PROMPT: The Future or the Past
Daily writing prompt
Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?
How would I know? When I’m doing either – by definition – my mind is wandering. Ergo, I have no metacognitive engagement. (i.e. I’m not timing or encoding— and certainly not recording— mental objects.)

PROMPT: Technology
Blenders. They’re loud, annoying sounding, and we have both liquid and solid foods — there is no cause for liquifying solid foods.
Plus, I’m fond of all ten fingers.

FIVE WISE LINES [November 2025]
A thing is mighty big when time
Zora Neale hurston; Tell my horse

go with him twain.

The successful ones keep their mouths shut.

PROMPT: Invent a Holiday
Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.
National Slap an Idiotic Billionaire Day. A day during which anyone can open-hand slap any billionaire who says anything radically divorced from reality or which – despite all necessary resources to self-educate – shows a woeful lack of understanding of how the world works. (Doing so without repercussion, provided one uses only the force generated by one’s own musculature.)
It’s not that I’m anti-billionaire, but I have noticed a striking number of people who’ve amassed tremendous sums of money but who couldn’t pass sophomore economics without a daddy buying a library.

What’s something most people don’t know about you?
I’m a genius. I know everybody always says, “If nobody recognizes your genius, you’re not a genius,” but…. [I can’t really think of a rebuttal, seems airtight, now that I think about it.]

PROMPT: Successful
When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?
Ron Burgundy, because he’s a legend, and the legend continues.
