Personal Digital Assistant – Thoughts from October 17 to 31, 2002

(Future note: I wrote all the following entries on my PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). I explained PDAs three Thoughts papers back, so look there if you’re confused. Again, I am leaving the entries as they were originally formatted to distinguish them from regular entries. I write most of my entries on my phone here in…

A Live Studio Audience – Thoughts from October 7, 2002

(Future note: It always seems weird to start a Thoughts paper with a future note, but this requires it because it’s not actually a Thoughts paper. This is an email I wrote to a friend of mine who I hadn’t seen in years. It was the last known email address I had for him, so…

Hating my Job – Thoughts from October 1, 2002

I begin again again. Yes, Mr. Grammar Checker, I meant to repeat the again again. I did it again. The question is, what did I begin again? I began the pursuit of the dream. I started several semesters ago attending The Animation Academy, pursuing the animation dream. Now, I’m going to get a job (on…

Thoughts from July 6 and 10, 2002

07-06-02 I love my new PDA. It’s great! I’m done being stupid now. This entry is over. (Future note: This was my first thought written on my new PDA. For those of you who are old enough to know what “PDA” I’m referring to, you may have chuckled at this short entry. Even if you…

Thoughts from July 1, 2002

Tomorrow it’s birthday number 32. I know, what the hell do you care. No one else seems to care. Some of them act like they care, but they don’t. It’s not in their job descriptions. Why should they care? Patti always pumps me up for my birthday gifts. It’s not that I don’t enjoy my…

Thoughts from February 4 and 27, 2002

February 4, 2002 Well, I have seen John Lasseter in person now. I know how excited my regular reader is about this. (Future note: Patti and I were at Disneyland and we were walking by the Matterhorn. John Lasseter walked by us with a host and his kids. I told Patti that John Lasseter just…

Thoughts from January 8 and 11, 2002

January 8, 2002 Well, I start my new class, Visual Development, this Thursday. This schedule should be easier than the last one on Monday nights. I have every other Friday off and I don’t have to get to work as early on the Fridays I work. We also recently got Annual Passes to Disneyland and…

Thoughts from September 21 and October 4, 2001

September 21, 2001 Today, I feel alone and pathetic. Every Friday at work, two co-workers go to Denny’s and mainly get Grand Slams. Most weeks, I’ve already had breakfast. This Friday, I specifically didn’t eat breakfast so I could take part in the Grand Slam festivities. An hour after everyone else had eaten, I got…

Thoughts from September 13, 2001 about 9/11

Well, in my last Thoughts paper, I said the next paper I would write would be my normal weird stupidness. (My spell checker is claiming that “stupidness” is not a word – it did it again – is that possible? I think that’s stupid that stupidness is not a word if it is actually not…
