thinking about attempting A Poem A Day In 2018 ...
it'll be a tough to accomplish but may be just the incentive to not only write more poetica but get more of the older poetica typed up and shared
...what'dya think - something I should try/attempt - A Poem A Day In 2018 ?
Another thing been pondering is how to utilize the 96 hrs of Remaining Vaca Time (: 2 wks, 2 days, aka 40 + 40 + 16 )
of course it completely depends on what taxes I get back - the newly passed tax bill that eliminates the N0bamacare Uninsured Bullshit Fee should help a lot in that effect !
I could split it into a week-and-a-day mini-vacas or into a two-week vaca with 2 days to throw in anywhere
either way is going to be tough ( as usual ), depending upon what I intend to do ... or simply try to do
so many places I'd like to go, but so many places that are tough to do for multiple reasons ( flying there but can hardly get around, or driving but no place to stay, etc )
one thing I've considered would be two weeks of travelling - picking up a sleeping bag & a car rental & starting southward to the gulf/Louisiana and just going wanderbout
making sure, of course, that I'm not so far that it'd be a helluva drive back home to return the rental in a day or less :)
this sounds most enjoyable - since I've enjoyed the past random roadtrips... the ones that led me to SD and the "Minnesota Loop" that took me to the north Superior shore
cons - of course - would be spending a couple weeks sleeping out of a vehicle and finding places to park/sleep and shower
renting the vehicle would leave little $$ left for hotel/motels, unless I can luck out finding really cheap ones... but I know there are particular places to fill-up that have showers available
( aye, they're primarily for truckers and I may get some glares, but for a roadtrip like this, it'd be worth the glare :) )
This month at work has been pretty crazy, a lot going on and priorities shifting to push some things to this upcoming last week of the month/year...
aye, this is going to be an insane last week... add the yet-to-be-complete work and projects to the expected EOM & EOY workload *whew*
...and it's a short(er) week, at that !
*crosses fingers* - I'm gonna do my best and that's all I can do
So - before this thing becomes some kind of novel worth of weeks' of etc, etc...
whether you were able to enjoy this week of Saturnalia or Yule on Thursday, here's to whatever your particular mythos may be :
Merry Yule!
Cheerful Sol Invictus!
Killer Kwanzaa!
Happy Hanukkah!
Joyous Festivus!
Steamy Saturnalia!
Sunny Solstice!
Mirthful Mummer's Day!
Celebrate Modraniht!
Festive Hogmanay!
Gay xmas
+ many more...
weeks of twittage ::
12/8 : last night, reminder issued of PD & K9 walks in building and of immediate eviction if drugs found - this AM, hallway reeking of air freshener, enough to give me a headache BEFORE I got outside
12/10 : "If I show you yours will you show me mine
angels' wings and godhead divine..."
12/11 : ah... remembering the days of "only Grr would say something like that out loud" with wonderful fondness :)
12/12 : scars, broken bones, nerve damage, and memory loss, that's what gods like I are made of...
12/13 (2a) : early AM ponders : maybe how t'use a chunk of vaca in spring (april?) would be 2wks travelling - pick up sleeping bag & car rental & start south to gulf/Louisiana and just wanderbout the country... enjoyed the last couple random roadtrips, after all :)
12/13 : seriously?!? a news report about school "season" being TOO long ?!? ...this isn't 50 or 100yrs ago when it was a necessity, we should be looking at the smarter nations with a year-round school "season" and its multiple advantages !
12/16 : "Have you seen [film released in theatres since August] ?"
sorry, but no film is worth a nonstop 2hr walk to and nonstop 2hr walk from it in this kind of weather... NO film !
12/18 : complex is going smoke-free, starting with my building - those who don't sign the smoke-free addendum, it will be assumed they will not be renewing their lease...
cue the PO'd neighbours in 3... 2... 1...
12/20 : if I wanted to attend funerals of the past, I would've - you didn't have to have me dream about attending them, brain... seriously, wtf - all night ?!?
12/21 : "[politician] raises concern for growing housing costs in Minnesota..."
ok, I'm interested
"...for undocumented immigrants"
[*click*]
12/21 II : no, I don't know all the answers, but I'm certain it's not Mimi, Li'l Nemo, and the San Bernardino ... I get points for guessing at least, right ? Right ?!?
12/22 : whatever your particular mythos or space monkey oddity you may believe, hopefully your weekends go well...
personally I'm a little creeped out being home when there's still sun out - let alone being home while soap operas are on *shivers*
12/23 : for those decrying this signing "destroys [N0bamacare]" - no, it doesn't... N0bamacare still exists, this signing eliminates the mandate/fee forcing people ( like those who can't afford it ) to take it or lose their earned tax rebates
N0bama claimed it wasn't the "key" to N0bamacare, & he wouldn't lie, would he? ( *smirks* )

unusualist - I have yet to find a religion and/or spirituality that fits my own personal beliefs... other than, of course, the fact I am a (fallen) god.
( y'just now figured out that I'm basically a non-practicing hedonist? "if it feels good, do it, if it feels bad, you're doing it wrong" )
( "I believe in the proven power of willpower and the truth we are the gods we created. No one being created this universe and its wonders." )
( "the words of wisdom I follow will be the words I've written myself based on the life and experiences that I have Lived, Enjoyed, & Survived" )
( "may the platelets of justice travel the bloodstream of villainy, clog its arteries with honourable vengeance, and induce a coronary of truth" )
( "we are all inmates in the same asylum, some of us are just better at bribing the guards" )
( "In a previous life I was the engine block to a '56 chevy, I lost my heart to a Volkswagen Bus... er, wait - or was that a '57?" )
( "Godfuck Me, Jesus!" )
"Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave..."
"Oh, man. I'm sensing something very canadian about this place..."
"It's all true, god's an astronaut, Oz is over the rainbow, and Midian is where the monsters live..."
Jax : "yay for you, do you want a cookie or a bozo button?"
