• Being Tired, Poop Schedules, and Genuine Friendships – Thoughts from June 4 and 8, 2024

  

  June 4, 2024 This is one of those entries that most people wouldn’t start. If you have nothing to write about, why would you start writing? I’m at the point that many people would call writer’s block. That doesn’t stop me. It just means you have nothing structured to write about, but there’s always a…

• Jamaica, Here We Come – Thoughts from June 11 and 12, 2023

  

  June 11, 2023 Here we sit in the LAX airport. It’s about 9:30 pm and our flight is at about 11:30 pm. Who is this “we” you speak of? This might be your question if this is your first ever Thoughts paper you’ve read from this Brian guy. Brian is one of the we and…

• Marching Forth with Thoughts – Thoughts from March 4, 2023

  

  As I’m reminded every year on this day, march forth is the only day that is a phrase. Beyond that, it’s just another day that will live in obscurity. I’m going to treat this day like I treat every day – like the first day of the rest of my life. Speaking of days (they…

• Followed by Cats – Thoughts from January 8 to 14, 2023

  

  January 8, 2023 Most things are ending at my work today. There are parades, shows, and events that are having their last performances for the season. Tomorrow will differ from today. We’re back to mainly having only the cranky old timers here. I got to know many new people and they will only rarely be…

• Wrist Rest Under the Keyboard – Thoughts from December 11 to 19, 2022

  

  December 11, 2022 I started writing a skit in my head as I was waking up the other day. The basic premise of it was a guy brought a kid to Bring Your Child to Work Day and his coworker questions whether it is his child. As the dialogue continued in my head, it got…

• Celebrities – Thoughts from August 21, 2022

  

  I was reading some of my old Thoughts papers in which I referred to people asking for money as “bums” and asserted that most of them were alcoholics and drug addicts. In the same sentences, I would say I’m a Liberal about most things. I now know that people don’t choose to be without a…

• Rockstar Dreams – Thoughts from May 7 and 8, 2022

  

  May 7, 2022 May the seventh be today. I cleared out my office yesterday enough to get easily to my guitar. I still haven’t played it, but I can as soon as I add a new high string and tune it. It’s been a while, so I’ll have to remind myself how to do it.…
