"Run on for a long time, let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down." As usual, no idea what's going to pop into my skull when I see a SoCS prompt. Today, it was Run On by The Blind Boys of Alabama (the Moby remix, different group, from the Play album is also…
The first acronym I can recall is SNAFU (Situation Normal, All Fucked Up) which I read in some book or other -- great WWII correspondent Ernie Pyle maybe) -- when I was 10 or so. A few years later, the same acronym provided a crack (for me) in the bullshit consistently spouted by every generation…
Skyrockets in flight, Afternoon delight. Rubbing sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite And the thought of rubbing you is getting so exciting Skyrockets in flight, afternoon delight [insert your own ‘pewww’ sound here] The Starlight Anthem Band Afternoon delight. You're humming it now, aren'tcha? That’s one of the earliest songs I can remember…
I almost made a tremendous mistake with my life. Fortunately, a long drive and some hard thinking and sudden revelation have instead led to a life-altering decision. I've been kinda thinking of it as my very own Road to Damascas moment. Today’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday is a combo of the February 4 and then…
"Don't you do it." For whatever reason, as often happens with these things, a random image popped into my skull at today's prompt. Apollo Creed telling Balboa not to throw in the towel againgst . . . what was the Russian's name. Drago. That's it. Hmmmm, Ivan Drago. Khal Drago, I wonder if Georgie Boy…
Fingernails. Blackboard (or chalkboard, they were black in my grade and high school). That's how much I cringe when I see or hear the phrase "out-of-the-box thinking," tge first thing I thought of when I saw today's prompt. And so we begin the 2nd consecutive (yay, me) Stream of Consciousness Saturday from Linda G. Hill's…
Which way you gonna go this year? Photo by Javier Allegue Barros on Unsplash Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Every year, the self-improvement industry makes a killing on everyone's resolutions to be different in whatever way -- weight, work, family, relationships, habits, cooking, etcetera and etc. Most fail. Most fail because…
Is he offering her a discount for "rich, Corinthian leather"? Or, perhaps, preparing to hurl his wrath at Captain Kirk? Or singing in Neptune's Daughter? It is far from warm and cozy outside. Sweettinybabyjesusborn2022yearsagotomorrowbyyourvirginmotherstitsitscold. I haven't been this cold since a deer-hunting trip to Brownsville, Texas when I was in high school - must've been…
Anyway, here's a SoCS double-dose. I wrote one last week, and then couldn't get into my WordPress account. First up, the prompt for December 10; then scroll on down for today's prompt: Anyway. Struggled a bit with this prompt, as the first two things that popped into my head: A very inappropriate joke around a…
I am a fan of the word "amble." It's an accurate description of my usual walking speed (see also, mosey, saunter, stroll, or meander). Today's Stream of Consciousness prompt from Linda G Hill is, of course, "-amble": Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “—amble.” Add letters to the beginning of “-amble” to make…
