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…

Pooping on the Super Bowl – Thoughts from February 12 and 13, 2022

February 12, 2022 Well, it’s been a while since I wrote about my thoughts from life. I have been listening to my old Thoughts papers starting as early as 1991. What the hell! To say it’s weird does not encompass how weird I’ve been throughout my life. So many ups and sooooooooo many downs. It’s…

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…

Personal Digital Assistant – Thoughts from October 17 to 31, 2002

(Future note: I wrote all the following entries on my PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). I explained PDAs three Thoughts papers back, so look there if you’re confused. Again, I am leaving the entries as they were originally formatted to distinguish them from regular entries. I write most of my entries on my phone here in…

Thoughts from August 2, 2001

(Future note: Before you read this, know this was written when I was extremely anti-religious. I’m still anti-religious, but this was written when I was hateful toward religion and religious people. I use the word “hate” very little today unless I’m referring to someone else’s hate. Most of these thoughts still exist in my brain…

November 3, 1992 – Journal Assignment 1

This journal entry comes from a Psychology 115 class I had in college. I mixed it in with my Thoughts papers because it represents my only written thoughts from 1992. Each week, we were asked to write about specific aspects of our lives. For that reason, this is probably my most organized series of thoughts.…

August 22, 1997 – Thoughts from Life 2

First, let me make something perfectly clear (to steal a phrase from a man who stole the innocence out from under America). This is not a sequel to Thoughts from Life. It is merely a continuance of my thoughts as the title suggests (Okay, the title out-and-out states it). I’m not saying that all sequels…
