Restroom Habits – Thoughts from March 6, 2022
I have to write immediately because it just happened. Two things I question in the men’s restroom habits just happened one after the other. Someone came into the restroom and washed his hands. When he was done, he walked over to the urinal. This is just the first thing I have questioned in the past.…

Competition Man – Thoughts from March 5, 2022
There’s something I’ve noticed recently. I’ve noticed it before, but I’ve seen several great examples of this recently. People of color, on the whole, are nicer and more pleasant than white people. Women and gay men are more pleasant than straight men, but I’ve noticed that for years. Why is it the most privileged among…

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…

Anxious Cat and Cat Dad – Thoughts from February 15 and 16, 2022
February 15, 2022 I didn’t write yesterday because I was spending time with Patti on Valentine’s Day. We went out to breakfast even though it was after 2:00 in the afternoon. Patti and I are not early risers unless we have to be. I cheated on the vegan thing with butter and eggs, but not…

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. Despite the sad subject, there were amusing and surreal happenings going on.) My mom had multiple sclerosis for many years. Near the end of her life, she…

Missing a Cat Named Slash – Thoughts from November 16, 2011
(Future note: The following are the words I wrote for the Three Girl Cats blog I started for Slash, Blaze, and Quest. They were born on June 3rd, 2009, and she died November 15, 2011. It was the final entry for the blog and my final words about Slash.) Unfortunately, this is the last posting…

Brian Explains Hoarding – Thoughts from December 10, 2010
Brian Explains: Hoarding If you haven’t seen any of the shows about hoarding, you owe it to yourself to watch one. The basic premise of every show is that the person who the show is about cannot let go of things. “Things” include both physical and emotional things. It is the emotional baggage that compels…

Brian Explains OCD – Thoughts from December 3, 2010
Brian Explains: OCD Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is defined by Merriam-Webster as a “psychoneurotic disorder in which the patient is beset with obsessions or compulsions or both and suffers extreme anxiety or depression through failure to think the obsessive thoughts or perform the compelling acts.” I don’t mean to brag, but I have several forms of…

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…

Waiting for Disney – Thoughts from January 6 and March 23, 2010
Future note: The following entry was from an “incident” that happened in November 2009. It was nighttime. A plumber was walking backstage, and I was driving to pick up some people. When I got close to him, I could see him slowing down and looking at me. As I passed him, he screamed, “Five miles…
