Not those kind of dreads! BTW, that’s my friend Liz Kidder. She’s a kick ass thru-hiker and an accomplished dreads artist. Sometimes I’ll bring up my blog and hit the widget on the side of the page that brings up a random blog post I wrote. How narcissistic is that? Today’s random post was one I wrote back in 2017 that was a prompt from the below book. I had to list things that I dread during the day. When…
For the backstory on this series of posts see here. My sixth post in this series. Only 636 more to go. If the world ends due to mass corona virus hysteria it will give me an excuse for not finishing this self appointed assignment in my lifetime. OK, randomly flipping the page… to this one! Your worst experience on an airplane. Oh man, as someone who has done A LOT of traveling for my job, I have a plethora of experiences…
Why do I love Mark Zuckerber and that other guy, I think his name is Eduardo Something? Because they invented Facebook. You might have heard about it. It’s a place where we can show people what we are eating. It’s a place where we can post selfies of our duck face. It’s a place where we can fight about our political views. It’s a place we can spend hours and hours on and get absolutely nothing done. It’s the social…
For the backstory on this series of posts see here. It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these. As a matter of fact it’s been over two years. Just a bit overdue don’t you think? OK, here we go… Describe in detail an everyday object – a piece of fruit, a water bottle, or your beat-up old wallet. The wallet one immediately caught my attention. Here’s a preview of what you can expect… The current wallet I carry is…
For the backstory on this series of posts see here. It’s that time again to pick a random topic to write about. OK, let me get the book. Got it. Flipping to a random page and putting my finger down. Let’s see, what do we have?
For the backstory on this series of posts see here. You wake up with a nameless feeling of dread in your gut, but you can’t figure out what it is. Write down everything that could possibly happen during the day that could be something for you to dread. Wow. Talk about a container full of annelids that’s about to be unlocked (see here for translation). Going to just totally spitball these off the top of my head: My social awkwardness could…
For the backstory on this series of posts see here. Remember something momentous that happened to you. Then write about what happened right before the incident. My culinary skills back then were definitely not up to Chef Ramsay’s standards. They still aren’t, but significantly better. I could probably give the local chef at the Golden Corral a run for his money. Anyway, that night my wife had to work late so I decided to fix dinner. It was going to…
Last Christmas, my wife gave me a book called 642 THINGS TO WRITE ABOUT. That was thoughtful of her since she knows I like to pretend to be a writer. So, of course, I placed it on a bookshelf and promptly forgot about it, which was quite thoughtless on my part. Fast forward to now, which is almost a year later. I saw the book sitting on the table along with several other items that my wife had planned to…
