Agoge Update: The First Few Days
Good day, all. A brief update on the first few days of my little Agoge project. I started on Friday 03/22, as a bit of a whim. I just felt the sudden urge to take something new on. Sometimes things require a bit of thought, and other times, it’s best to just go with your…

NTT: Stuart’s Synchronicity
Hello all, Today I had the pleasure of finding a comment on the No Theme Thursday post from Stuart at My Bipolar Perspectives of a Unipolar World. In the comment, Stuart left the below, in which he managed to tie together ALL of the images in this week’s NTT post. Not wanting this to go…

Alone In The Crowd
My NTT entry for this week. Amidst the hustle of the street A thousand eyes refuse to meet I’m different so they look away It happens every fucking day I once was sad, now I don’t care Your kind, I see them everywhere In the stores, or on a train Deep within it caused me…

Going To Agoge
Not “Going To A Go-Go” like the Stones sing. “Agoge.” Basically, it’s an old Spartan term for the rigorous training and education the young warriors went through to become soldiers. I’m simplifying, but that’s it in a nutshell. During a brief conversation with Ojaswi Gupta the other day, the term came up. Long story short,…

Lost In The 80s
I was lost within the 80s, I was locked inside your love Aquanet and acid jeans, Heaven sent you from above I was young and so hot blooded, wanted you to check and see Your poison in my ear so soft, dirty talkin’ me We were runnin’ with the devil, we were livin’ on a…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (11.1)
The remainder of Korv’s journey through Meadow Field was uneventful. There was a chill wind in the air, but the clouds had parted slightly and the sun shone down from above. Korv still felt a slight uneasiness, but it was more akin to the thrill one feels before an impending battle than a feeling of…

St. Paddy’s Sunday
Good day and Happy St. Patrick’s Day if you’re so inclined! Not much going on here, really. Not going to get caught up in the parade quagmire, drinking green beer or any of that. 😄 Tomorrow the hiring process begins for the new job, so I foresee a busy week ahead. Other than that, just…

Ode To The 80s
Might be a 70s song or two in there as well. 🤷♂️ 😋 My pick for this week’s No Theme Thursday image. Yes, it’s stupid and yes, I’m just screwing about, but see how many song titles or lyrics you can identify. 😉 Summertime girls burnin’ down the avenue Shot through the heart, but I…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (11)
Korv awoke to a cloudy and windy morn in the village. Indeed, Mother Nature sounded fierce this day! As was his tradition, Korv made his usual brew, and went outdoors to soak in the morning. It moved his spirit and energized him for the day ahead. There has been a soaking rain the night before,…

Dear Emperor,
Dear G.Q. Rilla, As you open this letter on your 100th birthday (you still look fantastic, by the way 😉), you will be Emperor of the civilized world. You have probably just finished the meeting with your war council, where you finalized your plan to become the master of all time, space and reality. If…

Three Days, Three Posts
All in the freaking trash. What a waste of time. 😠 Not a goddamn thing worth salvaging. I am not one of those people who can sit down and do the act of writing without being inspired. I can’t trudge through it like a true author would. God knows I have tried, but that is…

Everything You Need
All under one roof! You sneaky little marketing devils…Trying to determine our shopping habits, eh? 😄 Personally, I do all my shopping at… Gorilla Mart! Yes, indeed, all your simian shopping needs conveniently located in one place. Need to do your grocery shopping? No problem! Gorilla Mart has a wide variety of fresh foods from…

Just Monkeying Around
My pick for No Theme Thursday this week. Statistics. Outputs. Headcount. Tiresome. Annoying. Relentless. “No appreciation,” the gorilla thought to himself as he stared at the clock on the wall. “8:30. It’s only 8 freaking 30,” he said aloud in disgust. He had only been there two hours. It felt more like ten. 9:00 Teams…

No Theme Thursday (03/07/24)
Good day, all! Another week, another edition of No Theme Thursday! Last week saw some new entrants, and also some folks putting their own spin on the theme (no theme?). It’s become a bit more free form, and I think that’s really, really cool. If you’ve been inspired to create, then mission accomplished! If there…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (10)
T’was yet another rainy morn when Korv awoke. It was a light, peaceful rain and he chose to wander outside to enjoy the cool, calming air. Korv truly enjoyed mornings like this. Slightly gray and quiet, with just a hint of sun peeking out from behind the clouds, reminding all that hope was always just…

NTT Challenge Subs: 2/29/24
Good day to all and welcome back for yet another week of No Theme Thursday Challenge submissions! This week, we had a record twelve submissions for the challenge! And the coolest part is that we got some very unique takes. It’s becoming more freestyle and I think that is totally awesome! First, I would like…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (9)
Korv awoke early this day, for there was much to do! As always, he made his morning brew and enjoyed some quiet time reflecting. He had very much relished the time he had to recover, but now, Korv found his hunger to reenter the fight was slowly coming back. Aye, writing and creating were indeed…
