There's a time in each of our lives we look back upon often. We remember those times as the happiest of our lives. We reminisce about all the good times we had while vaguely recalling anything bad that may have happened. The good ol' days. Those days for me are my freshman and sophomore years … Continue reading The Good Old Days
We’re less than a week away from Halloween! If you had to design a costume that channeled your true, innermost self, what would that costume look like? Would you dare to wear it? Today's Daily Post prompt is curiously timed. Not more than two weeks ago I literally took the mask off of my blogging identity. Had … Continue reading My Transparent Costume
When I was a child, I hated fall. Mostly because it meant going back to school. It meant an end to the carefree days of doing whatever the hell I wanted. An end to staying up as late as I wanted and sleeping in as late as I could. No more frolicking in the woods … Continue reading Why I Like Back to School (It has nothing to do with the kids)
After I wrote last night's post, I clicked on the playlist YouTube suggested for the song. After Words As Weapons finished playing, This Is The Time (by Nothing More) came on.

The belief that I … Continue reading I Forgive, But Never Forget
As it is wont to do, my mind wandered for some time after I went to bed last night. I realized I didn't have a post ready for today, nor did I have any ideas what to discuss. I then had the following conversation...with myself. Twindaddy: You know, you haven't participated in the Daily Prompt in … Continue reading Rambling About Conflict
[Editor's Note: For this month's Remember the Time, Emily and Kelly would like to know what our earliest recollection is. I had written about my earliest memory in response to a Daily Prompt back in December of 2012, so I'm dressing this post up and adding a few things to it and making it seem like … Continue reading My Oldest Surviving Memory
The seasons turn like an automated revolving door. Always in motion. Autumn officially arrived weeks ago, but it seems mother nature just got the memo. The weather has finally cooled. The mornings are brisk. The sun rises later by the day. Cold dew blankets my car in the morning. The cold embrace of winter eagerly … Continue reading Fall Into Autumn
Ah, DP. My friend. My nemesis? Either way, you always ask the hard-hitting questions. Soul-searching questions. Questions that make me dig deep within myself in desperate search of satirical answers. Today's prompt is no exception... Have you ever been addicted to anything, or worried that you were? Have you ever spent too much time and … Continue reading Addiction? I Have No Addiction!
