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

    In the distance, foreboding, a castle in black So far I have come, there is no turning back Through the trials and tortures, I have conquered them all As I stand at the cusp, they are destined to fall Overlords evil, spreading hatred and fear My heart’s beating faster, destination draws near Allies I found,…

    Hey all! Here’s the continuation of the story that Laura from Black Moon Lilith and I have been working on. It’s been beyond fantastic working with Laura, and I couldn’t ask for a better partner. She’s done an incredible job of making this into a fun, cohesive read! Thank you, Laura! She’s able to tolerate…

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

    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…

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

    To the battle, to the fields The cause is just, we will not yield Thick with doom, such acrid smoke Hard to breathe, our lungs are choked Pressing on, and still we push Past falling trees and burning brush In our wake, destruction left Raise your sword and feel the heft With gleaming blade we…

    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…

    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. 😄 Take care, y’all. 😊

    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.…
