My blog, welcome.
Credit goes to Norbanus for this wonderful poem. Much thanks for the gift.

Nero: The Legend and Fiend


To read the mind of madness, as a rule
Is wrought with pitfalls leading but to grief.
When Nero smiled Rome nodded as one fool,
most jumping in to hide their disbelief

But there were some, who understood his ways,
who didn't blab while planning a new track.
The story of his end goes on days.
His corpus tossed into the trash out back.

The gladius then sheathed, or so they say.
His guards had done the job without a hitch.
His broken dream of art had gone its way.
His "Qualis antifex" now in the ditch.

We read of his great falling from his perch,
did he think that he’d left Rome in a lurch?



Welcome friends!

This insane, wild, and honest blog is home to my thoughts, observations, and daily musings on whatever may arise. Enjoy your stay.

On Strange Hypotheticals
May 20, 2020 at 2:18pm
PROMPT May 20th If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you choose? Well this is an interesting prompt; it should have an easy answer but if you take a few seconds to think on it, you find it doesn’t. To the creator of said prompt, I applaud you. Oh, and here’s a cookie because cookies are brilliant: 🍪 I suppose if I lived to be ninety years old, then I would choose to have ... [Read more]
The Returning
May 18, 2020 at 1:52am
May 17, 2020 ¡Hola amigas! Yo regreso. ¿Cómo estás? Lo estoy haciendo bien, supongo. I’m not sure if any noticed my lack of a presence on here or not, considering I still looked at what was in the newsfeed, though didn’t write in my blog or port. I suppose it doesn’t matter either way, but I wanted to write a piece now anyway. I was thinking about college and what I want to attend when I’m eligible, and I think I have a good idea of one. I don’t quite want the reve... [Read more]
Everything Went To The Dogs
May 12, 2020 at 9:22pm
May 12, 2020 Alright so today’s entry is more personal and less light hearted then a bloody funeral, so if that is not your delicious cup of tea then my friends, I suggest you slip out the back. Now that that is done, why don’t we start eh? Last night I received a text from Kat that basically told me she couldn’t do it anymore; where it meant our friendship and anything beyond that. She told me she’d try again when she is better. So without getting that much into it, I lef... [Read more]
Useless Views
May 9, 2020 at 12:16am
PROMPT May 8th 🍿Take a look at this list of values: https://liveboldandbloom.com/wp-content/...🍿 Pick your top ten values and rank them based on how important they are to you. Then, write about the values you chose and if any have changed throughout your life. Alright, before I dive into the useless things I look for in people or this screwed up world, I want to add this. I saw a couple of bloggers saying virtues are different than values, because values are more sel... [Read more]
Demons + Old Memories
May 8, 2020 at 5:29pm
Hi guys! I’m back. I need to vent for a second. So I just texted an old friend telling them I was sorry for ending the friendship and so on. It happened about a year or so ago now but hey, better late than never I suppose. She said she forgives me and that yes, we can talk. I would have been okay with not talking, I just wanted to get that off my chest. The thing is, we’re very different people. She’s into romance, is disgusted by the LGBTQ+ community, and doesn’t understand psyc... [Read more]
Beliefs
May 8, 2020 at 2:11am
PROMPT May 7th Start your entry today with the words: “I used to believe...” I used to believe in: Goodness. I always believed people would keep their word and that they were relatively good. I know that many people in this world are good but there’s still a lot that aren’t. I’m tired of promises being made and then broken. Why make any if you have at least a small notion that you can’t keep them? That God wasn’t real. For context, I live i... [Read more]
The Eye of the Beholder
May 8, 2020 at 3:35pm
PROMPT May 6th Write about an object you own that has negligible monetary value, but is priceless to you. My grandmother has given me a few priceless things over the years. Oh, they aren’t worth maybe $10, but I like them. She’s my mother’s mom and has been all over the world. Her travels have taken her to almost every country, and her stories would wow anyone. But a few things she’s bestowed upon me are: A bright red and yellow small money pouch. It’s beautiful. S... [Read more]
Mere Gibberish
May 8, 2020 at 2:08am
Day 2727: May 5, 2020 Prompt: Use these words in your blog entry: rain, clouds, valley, taco, turkey, smartphone, and wind. Fair Warning: This isn’t very good. It was just a challenge I took to see if I could write nonstop for a few minutes. El valle de la muerte, the locals called it, the Valley of Death. Whispers of hauntings and salacious murders were always spoken about the beautiful place, as if speaking it out loud would make the spirits arise. At night, wh... [Read more]
My Cooking Skills
May 4, 2020 at 10:30pm
PROMPT May 4th Describe your cooking or baking ability. What was the last thing you cooked/baked that you we’re proud of? Are you a recipe-follower or freestyler? A few days ago I made some cookie-cake sandwiches. It was red velvet cake made into cookies with chocolate icing in the middle. It was really good and my family loved it! But I am definitely a recipe-follower. I like the structure it brings and it’s kind of calming. Also I’m a complete novice in baking... [Read more]
Strength
May 4, 2020 at 9:49pm
Day 2726: May 4, 2020 Prompt: With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts. Eleanor Roosevelt Let this quote inspire your blog entry today. This should be an easy thing to write about, but it’s not. One, because I have no physical strength, let alone mental; And two, because the “new thoughts” are most likely referring to positive ones and not negative. Well, I suppose I must try though. Here goes. There are some things that make my mornings good at tim... [Read more]
Best Friend and Moonlight
May 4, 2020 at 9:12pm
PROMPT May 3rd What do you do you relax and unwind in the evening? Paint us a picture of your ideal relaxation. Before I get into this I just want to say one thing. I see a lot of bloggers being positive about this whole thing (or life in general) and while commend them on this, I can’t do that. I can try, but it never ends up well in the long run. Call it God, fate, karma but being a positive person just doesn’t work for me. Now for the prompt response. I would say ... [Read more]
Characters Of A Different World
May 3, 2020 at 2:06am
Prompt for April 2, 2020 What one fictional character would most like to meet and talk to? Why? What would you like to ask? I would want to meet Hermione Granger, I think. She would know so much and I could ask her “Did you really want to get with Ron?” But no. Jokes aside, I would ask her how hard was it to enter a world that you knew nothing about? To meet people who scorned you daily all because of your blood? The reason is a simple one really. That world is a paralle... [Read more]
May Flowers
May 3, 2020 at 5:29pm
Considering I’m getting a bit heavy with my writing, I decided to lighten the mood with my take on today’s prompt. Day 2724: May 2, 2020 Prompt: The Flowers of May The flowers of May, they bloom with quite intoxicating, heavenly and colorful petals. Their beauty is known far and wide in the nations we all call our wonderful home. Orange, yellow, pink, blue, red, white, green; these are the flowers that bloom in the month of May. {embed:giphy:14... [Read more]
