Anything Worth Doing Blog Post
So, a couple weeks ago, I encountered a post on Facebook that hit me pretty hard. Not like an “oh, my heart is breaking!” or a “Hahahahahaha!” But rather, an inspirational “wow, that’s…that’s actually true,” and I feel like I’ve known this for a while (a “back of the mind” type thing), but it didn’tContinue reading “Anything Worth Doing Blog Post”
Trust
You can’t trust what you can’t see,Life hides the path and hidden the key.An open field so warm and soft,Then sparked by fire, a deadly cough.Open the heart, let someone in.Dance and laugh, alive again.Until an action’s a dagger deep in the back.Bleeding on the ground, it all goes black.Hardened and shielded and locked inContinue reading “Trust”

Defeat weighs heavily on you and you start regretting making the bet in the first place,Continue reading “Terror of Gebakajeezer”
Nock, Draw, Aim
Nock, draw, and aim, release that volley of arrows down on the enemy, make sure the bow’s properly strung, unstring it and string it again if you must. Don’t squeeze the grip too hard, focus and fire, ashamed at the sleeper on the battle-field, he had been warned by the driver of the movement. TattooedContinue reading “Nock, Draw, Aim”
Running Through the Days
Work in the morning on Monday and finish up last week’s that evening; work all day on Tuesday and cram in some late that night; don’t work on the weekends during times of chores; clean the house until it shines; stop what you’re doing to avoid trouble; when cleaning the dogs be sure yourContinue reading “Running Through the Days”
Puppy at the Ropes Blog Post.
Over the past week, I’ve started a new job at an animal shelter and I really like it. However, like all jobs, you have to go through a training period and I hate training periods. I wish I could just skip it and get to the part where I actually know what I’m doing andContinue reading “Puppy at the Ropes Blog Post.”
