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

Posted on by danielion9

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)

Posted on by danielion9

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

Posted on by danielion9

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

Origin story Why did you start your blog? Is that still why you blog, or has your site gone in a different direction than you’d planned? Faithfool.  That's how I came to write this blog.

365: Day 21- Back to School

Posted on by danielion9

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 20- My closest friend

Posted on by danielion9

A friend in need... Finish this sentence: “My closest friend is...” My head starts to cycle when I see this prompt.  Best friend (I know it says closest) is a term that drives me back to seventh grade social wars.  Why must an individual create a friend hierarchy?  But then you get older and friends … Continue reading 365: Day 20- My closest friend
