• Grocery Scanner – Thoughts from December 3 and 4, 2022

  

  December 3, 2022 Patti came in with me to work today so she could go into the park. We stopped by a local Walmarket on the way in. As spell check reminds me, Walmarket is not its real name, but that’s what we call it. I needed blueberries and hair gel. The hair gel was…

• Behind the Scenes – Thoughts from November 28 and 30, 2022

  

  November 28, 2022 Everything about American football pisses me off. I’m definitely not a fan of any sport, but only football can send me into a rage whenever I hear about or see it. This time of year, there are commercials on the radio and TV. I have to switch away from them if I…

• Thanksgiving – Thoughts from November 21 and 27, 2022

  

  November 21, 2022 I’m listening to Jenny Lawson’s book Broken and have listened to others by her. Like me, she has anxiety issues and thinks weird thoughts. I’m enjoying it. It turns out I enjoy hearing other people’s weird thoughts as much as writing my own. I like people I can relate to. I can’t…

• Beatniks – Thoughts from November 19 and 20, 2022

  

  November 19, 2022 I started publishing my Thoughts from Life papers on November 1st. Originally, I was going to publish them once a week, but decided to bump it up to two times on Tuesday and Thursday. I, of course, got the domain name for thoughtsfromlife.com first. It’s what I do. I scheduled them into…

• No Memory for Names – Thoughts from November 15 and 16, 2022

  

  November 15, 2022 I was listening to an episode of Sarah Silverman’s podcast with Patti and someone left a voicemail asking about a message she got from her child’s school nurse. The message informed her that her child’s weight was a health concern. The mom was super offended by the message and wanted to know…

• Spandex Underwear – Thoughts from November 6 and 14, 2022

  

  November 6, 2022 I feel like most of the world caters to people who are not like me. I’m not religious, don’t like restaurants or fast food, care about other people, don’t believe in anything, don’t like live events, and don’t think simply about anything. On the outside, I’m of average height, weight, and looks…

• Cranky Old Men – Thoughts from October 25 and November 1, 2022

  

  October 25, 2022 I noticed coming into work today a cranky old man driving an old car who was mouthing angry words to an RV who was cutting him off. This was ironic when you consider most RVs are driven by cranky old men. I never saw the driver of the RV so I can’t…

• Raining Weirdness – Thoughts from October 17 – 23, 2022

  

  October 17, 2022 They rejected my submission about my mom’s last days. It was a bit atheistic so I’ll try my traumas from childhood paper. If they don’t like that, maybe they just don’t like my style. In the time between starting this paragraph and now, I submitted the grade school traumas with a new…

• Women and Men Walking – Thoughts from October 16, 2022

  

  I was driving into work on the freeway and I saw a large white truck with a flag sticking up in the back of it. From a history of seeing flags sticking up in the back of trucks, I know they write nothing pleasant or encouraging on the flags. Sure enough, they inscribed the words…

• Restroom Man – Thoughts from October 2 and 15, 2022

  

  October 2, 2022 I’m done stressing about my life. I’m going to be making fun of other people now. Who I’m going to be making fun of, I don’t know yet. It will be people who deserve it. I could make fun of the rich for being so focused on money they neglect everything else…
