August 29, 1997 – Thoughts from Life 4

I’d have the world in the palm of my hand right now if it weren’t so wet. I don’t like wet hands. I never did. Many people have strange neurotic conditions and quirks. I don’t know why anyone would ever consider themselves normal or would want to be normal if it existed. My quirks made…

August 25, 1997 – Thoughts from Life 3

Traveling down the road of life, I see a computer sitting on the side of the road. It’s shiny, new, and smells of megabytes. I pick it up and press one key. On the screen appears a single word. I stare at the word a moment and keep walking, leaving the computer on the side…

August 20, 1997 – Thoughts from Life 1

I’m not complaining, but I have troublesome hair. I have thick, curly hair. This is fine if you want to be the Greatest American Hero (insert actor’s name here), but not if you want the hair you can run your fingers through. I can, theoretically, run my fingers through my hair, but, the moment I’m…

Introduction

Thoughts from Life was originally a series I wrote when I was working in an office with little to do. I’ve never been one to sit around and do nothing, so I worked on creative writing projects. It was 1997 and I believe I brought the writings in on a 3.5 inch floppy disk. If…
