• 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…

• 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…

• 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…

• Chinese Fast Food – Thoughts from September 19 to October 1, 2022

  

  September 19, 2022 We’re in Vegas for Patti’s birthday. The suite we’re in doesn’t have a remote to open the curtains this time. We were both very disappointed. How quickly we have become accustomed to the finer things. I’ve taken some good ground creature pictures. Hey Brian, what the hell are “ground creature” pictures? They…

• Vegas Hotel – Thoughts from September 14 and 15, 2022

  

  September 14, 2022 Patti is in the middle of trying to watch TV with no power. It’s 10:40 pm, and the power has been out since about 9:00 pm. This is a planned outage, so it hopefully won’t be out until the estimated 5:00 AM time. I showed Patti how to tether her phone with…

• Anxious Nerd – Thoughts from August 28 to September 8, 2022

  

  August 28, 2022 I think I used to be more of a nerd, but now I’m just a recovering nerd. Reading back on my Thoughts papers tells me how much of a nerd I was. I talked about working on computers and other nerdy technical issues I was dealing with. Today, my nerdiest issues are…

• Staring at Your Phone – Thoughts from August 23 and 25, 2022

  

  August 23, 2022 I just saw a large gentleman wearing black shorts with white socks that went all the way up his legs until they disappeared into his shorts. What is the use of wearing shorts if you’re going to cover up your legs with socks. Besides the fact that it looks completely ridiculous, it…
