“Step right up!” Said the man wearing the black top hat. “Someone is burned deep into your memory and you just can’t forget them! In the past, humanity wrote poems, painted, and formed Greek statues, but now, with my new invention, the Memory Imprint Doll, patented and copyrighted in 3456 AD — You can have that girl or guy you dream of… at least for one hour! All in accordance with state, federal and galactic privacy laws, of course…”

The man wearing the top hat continued speaking on the hover-stage as Aba watched. …

Gaia Poetry

but he was definitely a red mushroom with white spots like in Super Mario Brothers on your Nintendo Switch

but Santa was a Coke bottle, too, and he went all around the world

and Jesus went with him of course

probably in a more aggressive way than we can all imagine

just Google the last 2000 years and see what comes up

like the last enclave in pagan Prussia to convert was in 1500 AD

that was 500 years ago, bra

you don’t have to believe me

everything is calmer and stuff, right now

and…

Poetry

You can have guests at your house,

You can kiss your spouse,

You can walk, jog, bike and hike without an N-95 mask,

But what about other important tasks?

Keep in mind,

You should keep to yourself,

Because this is how you avoid dire,

Harmful risks,

To your health.

But don’t feel nervous,

Scared,

Anxious,

Or freaked out.

The history books,

Written in the future,

Will surely explain to us,

What the Covid-19 Pandemic,

Was all about.

Sarabeth is no joke when it comes to work and identity. I mean, she’s even done a TEDx Talk.

What’s in a Hybrid?

Sarabeth does something vastly different from what other people do when it comes to networking and everyday conversation — she never shies away from calling herself a hybrid…

In a movie called Enter the Dragon the famous martial artist and actor Bruce Lee says, “Kick me!” to his student.

Then Bruce says the student should feel and not think. This line is famous and you can find many memes and GIFs of it online.

Why did Bruce say this?

Most likely it’s because the student in the movie has already learned how to kick and now it’s time for him to stop thinking about the “how” and to start feeling the “kick.” …

Beer

I was at a resort with my family in Cozumel, Mexico once. There you can drink when you’re 18.

Other youngsters my brother and I met during the trip would hang out by the pool and the beach at this all inclusive resort drinking every single night. I even got a hangover and vomited when we hiked out one morning to a cave to go snorkeling.

There were a couple men from Belgium there who were loud and partying hard the whole week. …

WRITING TIPS

Normal writer’s block is like a typical character in a movie. The actor or actress types into a typewriter, then stops and thinks for second, shakes their head back and forth “no” with a frown.

Then they pull the page out with two hands, crumple it up, and toss it towards a small trashcan, but miss.

My writing life isn’t like this at all, though.

My writing life is digital like yours!

Jewelry

You’re probably thinking that if I wear man jewelry then I must have tattoos, I must wear obnoxious colored hats and suits, and maybe I put on makeup, too. Black eyeliner? I would totally try that! But no, I just wear two bracelets and two necklaces.

What am I wearing?

The bracelets I wear, I wear both on my left wrist. Why on my left wrist? Keeps my right arm free of obstruction I guess.

Ring, Ring, Ring!

I never got into rings and I never bought one when they were available to me from ending high school or college…
