Sometimes I start my Thoughts paper with nothing to say. I put in the date and save it as a document, but I have no idea what I’m going to talk about. There are some things I could talk about, but I don’t want to talk about them. I had an idea when I was coming to work so I’m going to talk about that. The idea was for a title to a book or a blog. It was An Atheist’s Day: In Case You Care. I could take all the religious stuff out of my regular Thoughts from Life blog and create a separate blog for them. All the religious conversations would go into An Atheist’s Day, or whatever I decide to call it. I could see many of my religious thoughts being a hindrance to finding an audience for Thoughts from Life. Instead of just getting rid of it, I would put it where an atheist audience could appreciate it. The Thoughts from Life blog should probably remain unfiltered, though. I’ll have to think about it.

Today was going along swimmingly. I was busy, but that’s okay. I can handle busy. On a restroom break, I was zipping up my pants and the two teeth of the pants separated. I was in a single restroom, so I didn’t have to walk in front of people yet. Because this has happened to me before, I knew that connecting the two zipper teeth back together was impossible. I put my belt down low and it temporarily held my fly semi closed. I went and got loaner pants at costuming. This made me even more behind than I already was. The only real problem I ran into was sweating and not having time to wipe my brow. It’s extremely hot outside so I made sure I drank plenty of water. With my recent kidney stone scare, I don’t take any chances.
Eventually, I was back on track and able to wipe my sweat. The rest of my day is bound to be better. Whenever I have something go wrong, I find my day gets much better. I have a humorous story to tell and the ability to further explain what a goofball I am. I live to entertain. My embarrassment has been replaced with material for the one man show that is my life. As it’s happening, I have about the same level of annoyance as I’ve had, but my dealing with it is different. Letting things out is so much better than holding them in. I’m sharing it not only here but in the real world. My life is much less stressful and more enjoyable since I accepted my failures.
I came up with a plan for my websites. I have many of them. They are all at WordPress. I listened to a Laura Belgray book recently and looked at her site (yes, just one site). She had all the things she does under one site. I want to do that with my websites. This has crossed my mind before, but I know it’s going to be difficult so I haven’t done it. Without getting too nerdy about the details, I have to reconnect the sites without losing all the connections that exist in the world. In the end, I might have to create new connections and keep the old site information for older references to the sites. You don’t have to know what I’m talking about. Just know that it’s not interesting. Maybe it would be interesting if you were as nerdy as I am, but most non-nerds find nerdy conversations boring. I will write all future updates in a code only nerds can understand. If you understand what I’m saying in the future, you might be a nerd.
