• Meditation, Hypnosis, and Rock Stars – Thoughts from January 14 and 20, 2024

• 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…

• Thoughts from 1993

  

  As the title suggests, these are all my Thoughts papers from 1993. Yes, there are only two of them. There’s plenty of 22 to 23-year-old angst to go around, though.
