Thoughts from July 31, 1994
In the name of all that is exciting and new, I procured myself a bike. I can’t really say what this means yet (if anything) as I’ve only had the thing for a day now. Hopefully, it will give me a better chance at getting some exercise. I realize I’m going to have to work…

Thoughts from 1993
As the title suggests, these are all my Thoughts papers from 1993. Yes, there are only two of them. There’s plenty of 22 to 23-year-old angst to go around, though. February 27, 1993 Hello and welcome back to the show that gives the most and takes the least. I’m becoming a better comedian in private…

December 1, 1992 – Journal Assignment 2
This journal entry comes from a Psychology 115 class I had in college. I mixed it in with my Thoughts papers because it represents my only thoughts from 1992. Each week, we were asked to write about specific aspects of our lives. For that reason, this is probably my most organized series of thoughts. I…

This journal entry comes from a Psychology 115 class I had in college. I mixed it in with my Thoughts papers because it represents my only written thoughts from 1992.

Thoughts from 1991
1991 was the earliest entries in which I wrote my thoughts about my life. I believe I just thought of them as diary entries. I was in my first two years of college and was still trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. There are only two entries for the…

September 12, 1997 – Thoughts from Life 9 (final thoughts?)
Unless you were out of the room when you read the title of this paper (which I do, myself, more times than I care to talk about), you gather that this is the last Thoughts from Life I will do (at least, in this format/environment). Being the end, I will use this first paragraph to…

September 10, 1997 – Thoughts from Life 8
When I started this paper, I recorded over the last one. I usually have a copy in two different places, but, of course, the time I don’t, this happens. I am not saying I go around expecting bad things to happen. I don’t hate life before it kicks me in the rear. I like to…

September 9, 1997 – Thoughts from Life 7
The American dream is a pretty simple concept. You get a job that affords you to buy a house and have a family. It’s a formula that has worked for millions of people. It worked for my parents and their parents and their grandparents (and I could go on … I’m serious … if you…

September 3, 1997 – Thoughts from Life 6
Kings and queens ruling their royal subjects are the substance of fairy tales. Fairy tales are where they need to stay. I don’t want to turn on my television news and hear about a princess who died because, as far as I’m concerned, they are all dead. The days of having royal weddings and other…

September 2, 1997 – Thoughts from Life 5
Simple doesn’t exist in anything if you examine it long enough, but complex doesn’t have to exist with everything (Logic police alert! Drop the bad sentence and step away from the building!). If you take everything generally and don’t get caught up in too many specifics, life can be more than just bearable. It can…
