• Dessert for Breakfast and Restroom Restrictions, Thoughts from June 18 and 25, 2024

  

  June 18, 2024 I must go back to four days ago. It was June 14, and we ate at Super Sushi in Redlands. We took the leftovers home. Patti also bought two pounds of tiramisu while we were out before we went for sushi. I had some later that night, but Patti had some the…

• Drugs and Fairies in a Capitalist Society – Thoughts from April 19 and 23, 2023

  

  April 19, 2023 I just heard on the radio someone referencing 4/20 tomorrow. It’s a pot head holiday. I think it’s the same station that plays Bob Marley at 4:20 in the afternoon. They made a joke about hot boxing a taxi. I understand these references, but don’t find them funny. Marijuana has never been…

• 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…

• Breaking Plastic Mirrors – Thoughts from May 22 and 25, 2022

  

  May 22, 2022 Someone asked about the term “reality denier” that I use for people who deny basic realities and behave badly because of it. I use it mainly to call out people’s behavior instead of swearing at them and getting angry. It’s not a perfect term so I usually only use it when I’m…

• I’m a Bit Much – Thoughts from February 19 and 20, 2022

  

  February 19, 2022 I’m sitting in a van and the mileage on it is 77077. Excited doesn’t even state how much that delights me. Patti and I went to a casino yesterday, and I walked out $60 richer. This is about equal to that. I just began my workday about two hours ago and it’s…
