former.…

Father’s Day ’24
Amidst the pain, amidst the strife When the world has cut me like a knife Amidst the doubts, amidst the fear I am ever grateful you are here We almost lost you long ago The tears I cried you’ll never know So many nights of restless sleep So many nights I’d lay and weep So…

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…

Still Alive
Hello all, I hope this message finds everyone well. My deepest thanks for your concern. I truly appreciate the kind comments and well wishes. Please forgive me if my replies are less than timely. I’ve been offline a bit for a multitude of reasons. First, I was involved in a project at work which required…

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! đ¤đđ¤

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.

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. đ 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.

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. đ I’m hoping to get a bit of writing done, and praying for rain to knock this pollen…

The Final NTT Entries Post!
Well… For now. đ 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. đ 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.
