If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be?

View all responses

20230724-1309. I would bring back the least terrifying of all dinosaurs. I do NOT know which one is intelligent enough to communicate to how it became extinct and NOT be hostile enough to go on an eating rampage; because there are no records of how these ancients lived and thrived.

But I was thinking about the tetradactyl (that was shot down by Americans in the early 1800s or whatever), wooly mammoth (that was video taped wading in the river), stegosaurus (that was being unloaded from the back of a pickup truck in a South-East Asian country) or even those petrified giants/titans of various lifeforms.

If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go?

View all responses

20230724-1302. Two tickets to paradise, please. Unfortunately, seeking a significant other has been a dismal failure as GOD or the universe has cursed me with devils, freaks, weirdos and psychos.

This could be because I’m butt fugly and others sensed something is “off-limits”. I guess only the most lucky and worthy guy would somehow dare be chosen. After all, I’ve been blessed with minimal standards.

If there is a paradise, I have no idea the exact locations as I’ve been watching too many YouTube videos about folks being kidnapped by pirates – never to be seen again. So I wouldn’t go anywhere scary and unknown – that’s for sure.

Any popular tourist spot are just as scary as remote getaways. I do NOT know how anybody could travel without their securities. Traveling by group is NOT without its limits as sight-seeing has tight schedules and brief stop-overs offer no real time to appreciate the places.

What’s the story behind your nickname?

View all responses

202307214-1257. In one phone call or more with our favorite podcaster, he asked what my real first name was. I hesitated, lied just the same, but eventually was persuaded to reveal my first name. I told him that it was NOT correct for him to know my first name. But he insisted that “real” Christians do NOT lie. With that said, he compromised my identity and others will know what he did with my “privacy rights”.

So my childhood nickname has always been LYN. The older relatives still call me LYN. But among my cousin, I’m known as FLYNN. This was modified by taking my childhood nickname LYN and adding the first initial of my “real” first name. Thusly so, FLYNN was created.

FLYNN means the son of a red-headed Irish (man). So that’s a lot to think about in terms of masculinity which is NOT toxic but necessary for the balance of energies among families and societies.

What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?

View all responses

20230724-1250. There is really no diet plan or exercise regime that I take to ensure the my health and well-being is maintained.

To keep from losing my mind while stuck in this cabin-fever predicament until I find a significant other to scream or yell at, I blog about my personal details and answer these daily writing prompts.

Besides cooking and cleaning, I try to buy USDA ORGANIC foodstuffs, avoid frying with oil, boil my food, do some easy stretches to remove the aches and stiffness from sleeping too much, and staying hydrated with water or coffee.

I don’t drink sodas or alcohol and try to avoid dining out in restaurants with the sound philosophy that the extra money saved would be donated those some unknown/unwanted ingrates, err, worthy souls. See? This is also a spiritual strategy that helps one’s path.

What are your future travel plans?

View all responses

20230724-1246. I actually do NOT travel well. I do NOT makes plans. I do NOT see any future for me. Therefore, I have no future or travel plans. Why? I did NOT join the jabby jab crowds. Until your damned passport and health status restrictions are lifted, I refuse to travel by plane! I would love to travel worldwide but since I own nothing, there is nowhere to go but stay at home where I blog, cook and clean.

Daily writing prompt

What would you change about modern society?

View all responses

20230724-1240. Why would I change anything? I can’t even change my bad attitude and rotten behavior! How much more problematic with society at large?

Modern society is probably just a resurrection of ancient society. The essentials of food, gas, rent, clothing and shelter seem to have improved. Transportation is still good today. Healthcare is okay.

The only thing I could “sense” is the concept of having nothing to own but to give per the First Nation folks from a Twatter meme. The meme goes on to say that we strive to give away to those who need the basics.

So this is one propaganda in modern society that millionaires and billionaires need to control – by restraining themselves from the illusory “excess” while leaving most to believe in their deserving poverty.

Also getting rid of freaks and weirdos would help society overcome its unnatural illnesses.

What do you listen to while you work?

View all responses

20230724-1233. While I’m typing out my daily writing prompt, I do NOT listen to anything while I work. Basically, I have NOT worked for most of my life and probably totaled ten years in “work experience”. So that means I’ve been home most of the time to blog, cook and clean.

Recently, I’ve been following and subscribing to some interest folks with spiritual “talents”. But both seems to “dismiss” me along the line of – why are you still sticking around? My reply once again here – I’m bored.

So these priestly or spiritual warriors have been encouraging “Christians” to read and listen to the Bible everyday for at least one to two hours. I failed to fully embrace something that’s beyond us Gentiles, though “grafted” into the “faith”.

Blogging/typing is difficult while listening to any audio, including the Bible. And while growing up, I never really listened to music “religiously”; although I was “forced” to take piano lessons.

And when I was “working” long ago, I never really listened to music.

What’s your go-to comfort food?

View all responses

20230724-1222. I used to enjoy chocolate all my life until recently when I learned from online videos about live bugs crawling inside some chocolate candies and chocolate ingredients containing insects or bugs!

I still enjoy eating dried (egg and NOT rice) noodles but without using the included flavoring or seasoning mix packs. I would add or substitute the taste with my childhood favorite – garlic salt!

Depending on what I would randomly pick up at the grocery store, I would have my midnight snack ranging from burritos, enchiladas, tamales, enchiladas, pizza, or any flour (preferably over corn) wraps that I could easily warm up in the microwave.

In the past, I would fry up some eggs alone with some bread or sometimes mix my fried eggs with white steam rice AND add my childhood favorite, you guessed it – garlic salt! I tried cooking with fresh garlic (and onion for fried rice) but I noticed that the recent batches no longer taste the same!

Something happened to the “intensity” of the smell and taste of these food ingredients. So that’s why I would prefer packaged food and prepared food by others, such as sub-sandwiches and cooked food from the grocery stores.

What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why?

View all responses

20230724-1205. I don’t have any favorite games. I tried solving an OLD interactive game called Myst and/or Riven; but due to my impatience and wanting to know how everything concludes – much like the Biblical fraud, hoax or scam of end-time Raptures and aliens invading with their UAP/UFO – I had to resort to “cheatsheets”!

I like the Apple Arcade game called “Temple Run: Puzzle Adventure” because the “reward” system is simple and the play speed is slower for users like me, who have slower reaction time: and so this game is good enough.

I do NOT like games with the first-person perspective as in taking the “driver’s seat”. I would get “motion sickness” and “dizzy” from the fast-paced run-time speed, like Mario Cart, which I never played but loved watching a YouTube gamer freak-out or have his melt-downs during obstacles and losses.

I tried borings games, like word puzzles, crosswords, checkers, chess, and solitaire cards; but I need some minimal movement, action, adventure, and colors to enjoy games.

I have a Scabble board game at home that nobody plays and a traditional Filipino game called Sungka or mancala or congkak with a wooden “board” and some shells that I don’t know how to play at all.

I never like physical “games” or physical education classes. Those outdoor recreational sports activities or games are for boys or tom-boys, too.

What foods would you like to make?

View all responses

20230724-1152. Maybe, y’all need to “rephrase this daily writing prompt to “What foods meals would you like to make cook or prepare?

Since we can’t make food and need to harvest plants and slaughter animals, I do NOT know or like to prepare food because that process is too time-consuming, messing, and polluting of the environment – most of us do NOT compost our food scrapes and that’s what I meant.

I do NOT cook or know how to mix ingredients from scratch and do rely on and prefer to follow popular recipes. Initially, I told our favorite podcaster that I knew how to “cook”. But later phone conversation, I told him that I burn food.

Recently, I’ve been burning food because I’ve been multi-tasking – being in a hurry to complete everything all at once. And once my back is turned away from the stove or my attention is diverted to another activity, I would forget about the cook that I’m cooking.

I experienced one fire oil – to which I stared at the orange and HOT flame shooting up from the cookware – slowly digesting what is happening and then remembering to grab a METAL lid, which I used to snuff out the flames or what would have been a fire alarm call.

Yesterday, I overly cooked or burned one side of my organic Angus beef patty while eating yet another late lunch with my elderly father. The other side of the beef patty was already cook. But within a few minutes, burning yet another foodstuff would have happened.

Boiling food is much easier for me. I would boil our frozen veggies for our evening meal; since I prepare fresh salad for lunch with cranberries, sweetened walnuts, something beets, garlic-flavored croutons and whatever salad dressing made outta vile veggie oils.

But if I could “cook”, I would try nothing because I have nothing inside my brain or mind. Since it’s just my dad and me, I don’t cook and find myself NOT eating much by skipping breakfast, only eating “meat” for lunch; and veggies for lunch and dinner.

Dogs or cats?

View all responses

20230724-1143. On our first phone call EVER, our favorite podcaster asked me if I liked animal. Since he is from the dark side of the planet and it was three o’clock in the morning my time, I answered slowly through my foggy mind that animals don’t like me.

For example, I was hanging out with my first VERY fugly dark-skinned guy friend at his friend’s place. We were both sitting down on a sofa or something. I looked outta the back sliding door.

Atop the wooden fence, I saw a grayish or dark-colored cat walking from left to right. As both our gaze met, the cat hissed at me – maybe at least twice. From then on, I guess I was NOT the type to connect with animals.

In our backyard, there are wild birds, which do NOT fly away whenever my elderly father is present. I think the birds recognize my dad more than me. And so when I show up in the backyard, these same wild birds would fly away. This is the second instance that I am NOT the type to connect with animals.

Thirdly, in own hands, I do NOT know how to take care of animals – sick or dying. My own family did NOT say anything as I’m on my own to figure out how to handle such life and death situations.

Also, I do NOT like the smell of poop and pee from these carnivores. Some traditional “Orientals” understand that taking sick and dying animals to the vets is NOT natural and only prolongs the inevitable of meeting the Creator/Maker of our existence and life. Some humanz believe the same about intervention and distrust against doctors/physicians and hospitals.

So yeah, having pets is NOT ideal due to vet expenses, foodstuffs AND responsibilities in cat the doggie or kitty happens to get in trouble or bites another human. That’s just too much to think about in this blog.

Which activities make you lose track of time?

View all responses

20230724-1139. I always have at least one clock or watch available to tell time; so there are NO activities that make me lose track of time.

For some odd reason, recently I have experienced incorrect days of the week. For example, I would think it’s “trashcan day”, meaning Thursday evening for collecting all garbage and recyclables at home for Friday morning pickups of our three carts on the streets.
