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

  • Don’t mess with me, bud!

    Daily writing prompt
    What’s the first impression you want to give people?

    20241230-2242. That’s the odor, smell or aura that I seem to give off. This would probably explain why no one would dare to approach me in person.

    I dress funny. I walk funny. And I behave and talk funny. It’s NOT funny when I’m NOT laughing. Because, frankly, I just don’t get it.

    After all my years learning from schools and others, I learned to hate y’all. So that’s the first impression that I don’t wanna give to people but I’m stuck with it. Huh.

    That’s all. End 2244 PST.

  • Transhuman Genocide

    Daily writing prompt
    What book are you reading right now?

    20241230-2238. I’ve ordered two paper books copies. Each book has a different design. The first book is thicker. The second book is like a glossary or index.

    I just read maybe one hour and stopped reading. I just don’t have the patience. I don’t know what I’ll learn from reading books because I just as easily forget the content just like forgetting what I had for breakfast this morning.

    So there “Japanese Word for Book Collection” (per AI LEO by Brave):

    Tsundoku (): The Japanese word for collecting books without reading them. It is a portmanteau of “tsunde-oku” (), meaning “to pile things up for later,” and “doku” (), meaning “reading.” Tsundoku refers to the act of acquiring and storing books, often in large quantities, without necessarily reading them. This phenomenon is deeply rooted in Japanese culture and is often seen as a sign of intellectual curiosity and love for literature.

    That’s what I do, I guess – collect books.

    That’s all. End 2241 PST.

  • Somewhere away from here

    Daily writing prompt
    If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

    20241230-2232. I haven’t planned or thought of living anywhere but staying here. But I would really like to move away from here. The traffic is too much. My long stretch of Road is being used by high-speed motorists. And my city does NOT give a damned if the homeless concerns merely moved one block away!

    I would probably live in the mountains; so I could use one of those fancy telescopes to view the night skies and listen to night critters, too. I would guess, however, that the chemtrails are closer to the skies in those mountains.

    I don’t think living near the coast is a good idea, in regions full of religious fanatics, or in zones prone to weather anomalies or extreme temperatures.

    That’s all. End 2238 PST.

  • I found a twenty dollar bill

    Daily writing prompt
    What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?

    20241230-2230. That’s correct! I squealed in delight after finding a twenty dollar bill lying in the street gutter after buying some barbecue food from a local black store off the busy street.

    I do NOT recall if I spent it or gave it away. All I know that I was happy to have found it and do recall smiling widely with a wide grin or so I imagined.

    That’s all. End 2232 PST.

  • Exercising for my own good

    Daily writing prompt
    What part of your routine do you always try to skip if you can?

    20241230-2222. I have my Reminder app and a strange voice that reads my tasks too fast. I had set Allison (Enhanced) has to announce the time On the quarter hour. But for whatever reason, I can’t select her voice over the fast one.

    So the strange fast voice reminds me to “Exercise Now”! But I just don’t have the time to squeeze-in my computer activities today; since today was busy with the outdoor activities of PG&E/DALEO.

    That’s why I’m fat. I’d skip exercising as much as possible because it’s tiring after a while and I just do NOT like to sweat and smell stink!

    That’s all. End 2229 PST.

  • No one worth mentioning

    Daily writing prompt
    Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met?

    20241230-2214. The only persons whom I’ve met in person are ordinary folks and I never really met anyone famous or infamous. If I ever did meet anyone “mainstream”, I didn’t and wouldn’t know the difference.

    The closest would be a CEO of a HUGE company where I used to work. We were in a group and he didn’t say anything but just stood there amongst us. But that was long time ago.

    Then there were two contacts that I keep mentioning and two more contacts whom I did NOT report to the alphabet soup agency.

    Then there were some players on social media. Two seem to be worth dying for; while the others appear to be surrogates of some sort. But I do NOT know.

    That’s all. End 2222 PST.

  • Being close to loved ones

    Daily writing prompt
    What is good about having a pet?

    20241230-2211. Loving. That’s what I learned when I had a pet. We had goldfishes and parakeets. One pet parakeet by the name of Mel-Mel or Mel was the one I truly grieved over and more so than that of people. Besides NOT really knowing how to take care of these pets, loving them like family was the greatest reward.

    That’s all. End 2213 PST.

  • Computer devices

    Daily writing prompt
    Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car).

    20241230-2200. Ever since I joined the main SVP choir, I wasted money on buying computer devices (especially my iPad PRO 12.5 inch (2nd generations) AND purchasing both downloadable and paper sheet musics that I could never accompany “live” or sing ever again; since I am no longer participating in the group. This all happened from 2013 and all the way to the COVID lockdowns.

    On Christmas day, I got a Christmas greeting via text message from one the choir members. Amy V inquired if my I would ever go back to singing with the choir. I told her the my dad misses the choir but the “feeling” wasn’t the same after the COVID lockdowns. I didn’t indicate if I would be the one to come back.

    Off-topic: After the COVID lockdowns, I was happy to leave the group. This reduced my anxiety to be in public and stress of singing the perfect notes. Plus, I was having a difficult time hearing and following along with the choir leader. I just didn’t feel comfortable rehearsing at NIGHT and while the doors were kept UNLOCKED! In addition, the coo-coo NextDoor neighbor, who kept stalking me to my local church, seems to be “quieter” – now that I’m staying home. She probably has stress and anxiety that I’m going out with someone, somewhere. Sheesh.

    That’s all. End 2209 PST.

  • Only one podcast so far

    Daily writing prompt
    What podcasts are you listening to?

    20241230-2153. So here’s the deal. The live stream would be done and said. And then the owner would upload the content to various platforms for listening and/or downloading. The live stream happens on the “dark side of the planet”. So those living in different time zones would be fast asleep and miss his live streams. I listen to one site called STFN and that’s all I could handle for now.

    That’s all. End 2159 PDT.

  • Miss Mathematician

    Daily writing prompt
    What was your favorite subject in school?

    20241230-2148. Basic arithmetics. During my childhood/grade school, I used to be number one in my class(es) and would win almost all the mini-competition(s) in the classroom(s). I remember Alicia G (a chubby Filipino) was faster than me. We called out the answers to the multiplication card that the teacher held up. I remember blurting out incorrectly the answer to 9 times 3 and lost.

    That’s all. End 2152 PST.

  • Not managing screen time

    Daily writing prompt
    How do you manage screen time for yourself?

    20241229-2253. I only look at my clock located on the upper right hand corner of my computer screen.

    When I feel tired of working at my computer or blogging hurriedly to finish more of these questions, I look up at my computer clock and force myself to type quicker before the last few minutes hit the hour mark.

    I’ve set the Reminder app to announce the next task and that helps me to exercise and take a look at what task hasn’t be finished or looked at.

    So now I have four minutes remaining but I have six more questions in this set that I wanna finish. But because I’m feeling tired, I’ll have to end my typing here and pick up the rest for tomorrow while team PG&E/DALEO completes messing up our area.

    That’s all. End 2257 PST.

  • I have lots of time

    Daily writing prompt
    Do you need time?

    20241229-2248. I had all the time to learn new skills. But my memory is NOT as good anymore. I have no patience for learning anything new. My eyesight and hearing are deteriorating. And I’m feeling more aches and pains than ever before in my life!

    With that said, I need more time to figure out where I’m going and what I’m going to do should the shat happens to fall. I need less time thinking and worrying about something I know nothing about.

    And frankly I could care less if anything happens at all. I need time to pause once in while so I could reflect on what happened and why and how I could have fixed it sooner rather than later.

    But enough has been said. I lack the will and strong faith to just let it all go away and to have no doubt whatsoever that there is nothing to worry about – after all.

    Time will tell, eh?

    That’s all. End 2252 PST.
