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

  • None

    What is your favorite restaurant?

    20230429-0251. I do NOT dine out. I do NOT have a favorite restaurant. I used to eat at fast food joints and other family diners. But I no longer have the interest to explore or the fast digestion of my younger counterparts.

    The food seems tasteless and well I already know how food tastes like. I tried fasting for three days without solid food and that worked out well. I just drank my electrolyte drink the whole time.

    So yeah I could loose more weigh by NOT eating. That worked for me in the past when I was younger. I noticed that eating less meat makes my muscle shrink, too.

  • Same old

    Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

    20230429-0247. In my previous blog here, I do NOT see myself changing my lifestyle. I’ll continue to stay indoors and blog. I’ll supplement my extra time with podcasts, music, and scary stories online.

    I won’t be doing much except drink coffee, cook meals, doing chores, and nothing more than being free from influences by others.

    I don’t see myself going anywhere or out socializing either. I’ll just stay introverted and peaceful.

  • Five Happiness

    What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?

    1. Jumping outta bed pain free. I’ve been feeling aches and pains and one night I thought I was a goner. My hearts was racing. But if y’all really KNEW me, I would take DARK roasted whole bean coffee: that’s loaded with real caffeine by the way and makes for good diuretics, which I need daily.

    2. Pleasant weather. I love our climate of fresh clean air, cool breeze, warm sunny days. This brings the birds. But I think they don’t like our wild bird seeds and they can’t seem to find the bird bath where we relocated to another corner of our backyard and away from areas that can grow those tall dandelions weeds and other ground coverings.

    3. Caffeinated coffee. – See the first explanation. I’ve been grinding my whole bean coffee and recently been drinking my coffee without cream. I don’t add sugar to my coffee because I might get too fat or diabetic too. Without the cream or sugar, I could better taste the chocolate, fruits, spices, and aromatic stuff, too.

    4. Relatively successful recipes. – I have to no choice but to cook fresh. And that means to buy organic food and cook before meals. I’ve learned that eating the meals warm within 60-90 minutes of cooking is good instead of microwaving. I also learned to rotate the different kinds of ingredients so that eating won’t be so predictable.

    5. Happy birds. We have two remaining parakeets. They are getting old. They have been taking longer naps and for the most part have been quiet. I think they are happy but I don’t think they like the same seeds every day. I try to feed them fresh veggies. But it’s almost like it’s foreign to them since they haven’t been around other birds to know how to forage.

  • Nothing really

    Describe something you learned in high school.

    20230429-0233. I actually do NOT recall any highlight that I learned in high school. I only went with the flow and tried my best to pass each class. I learned nothing – absolutely nothing.

    I only enjoyed my elective classes, such as choir, guitar, and home economics. I thrived on math and physics but could not write or talk well.

    I learned that some students would cheat and a couple of “honors students” wanted me to lie by signing their names on a roster for a meeting:- I did NOT do that and they got mad and ignored me.

    So I failed to socialize well and did NOT attend any of those damned social functions and to this day I’m still living in this same old house doing that same thing – minding my own business until the day I die.

  • Last year before the New Year

    When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?

    20230429-0226. Yeah, that’s called investment. I didn’t want anything to be lost or so devalued that I “withdrew” most of it and invested it – only knowing full well that anything can be lost at anytime.

    So far I’m still losing. I’m a loser. Anything that I “imagined” didn’t turn out as expected. Of course, I’m hurt and should stop. But I can’t. It’s inherited and it’s something that I’m used to doing after all these long years.

    Call it gambling or donating or the like. It’s all the same to me. Someone gives and someone takes or loots. No questions asked. Just doing it to survive like everyone else. I’m sure y’all know what I mean.

    It’s all about trying to make ends meet and y’all would do anything to make it happen. Correct? That’s why these stars and celebrities are so successful – selling out, even their own morals, ethics and VERY souls.

    Did I fall on hard times and so hard, too, like the rest of humanity? That’s a risk I’m willing to take to fully “immerse” myself in this nonsense of trying to “get ahead” and be “number one” – the winner takes it all.

  • Giving all that I have AND more

    Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.

    20230429-0220. Yup. I risked it all – NOT one, NOT twice, but three, four, five and more times! I guess I’ll never learn to say – NO – enough is enough!

    I guess I could be that type of person that refuses to take NO for an answer. Whether y’all like it or NOT, I do NOT want to hear or see that you do NOT like, want or need anything!

    I have someone close who continues to say NO. He is born under the astrological sign of Taurus, which is a bull. A bull is thickly built, bulky and slow.

    And yes, when a Taurus says, NO, that’s it: there is no “winning” against a negative. This has been this way for all my life.

    And so for whatever reason, the next generation, which is me, would do the opposite of “NO” and insist of a “YES” or positive response or reply or answer.

    See? That’s my framework on regrets. I did NOT regret doing what I’ve done for so many long years. I just regretted that it had to happen on my watch.

  • Sue their fat asses off

    Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently?

    20230429-0204. To make a long story short, I would have sued their fat asses off. But as I learned to get a grip of what happened and why I decided to just “let it go”, I realized more lies upon lies.

    Y’all know – like layers upon layers of onion that tears would continue to fall. Had I pursued that action, I would have been a “happy woman” as per a cellphone conversation with that “fat bastard”.

    Alas, I’ve learned about how the Three Stooges would forward a debt owed in an endless cycle. And so that’s how this whole wide world operates – call it profit or non-profit.

    The “value” of getting stuff and giving stuff gets circulated – inside one pocket and outside the other pocket – endlessly.

    Call it a scam or spam or money-laundering or gambling or confidence game – it’s all about psychological warfare and how anyone can believe it or not with or without faith in just about anything.

    The greatest lesson is to learn for bad stuff. And so while I could have taken one action, either way was meant to teach me to discern better and that we are NOT entirely free from “mind-controlled” slavery – EVER.

  • Socializing with people

    What makes you nervous?

    20230429-0158. Believe it or not, just being around people makes me nervous! I could just be a introvert but I do enjoy socializing or at least try to find enjoyment with others.

    Y’all see, I growing more deaf and blind. And since I’ve been hard of hearing, talking in large crowds and noisy venues is just NOT my cup of tea!

    I can’t carry on normal conversations as I’d have others repeat what was said and after years of reading lips or at least guessing what was said in context, my mind has hardened enough so that I just do NOT care for talking much.

    With that, I’ve lost the conventional “social skills” to carry on with others. Ask me a simple question and the answers would be wrong or indecipherable. As bad as it may sound, that’s NOT true.

    I just have a bad temper and demand to be heard and will cut off the conversation when it gets too much. I guess I want to be perfect but talking with a bunch of strangers is nerve-wracking enough!

  • Listen to relaxing music

    How do you unwind after a demanding day?

    20230429-0152. I’m currently subscribed to this Apple One monthly plan, which includes Music! I never really enjoyed listening to music and barely recall any lyrics worth singing.

    Now I’ve learned that ambient sounds are better than screaming lyrics that hurt my ears! I needed this new lifestyle – one of mediations, calmness and relaxation.

    Before I used to enjoy rock and popular dance musics. Now I can tolerate metal music when I’m pissed off but when it’s time to wind down, I need something to distract my mind – and that’s instrumental music.

    Actually, I do watch videos – short clips lasting no more than a couple of minutes. I do get impatient, wanting to know how the stories end. So I prefer browsing online for brief news, commentaries and the like.

    Then as my eyelids get heavy and while the soft music plays in the background, I drift into sleep and when I wake up my iPhone music is still playing.

  • Troll among the moles

    How do you use social media?

    20230429-0143. I still do NOT understand the word definition of “troll”. I suspect that’s based on a superstitious belief of some folklore or ancient myth about a scary creature hiding underneath a bridge and then scaring travelers or something like that.

    So I have used social media to vent my frustrations against the whole wide world and NOT knowing that there are some sensitive viewers or readers.

    In the past I used to just rant and rave and I still do but mostly to myself and all the while muttering under my breath. Why? For those who know – it’s my bane behind the concept of “paying it forward”. Yup.

    Since those incidences continue to happen on my watch, I’ve been lead mysteriously enough to certain players online and learning THEY are “specially-gifted” in the spiritual sense, if y’all will.

    After our favorite daily messenger posted a comment rebuking my blogging activities, I was totally bummed out and had everything deleted!

    Thank goodness I saved the duplicate .xml files, which helped me to restore my OLD blogs with comments, too, of which I won’t publish since those span two decades, I think. Too much to read. Just keeping those for prosperity sake.

    Yeah, so now I’m back but answering daily prompts instead of just writing a “personal diary”. I think this blog will do fairly well. Huh.

  • Jot a dot and a rhyme

    Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.

    20230429-0136. It’s getting late again for my bedtime. I have this “Pure Meditation Apple Music Wellbeing” playing on my iPhone and to my left and so I’m relaxed while trying to caught up on these Jetpack Daily Prompts.

    I could NOT think of anything except a rhyme for the first word of this daily prompt – jot and then the word dot.

    As I age, I feel more aches and pain and suffering along the way. So to sooth my ragged nerves and stress from reading controversial topics on my daily feed of doom and gloom, such as 5G, energy attacks, and spiritual warfare, I have been listening to calm music!

    That’s correct! I’m loving my lifestyle of solitude until my next dose with our favorite podcaster who annoys the crap outta me sometimes when he criticizes other opinions and based on his intel reports and scary UFO experiences and near-death alien abductions.

  • Oh, geez, this guy!

    Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.

    20230429-0129. I’m talking lots of interesting guys but mostly online. Well, to say the least, a handful in person, too. But I digress as each encounter has a story.

    Anyways, one stranger taught me about love and light. And being a gullible fool who believes without questioning, I followed and subscribed and learned that nothing has changed.

    If I had to bunch up all these guys together into one ball of mess, I’d say I’m rather complacent and positively convinced that each and everyone is a spooky agent!

    So as a loyal subject, who has learned to “pay it forward”, I too would NOT let go of him as I felt loved by him. Hey! Y’all know it could be anyone!
