Sacrifice The Goat (Part 3): Endgame

Posted on by danielion9

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

My name is Dan.  This is my blog.  I    am from Texas, but I    live in Florida, now.  I    am still hesitant to put my real info out here because of my job.  I    am a teacher.  In this day and age of progressivism, if I    were gay, transgender, black, or a communist that would … Continue reading This is Today: November 11

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

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 16- Talk to me

Posted on by danielion9

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 6- Earworm

Posted on by danielion9

Earworm Write whatever you normally write about, and weave in a book quote, film quote, or song lyric that’s been sticking with you this week. What do I normally write about it?  I normally write about whatever piques my curiosity or gnaws on my brain stem.  Or raises my ire.  Or whatever.  Today, I am … Continue reading 365: Day 6- Earworm

Note:  This is the ambitious beginning of a daily response to a daily writing prompt.  This prompt comes from the Editors of our very own WordPress. When I look in the mirror, I initially don’t pay it any mind. It is the morning, and I have to get ready for work. The mirror confirms that … Continue reading 365: Day 1 (July 5th)
