I am literally taking the easy way out. I am not depressed anymore, which means I don’t have any creative juice left in me. So I’ma gonna have to stick to a few quotes. By the way, if anything, you have to atleast read the wikipedia article on Oscar Wilde. Very Interesting Character.

We do not talk – we bludgeon one another with facts and theories gleaned from cursory readings of newspapers, magazines and digests.

Before I go nosing around here, I just wanted to say I know that no-depression-no-creativity feeling well. Although I did enjoy being bludgeoned by your many examples of the daily prompt.

I have a habit of searching for meaning, synonyms and image references for words, just to see whats out there. So I stumbled upon the images. The rest was extra gravy. So glad you liked it. My mind is deplete of any creative juice. Usually I go for a narrative related to personal experience that the word triggers, or a poem. Anyway, I am glad that u liked it.

I did enjoy it. I suppose creativity comes and goes. Especially when you threw in that sports person. That was funny and caught me off guard. Sometimes my mind is just blank. So at least you came up with something. You worked it.

A very interesting collection of quotes, though I must differ w/ Lovecraft. I’ll never think of the word “bludgeon” the same way again. Have a Merry Christmas!
