Genuine
Much like the gratitude prompt, this could be a very broad question. But I think my answer is similar, really. I think at the end of the day, whether it be a gift, a gesture, or a few words, it’s if it’s genuine that matters most. Letting someone know they are truly appreciated and meaningful…

“Thank you” usually works
This is a very broad question. It depends on the situation and the person, really. The quickest answer I can give on this is whether it’s a gift, a gesture, or a kind word, make it genuine. That, to me, is how you express gratitude. Have a great day, everyone!

Full Metal Monday
Let’s do it. Good morning and welcome to another Monday! Back to work and all that good stuff. Time to pay for your two days of respite! ð How the hell is everyone today? Hopefully hanging in there and doing well! Back to the grind for me today as well. Thankfully, we’re getting a slight…

I try not to
This response will sound a bit flippant, but it actually isn’t meant to be. I ponder things and think deeply about some, but I try not to worry about them if I can help it. As a “seasoned” gorilla, I have learned that too much worrying is detrimental to both one’s mental and physical being.…

Steambath Sunday
Good day, all. Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday thus far. It’s a muggy, miserable one here. Temperature was already above 80 at 8am this morning, and last night’s rain has just added to the misery. ðĨĩ The A/C is working overtime today, I’ll tell ya. Hopefully it’s a bit more pleasant wherever you…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 06.28.24
From: Gorilla HQ To: All Forward Units Sitrep: When you write your post and it reads back like the owner’s manual of a 2024 Kia, you realize more is not always better. TMI truly can be…TMI. The new Reader layout sucks. Who signs off on this stuff? When you know you hit the “Like” button……

Fall Behind Friday
Good afternoon all! Hope everyone is having a fantastic Friday! Personally, mine started by dragging my dead carcass out of bed at 5:00am to go to jury duty. Luckily, we got cut loose early, but man, is it freaking boring. After that I had some stuff to do and calls to make, and now, I…

The same old, same old
I am tired AF right now, and not gonna go back and look, but I am pretty sure I’ve answered this before. Anyhow, same old, same old, really. Nothing too far out of the ordinary. Sleep, wake up, shower, brush teeth, have coffee, go to work, so on and so forth. Pretty basic stuff. I’d…

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 06.25.24
From: Gorilla HQ To: All Forward Units It’s hard to bring your A-Game when they keep letting the B and C Leaguers onto the field. Days are getting shorter. Finally. I’m in the minority, I know. 2,024 push-ups? Happening. Not today though. Settling for 200-plus triceps extensions. TRICEPS OF DOOM. Knew a guy once who…

Over The Top Tuesday: 06.25.24
Good morning and happy Tuesday to all. Hope the week has been off to a nice start for you all. I’m off today, so I am trying to get some stuff done, and I have some business to attend to that might lead to a change for me. We shall see what we shall see.…

Stormy Sunday
Well, maybe. ð All quiet now but we have severe storm and tornado warnings for the next three to four hours, so we’ll see how that goes. Hopefully it’s a big dud, but if you see me taking air you’ll know otherwise ðĪŠ Have a good one y’all!

Don’t Care
Not caring is sometimes one of the greatest forms of self-care one can bestow upon themselves. Don’t agree? Wait a sec… Yep. Just checked. I don’t care. ð Have a great day, everyone!

Where’s Your Fire?
Some days you just have enough and need to let it out. More and more lately, I encounter people who have grandiose ideas, wild ambitions, and signs that they’ve found their true calling. In and of itself, that would be awesome and I applaud that. The problem comes when they hit a roadblock or realize…

Sweatshop Saturday
Good day all! Hope everyone’s weekend is going well so far. Its been a hot, muggy week around here for the most part. Much like several other areas of the country, we’ve been having a bit of a heatwave. If you are still in the midst of it, remember to be careful and stay cool,…

Decisions, Decisions

Random Thoughts From Gorilla HQ: 06.20.24
Holten’s Chop House Smashed Burgers are the freaking bomb. And no, I’m still not on the take. Kinda disappointed, actually. ð When you like and comment on a 5-minute read within 25 seconds of it going live… My ode to Summer Solstice: ðð Anyone else recall the days when Max was just plain old Cinemax?…

I’m on the road, I go to work I sit in traffic like a jerk I hate the cars, the people too I feel like I am getting screwed I want to sit at home and play I have to show up every day I owe the man who cuts my check I work from…

Wave It Off Wednesday
Good morning, all. Why “Wave It Off Wednesday” you might be asking? Because I am waving off the fight and giving up for today. ð My dumb ass thought it would be fun to get my fingers crunched by a a metal plunger an hour before going home today. ð On the upside, I don’t…
