A Genre Here. A Genre There


Is that you I see blogland? Geez, it has been a while as we go down the roller coaster of life. The human was far more consistent with my ancestor kitties. I guess we just aren't as fun. Or the human may have found a life with tiny humans and mutts. I'll leave that for you to decide while I go back to watching wildlife.


Where did this fella come from? Get me out of here. That thing probably has poop as big as me.


Whoa. We've ended up in some Shining rip off. Do I really want to creep down these antique halls?


Guess not. Now I have to deal with bears. I thought it was lions, tigers, and bears. Not giraffes and bears.


Hmmm. I may want to rethink my getaway vehicle. That old Charger has sure lost its charge. The electric fence hasn't though. A certain tiny human touched it to find out.


Look at that. The open road. Finally. Freedom. I'm getting the heck back home.


Yeah. I'm heading to the roof. Much safer up there. This blog stuff I'll leave to rhyming cats. I'm not cut out for bears, giraffes, and old hallways.


Kitty sure is a whiner. I think they'd call that a chicken shit. That stuff tastes good. What? The chickens? Them too. Wait. I still got some on my nose.


How was that for a rabbit hole? Did it go deep enough? Maybe not, but it went here, there, and everywhere. Besides, the well above isn't that deep. No need to call Lassie if you fall in.


Did you think the cat was dead? At least you put up a nice cross for me. Could have done a little whipper snipping first though.


Who cares if we are far away? You could hope a boat. 


Or caught me at the above spot.


If you can catch a roller coaster that is. You may fail at that, but I'd enjoy watching you try. Also...seeeee? When I say life has been a roller coaster, I mean it literally.


Until next time, just keep on a moving those legs.



Did you think I'd just hop here and there randomly? It could be a safe bet, but not this time. The IWSG wanted to know:

Is there a genre you haven't tried writing in yet that you really want to try? If so, do you plan on trying it?

Can't say that there is because whenever I wanted to try it, I just tried it. Not saying it was always the best, but it got done. I actually released two new ones this year. One was kinda a mix of what I've done before and another was a new genre for me.

My nephew asked me to write the first for him, and the second was more of something I did for myself. I got them done between writing other stuff, visiting Trump land, going this way and that with the not so tiny humans, and a few other things that I've taken on.

So no plans for me. I just do it and keep on a kicking. Hopefully all the while avoiding giraffes, bears, wells, and the need for a cross.

Getting any writing done? Still a blogging away? Anything new in your zoo? Did you buy a zoo? Now that would be neat of you. Yes. I can still rhyme with ease whenever I please. With or without fleas. See? I don't freeze. I do however pass gas. It just comes right out my little rhyming ass.

See you soon. Maybe some day at noon.

Time To Get Extra Creative


They want me to be extra creative today. Do I have to put down extra words? Is it like over time? I've done enough of that. I don't need to go over time. How can you go over time if it isn't even there? Do you put a clock on the ground and jump over it? Then wouldn't it be over clock? Just something extra to think about. Maybe you can get creative and fight with time for a time. Do it in rhyme. That would be a fun time. Afterwards switch back to normal speak. That will send em up the creek. Which creek though? I guess the nearest to them. We wouldn't want them to have to waste gas money driving too far. Unless there are alligators. We may want to avoid that creek. Not sure what alligators would be doing in a creek, but you just never know. Plus, alligators in a creek is probably more plausible than fighting time and sending the mysterious them who fight it to a creek. Just saying...err...umm...typing. I better get on with this so I can be creative elsewhere and answer the question. Or would that be defying the point? Is there a point? Is the question pointy? Watch your fingers, kiddos. The pointy questions may be dangerous.

What creative activity do you engage in when you're not writing?


Shadow stalking. The art of shadow stalking is so creative. Especially when it is cloudy. Doesn't hurt to have a mini me shadow for that extra bit of creativity either.


The cat pizza making. Yeah. I really sorta maybe kinda made that. No. I didn't order it. Nope. Not me. I am soooo creative with pizza. Something I don't even eat, but I'm so creative.


Refereeing trampoline death matches for children. It is so creative to just let them go at it while I play on my phone and ignore them as they elbow each other in the eyeball, right? What? I was told not to hover. 


Animal dressing. As you can see my clients are so happy with the end result. Doesn't that face just scream happiness?


Dog playground patrol. First you make them think they are going for a walk. Next you tie them to the playground. After that you just walk away and let them scare any kids. See? Sooooo easy.


Best of all....wait for it....wait for it...child bowling. Send them down the aisle and then start chucking bowling balls down. You'll never have a better time as they scream and hop lanes.


Relaxing with friends can be creative too. I mean just figuring out what to wear is creative in and of itself. There is just so much in the closet. Choices. Choices.


Finally, there is the stuffing of big things in small things. Hmmm...that sounds a bit naughty. Stay out of the gutter. It can be more fun if they squirm. So alive is preferable. Hmmm...that sounds bad too. Better end my creativeness before I obtain that R rating. What? No. He didn't walk in there on his own. Why would a dog ever walk into a cat cage? Thinking that is just silly.

And there you have it one and all. These are just a few that came to mind. We'd be here for years if I spilled all my creative doings while not writing, especially considering I haven't done much of that in a while. I wouldn't recommend trying these unless you are a super duper pro though. You should just stick to clock jumping. Probably be less fines and jail time that way. 

Do anything creative when not writing at your place? Ever try kid bowling? Do you believe I may have gotten creative with my creative? If not, I have a bridge I've been holding onto that I will sell you for a low, low price. To inquire head to the playground with the dogs guarding it. Just turn left after jumping over the clock and keep going straight until you see them.

What? I didn't answer? Pfffft. Sure I did. You just didn't look close enough. Forest and trees and all that stuff. Yeah. I said the idiom wrong. Oh well. I still can use pee up a rope right if one prefers. Any more questions you want answered? No? Oh, you're back to the alligator in the creek, are you? Watch out. I hear Bigfoot is the new leader of the creek alligators. 

Bigfoot's Creek Alligators
Coming soon to a creek near you

Now didn't that take a turn? That a question or a statement? Beats me. Depends how you take it I suppose. Why am I asking myself that when it is you who should ask that? Beats me. No beating though. I'm brittle. 

Are we at the end yet? Do you see how creative I can be? Mind always working, even when I may or may not be lying. What? You believe I kid bowled but didn't make the cat pizza? You really need to buy my bridge. Remember just to go straight. Your bridge is waiting. See you soon.

Enjoy life, forget the strife.
