180 Degrees Of Heaven #SoCS

That prompt is “stuff.” Simple, right? Ehh, maybe, maybe not. You could go direct: literal, basic. Stuff as a thing is pretty ubiquitous. Or you could go all metaphorical, even symbolic …

From my left to my right as I’m sitting on my couch, there is a lot of stuff. That’s about 180 degrees coverage. I shall now describe the “stuff 180.”

  1. A wooden buffalo box for storage that I usually store nothing in.
  2. Sweet Frog frozen yogurt coupons.
  3. A retractable bear claw back scratcher.
  4. The wrapping and packaging for my Nook Sarah bought me.
  5. A lamp.
  6. The tv remote. (of course it’s by me).
  7. My extra large navy colored coffee cup.
  8. My iphone portable charger battery pack.
  9. Glasses cleaning handi-wipes.
  10. My Nook 🙂
  11. My iphone 6 plus.
  12. A framed photo of all three of my kids holding signs they made for me for Father’s day about 3 years ago.
  13. The Family Rules.
  14. Our gigantic TV playing “A Christmas Story.”
  15. The fireplace with framed photos of all of us above it and a wall decal that reads, “Family is Forever.”
  16. My “WHO” award and trophy I was awarded by the teachers union.
  17. My daily supply of firewood.
  18. A lamp.
  19. My wife. My son.
  20. My older daughter on the floor.
  21. My youngest daughter on the couch next to me.
  22. And of course, back home to ME.

One Lucky Blogger

In response to this prompt, I decided to write a micro-story about one lucky guy who blogs, and his enchanted history made possible by his wife, the un-imitable Sarah. 🙂 I could never have wasted as much time without her! Seriously, blogging has become an amazing hobby for me. Here’s a “quip” of the long story. Enjoy.

bloggingatozOnce upon a time in 2005, a 35 year old guy named Damien wanted to start a WordPress Blog. He had dilly dallied on Geocities and Blogspot but he wanted a self-hosted WordPress blog like the ones he had seen on so many of his online friends’ domains.

One day when he got home from a rigorous day of teaching, his wife surprised him with a brand new laptop. It was shiny and smelled like electronics. He bought a domain, rileycentral.net, and installed WordPress software on it. He read, sought forums, and blog circles, growing to love blogging as his finest hobby.
