PROMPT: Lose Yourself
Reading, walking, writing, swimming, thinking, and epic rap battles. You’ve only got one shot…

PROMPT: Spree
I’m not a fan of the “spree.” I don’t like a shopping spree and I don’t like a murder spree and I really don’t like a shopping mall shopping / murder spree.

PROMPT: Failure
Daily writing prompt
How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?
In juggling one must fail a million times to have any hope.
But what is success and what is failure? I’m not sure I know.

PROMPT: Biggest Challenge
Daily writing prompt
What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?
I certainly have my ideas, but I’m not going to jinx it or create a self-fulfilling prophecy on the matter. Sometimes the easy is hard and the hard comes easy, and — above all — people suck at making predictions (except in the case of self-fulfilling prophesies.)

PROMPT: Lost Interest
Daily writing prompt
Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?
I used to play with blocks and Lincoln Logs, but as I was not interested in majoring in Architecture, there was no way to respectably continue the activity.

PROMPT: Favorite Sports
I would gladly watch free-form survival games, such as the Hunger Games or the Running Man, if such sports were actually available in my viewing area. As for playing, I like darts.

PROMPT: Family Traditions
1.) The Feast of St. Nicholas of Myra: It’s like Secret Santa, but each family member draws a name from a hat, and they then abscond with a prized position of the person whose name they drew and pawn it at a local pawn shop. They then hide the receipt in the house. Family members each have 15 minutes to find the receipt. If they find it, they get their shit back. If they do not, the “Secret Santa” gets to keep the cash.
2.) Hide the weasel: You hide a hungry weasel in someone’s room without telling them, and they have to find it before they get a toe bit off.
3.) Candle lighting roulette: candles are set in a revolving candelabra, which is given a spin. Family members take turns stepping forward to light the candle that is closest to them. One candle hides an M-80 firecracker which explodes to spatter the unlucky family member with hot wax.

PROMPT: Leisure Time
Nothing that involves wearing a leisure suit, or a suit of any kind. Except, perhaps, a swimsuit or my birthday suit, or playing a suit in a game of cards… What were we talking about?
