White Lineage, Personal Planners, and Shoe Racks – Thoughts from July 21, 2024
Yesterday, I was coming into work, and I saw a personalized license plate on a white Ford truck in front of me. I stared at it and figured out the weird combination of letters. It could only be one thing. I couldn’t think of anything else it could be. The license was as close to…

Experiencing Things not Made for Me, Including Silence – Thoughts from December 3 and 6, 2023
December 3, 2023 English is my first language. I don’t really have a second language, unless you count Nerd as a language. Sometimes, I wish I spoke another language well enough to have conversations, but not enough to put in the time to actually do it. I have delved deeply into English enough to keep…

Singing My Songs – Thoughts from April 3 and 10, 2022
April 3, 2022 I’m listening to an autobiography by Phil Collins read by him. He has had a life in entertainment since he was a young boy. His transition from a drummer and backup singer to the main singer in Genesis made me want to listen to my songs. Sometimes I listen to myself and…

Mom’s Final Days – Thoughts from November 20, 2013
(Future note: This was written about my mom’s final days. Her last day alive was on November 20, 2013, so that is the date of this Thoughts paper.

Brian Explains Boredom and Change – Thoughts from October 15 and 22
October 15, 2010 Brian Explains: Boredom Some people have a hard time being alone. I am not one of those people. I can be alone for hours and I always find something to do. The hardest part for me is deciding what to do. I guess this makes this an anti-explanation of boredom, but I…

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…

Brian Explains Life and Time – Thoughts from September 14, 2010 and January 14, 2011
September 14, 2010 (Future note: The following Thoughts papers are not actually Thoughts papers. They are articles I included in my blog Brian Explains Life. I explain many things in these articles, but this Blog Intro describes them best.) Brian Explains Life: Blog Intro All right, you are here. I don’t know where you came…

Drunk and Missing the Cat Sister – Thoughts from May 16, 2008
Know that I’m drunk right now, so what I say is from the mind of a drunken person. Have I mentioned that I’m drunk right now? I’m working at Disney these days. I’m a lead. On Friday and Saturday, I’m the lead most of the time. We have several people who started with me as…

Valentine’s Day – Thoughts from February 17, 2004
I have a thought. Well, that’s good, Brian, because this is the place for such things, being as this is the Thoughts 2/17/04 paper. Let’s go! Okay! Oh yeah, this is 2004. This is my first Thoughts paper for 2004. This is not to be confused with my first thought of 2004. 2003, I hardly…

A Live Studio Audience – Thoughts from October 7, 2002
(Future note: It always seems weird to start a Thoughts paper with a future note, but this requires it because it’s not actually a Thoughts paper. This is an email I wrote to a friend of mine who I hadn’t seen in years. It was the last known email address I had for him, so…
