Sacrifice The Goat (Part 3): Endgame

I don't know a lot about car or bike racing, so I figure these are two things I should definitely weave into an analogy.  Drafting: (not forcing people into military service or designing buildings) sticking close to the leader in order to better your own progress.  Aerodynamics  somehow work with windspeed and stuff to make … Continue reading Sacrifice The Goat (Part 3): Endgame

Sacrifice the Goat (pt. 2): To the Bone

And the soul still burns.  By now, the goat has moved from stunned surprise to acknowledgement of imminent demise.  Its grip on life is as tenuous as social media's grip on reality.  Death is but a heartbeat away. Capitalism vs. Socialism.  Spoiler: Socialism loses, badly.  Socialism is mechanized and rigid.  It grows roots and pushes … Continue reading Sacrifice the Goat (pt. 2): To the Bone

Sacrifice the Goat (Part 1)

The goat walked down the path and looked carefully from side to side.  It was only a goat, and the world was ever so big.  Every tree seemed to spring forward with alarming force.  The leaves were angry fists, shaking in the wind.  Even the wind whispered warning, and the sun was a spotlight on … Continue reading Sacrifice the Goat (Part 1)

Hesitant President

I am running for president in 2020.  I will dominate and destroy all opposition.  Anyone who thinks about running should consider themselves lucky that they are getting this advance notice of my impending occupation of our nation's highest office.  Upon winning, I will paint the White House red (literally), make Mr. Feeny the Secretary of … Continue reading Hesitant President

365: Day 25- Let’s get this party Stated

State of your year Write up a mid-year “State of My Year” post.

365: Day 22- ABigCatastrophe

From A to Z Create a short story, piece of memoir, or epic poem that is 26 sentences long, in which the first sentence begins with “A” and each sentence thereafter begins with the next letter of the alphabet.

365: Day 21- Back to School

Back to school If you could take a break from your life and go back to school to master a subject, what would it be? This is a beautifully ironic prompt in so many ways.  First of all, mastering a subject is a ridiculous concept.  Look at me, I am a math master; I know … Continue reading 365: Day 21- Back to School

365: Day 16- Talk to me

Party animals? After spending time with a group of people, do you feel energized and ready for anything or do you want to hide in the corner with a good book? Depends on the people.  Some people invigorate; some people drain.  The bigger question is how do people feel after leaving a conversation with me? … Continue reading 365: Day 16- Talk to me

365: Day 15- Little baby girl

There's no place like home If you had the opportunity to live a nomadic life, traveling from place to place, would you do it?  Do you need a home base?  What makes a place "home" for you? Well, this is a alarmingly similar prompt to the other nomadic inquest.  No, I don't want to roam … Continue reading 365: Day 15- Little baby girl

365: Day 8- Game changer

Still trekking on that prompt-a-day mission. Singular sensation If one experience or life change results from you writing your blog, what would you like it to be? The ability to write for a living and make decent money doing it, wherever that might go and whatever that might be.  Shortest blog post ever.  Actually, a … Continue reading 365: Day 8- Game changer
