giving the new blog post idea generator a look-see

WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT! This topic is often on the minds of all types of writers. It’s an es­pe­cially im­por­tant topic for writers who have to fill pages in a print or on­line pub­li­ca­tion where there is a dead­line and quan­tity is often more im­por­tant than quality. So why not a blog post idea generator? [Read more] “giving the new blog post idea generator a look-see”

no sweat (a poem)

No Sweat

(A poem by Ananda)

I am tired of the excuses.
I am unin­spired by the same song.
Seems like every­body wants a quick fix.
Seems like no­body wants to put in the work.

No pain, no sweat.
No gain, no loss.

Seems like every­body wants the promotion

Grow up, Peter Pan!

(A poem by Ananda)

Grow up, Peter Pan!

There will be a day when the dust rubs off;
you’ll hit the ground and look up at the stars;
you’ll sit and wonder, “Where did my life go?” 
‘Cause you’re no longer a Lost Boy,
just an old pi­rate creeper playing little boy games. [Read more] “grow up, peter pan (a poem)”

A couple even had small rooms in the back where little kids weren’t allowed. [Read more] “feeling nostalgic for independent video rental stores”

so this guy offers to buy this girl a drink

AN AR­TICLE ON YAHOO NEWS caught my at­ten­tion. “Guy of­fers a drink to girl at a bar, then re­fuses to pay for it” was pub­lished in 2020 and quickly racked up thou­sands of com­ments. Un­for­tu­nately, the ar­ticle is poorly written and in­com­plete but based on the title it was in­tended to stir up Yahoo readers. [Read more] “so this guy offers to buy this girl a drink”
