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…

Brian Explains Television – Thoughts from January 7, 2011
Brian Explains: Television The subject of my article this week is something near and dear to my heart. To this day, it is the friend who helps me wake me up in the morning and the companion that puts me to bed at night. It comforts me when I am sick and even helps me…

Brian Explains Planned Procrastination – Thoughts from November 26, 2010
Brian Explains: Planned Procrastination The main philosophy of planned procrastination is why do today what you can plan to do tomorrow? I believe I started the beginnings of this philosophy in high school, but it truly blossomed in College. I have a degree in English Composition that I am putting to great use by writing…

Brian Explains Screwing Up and Food – Thoughts from October 1, 2010
Future note: This is the third Brian Explains Life blog article I am including as part of the Thoughts from Life blog, but it should have been the first. I thought it was strange that the introduction to the blog was from 2010, but the articles were from 2011. To make up for this screw…

Three Girl Cats Named Slash, Blaze, and Quest – Thoughts about June 3, 2009
(Future note: The following was written around May 2010, but June 3, 2009, is more relevant to what I’m talking about. This is the day Slash, Blaze, and Quest were born. As I mentioned in another Thoughts paper, Quest is still with us, along with four newcomers. Who are these people that came to live…

My 2003 was the Worst – Thoughts from September 10 to November 5, 2003
September 10, 2003 Help … HELP! … HELP, God Damn it!!! (Future note: This is all I had to say on this day in big, bold letters and I meant it. It’s fairly obvious, but I will let you know these words pretty much sum up my 2003.) September 23, 2003 I CANNOT STAY AWAKE!!!…

Wires to Nowhere – Thoughts from September 2, 2003
Good morning and welcome to life in the doldrums. I can barely keep myself awake. I’m working at the Assessor’s office. Working here is so dull (how dull is it?), (it’s so dull) I’m using my “boredom sucks” protest signs to hold open my eyelids. Even that last sentence shows how bored and tired I…

Dad in the Hospital – Thoughts from April 16, 2003
I have no real idea how to start this Thoughts paper. Many things are going on right now in and out of my life. We were robbed last month and are trying to buy our first home. My dad went into the hospital last Friday (4/11/03). He is not doing well. We have moved most…

Thoughts from April 8 and June 19, 2002
April 8, 2002 This Thoughts paper should be much lighter in nature than my normal thoughts paper. This is mainly because I’m forcing myself to be lighter. Well, that didn’t last long. Actually, in my life right now there are several serious things going on. Luckily, only one serious thing is going on for me…

Thoughts from December 14, 1994
I’ve been in a downhill roly-poly spiral as of late. I need some help from above. Yes, I need to paint my ceiling. My theory is it collects dust because of the flaky material from which it is made. (Future note: I’m talking about a popcorn ceiling.) In the words of Bob who works at…
