Answering a new and inspiring Writing Prompt (Jetpack block) each day.

  • Chatting and blogging

    Daily writing prompt
    In what ways do you communicate online?

    20230610-1248. Since 2006, I’ve been blogging. I’m NOT a professional but free writing is my style of mostly rants where I share my experiences, knowledge, and life online, like a personal diary published for all the see!

    Currently, I’m chatting with a bunch of spooky spook agents and that’s fine with me. I’m interested how spirituality is infused into religion and how science tries to measure the output or results of these experiments.

    I do NOT thrive well by communicating through the phone. I get brain farts and can’t find the correct words or train of thoughts, almost short of stammering but without repeating the words; although I do have echolalia, which is similar OCD or obsessive compulsive disorder.

    I do NOT send too many text messages since there is nobody else except my younger brother who is too busy.

  • Highway California 1

    Daily writing prompt
    Think back on your most memorable road trip.

    20230610-1239. One day my parents and I decided to visit our unbuilt property up in Mendocino County. The normal route was northbound Highway 101.

    But on our way back, I got lost and knew that I should take the straighter path and follow the sign that lead back to Highway 101.

    I took the “scenic route” along Highway California 1 and the switchbacks were terrible and the automatic transmission for our white 2-door Honda Accord sedan had to be repaired.

    But the scenic route of endless fields, small farms and houses, and beautiful oceans, cliffs and sunset was worth that once-in-a-lifetime travel. We would never go that route again.

  • Salty potato chips

    Daily writing prompt
    What snack would you eat right now?

    20230610-1157. I actually almost vacuumed up a whole bag of potato chips, which is gluten free from Costco, where we really don’t visit frequently. I had to read the ingredients and found the the bags of chips that I really wanted had either canola oil or soybean oil.

    I would like to eat chips flavored with spices, vinegar, jalapeño, and other exotic ingredients, such as onion and chives, lemon and lime. But once again, the ingredients are using CHEAP vegetable oils instead of extra virgin olive oil, which is by far the “healthiest” oil to consume.

  • Removing tin foil hats

    Daily writing prompt
    Come up with a crazy business idea.

    20230610-1150. That’s the Bio in my Telegram account: Removing tin foil hats.

    The channels and groups on Telegram seem to be controversial in nature. The usual topics are conspiratorial, such as UAP/UFO and aliens/demons, vaxsins/GMO and health, chemtrails/wildfires and pollutions, intelligence officers and handsome podcasters.

    So that would a crazy business idea: how to remove the blinders from eyeballs that refuse to see the truth by stepping away from the computers and enjoying the outdoors among various lifeforms.

    That’s why I stick around to observe if these youngsters are also brainwashing humanity with their versions of fear porn, which my elderly father hates but which I find amusing and entertaining.

  • My stuffed animal toy

    Daily writing prompt
    Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?

    20230610-1145. I loved my stuffed animal toy: Teddy Bear. He went missing one day and I cried and cried until my mother re-created my teddy bear. But the eyes were golden instead of black! I cried and cried until my mother changed the eyes from golden to black.

    I remember leaving my Teddy Bear on the bed where we would take a nap at our baby sitter. I recall leaving Teddy Bear tucked in the middle of the bed sheet and in the dark and left Teddy Bear, only to return to see it missing.

    I ran everywhere inside the house and JoJo, the babysitter’s son, would tease me that my Teddy Bear was here and there but really nowhere! I believe the bitch took my Teddy Bear. But I do NOT know why or how my stuffed animal toy went missing.

  • Nothing whatsoever

    Daily writing prompt
    What is your mission?

    20230610-1142. I have no mission, cause, movement, project, goal, idea whatsoever. I just eat, sleep, rinse and repeat. There is nothing left except eating my last meal and taking my last breath. I strive for nothing. I hope for nothing.

  • Long meaningful life

    Daily writing prompt
    What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

    20230610-1136. When there is nothing meaningful, then there’s nothing left. And so the concept of living a very long life is only as good as it gets. I don’t get how anyone wants to live long and be dependent on others.

    I strive to do as much as I could by myself but sometimes we need a little help from our friends. However, I do NOT have any friends whatsoever. I do fear the day when I’ll have to retire and live somewhere with strangers who can’t do anything for themselves anymore.

    If there is nothing, then what’s the point of living?

  • I could go outside

    Daily writing prompt
    What could you do differently?

    20230610-1107. Being an introvert means staying indoors and by myself. I do feel alone most of the times but I am NOT alone as my elderly father is the homeowner.

    I really should go outside and enjoy nature. But that means driving around and wasting gasoline and putting myself in potential danger of vehicular accidents.

    But that’s what I get for watching too much videos online showing how drivers pass out behind the wheels and cause accidents.

    I should be able to feed the animal in the zoo and in the shelter.

    I should be able to plant and tend a garden out back.

    I should be able to bicycle, walk and jog in our local park.

    But none of those interest me as I really got so used to being online.

    Maybe one day I’ll actually force myself to go “outdoors” where the Rakes and Wendigos hunt and eat people and where aliens crash land their UAPs/UFOs.

  • Take a pause in life now

    Daily writing prompt
    If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?

    20230610-1101. That was my other WordPress blog site. But now I have four blog sites. I just have to establish a new one each time because I keep getting viewers who are on the other side of the planet as I would prefer those viewers who reside in America.

    I use the word pause which sound like paws of the animals. Pause in life means to take a short break or brief time-out in life here and now and NOT worry about what had happened in the past or what might happen in the future.

    I guess this could be a ministry of how to best cope with the hustle and bustle of a busy lifestyle and deal with unscrupulous and unwanted characters messing up one’s peace of mind and sense of reality.

    So “take a pause in life now”, visit us today or call. Our friendly members are ready for you! Subscribe now! Don’t delay. Your happiness and future awaits. We’re here 24/7.

    That sort of billboard advertisement should work for those seeking solace, answers, and whatever needs to serviced unto humanity.

  • I think about the future

    Daily writing prompt
    Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?

    20230610-1058. I think about the future more than the past because my memories of the past are already fading and I could only look ahead of me.

    With the onset of foggy-brain and probably inherited early dementia, I know that the present is still just as uncertain as the future.

    But at least whatever was in the past has been taken cared of and I do NOT look back, NOT even OLD family photos which are inside the plastic bins, NOT even OLD diaries or scanned archives.

    I just hope that whatever is in the future will be just as memorable as the past.

  • Any gift

    Daily writing prompt
    What is the greatest gift someone could give you?

    20230610-1053. The greatest gift someone could give me is any gift no matter how small.

    A thought, wisdom, cards, flowers, trinkets, sympathy, understanding, hugs, kisses, buggles.

    I could take privacy, security, freedom, liberty, too. But those are ideals and fleeting.

    Hope is one word. So are the words: I know. I know that I have peace, serenity and tranquility, no worries or stress.

    The greatest gift would probably be just a place I could call my own without being bothered too much with responsibilities of family and home life.

  • Two colleges one university

    Daily writing prompt
    What colleges have you attended?

    20230610-1049. I’ve attended San Jose State University (SJSU) and graduated in five years because I did NOT know what I wanted to do and I barely passed my courses, meaning I’m a low “C-average” grade student.

    To make up for courses that I’ve failed and needed to graduate, I attended Evergreen Valley College (EVC) and San José City College (SJCC) at night because most of the daytime classes were already full or taken.
