Brian Explains New Year’s Resolutions – Thoughts from December 31, 2010
Brian Explains: New Year’s Resolutions New Year’s resolutions come just once a year, but they can be broken all year long. New Year’s resolutions were never something I did.

Brian Explains Hoarding – Thoughts from December 10, 2010
Brian Explains: Hoarding If you haven’t seen any of the shows about hoarding, you owe it to yourself to watch one.

Brian Explains Being Macho – Thoughts from November 12, 2010
Brian Explains: Being Macho Soap operas are the down-fall of women. I’m not saying that men don’t watch them, but most men find the melodramatic events in soap operas a tad too emotional to take. This is not a description of this man. I cry all the time. Gossip is one of my favorite hobbies,…

Brian Explains Fear and Complaining – Thoughts from October 29 and November 5, 2010
October 29, 2010 Brian Explains: Fear Fears, fears, I just can’t get enough fears. I also can’t decide which fear I like best. It is as if I am choosing an accessory for my personality. Which color goes best with self doubt? This Halloween time, I thought I would examine fears. When you talk about…

Waiting for Disney – Thoughts from January 6 and March 23, 2010
Future note: The following entry was from an “incident” that happened in November 2009. It was nighttime. A plumber was walking backstage, and I was driving to pick up some people. When I got close to him, I could see him slowing down and looking at me. As I passed him, he screamed, “Five miles…
