Drugs and Fairies in a Capitalist Society – Thoughts from April 19 and 23, 2023

April 19, 2023 I just heard on the radio someone referencing 4/20 tomorrow. It’s a pot head holiday. I think it’s the same station that plays Bob Marley at 4:20 in the afternoon. They made a joke about hot boxing a taxi. I understand these references, but don’t find them funny. Marijuana has never been…

Accidents, Foxes, and Awards – Thoughts from April 15 and 16, 2023

April 15, 2023 There are often stories about celebrities getting into snow skiing, rock climbing, scuba diving, or some other accidents. The celebrities are called out for bravely surviving the accidents. I roll my eyes at all these stories. If they are doing an activity that is dangerous, we should treat them like the statistic…

Disposable Wipes and Freeway Rants – Thoughts from April 12, 2023

I haven’t talked about my toilet habits in a while, so let’s do that. At home, I’ve been using disposable wipes. I use two disposable wipes and much less toilet paper. In this way, I’m single handedly saving the environment. Okay, enough with the jokes. They simply get me cleaner sooner than toilet paper alone.…

Easter and My Weird Resting Face – Thoughts from April 9, 2023

Easter is rearing its ugly head today. I keep meaning to look up what it means to Christians so I can make fun of it. Right now is as good a time as any, so I’ll do that right now and get back to you. I’m back. Did you miss me? It is when they…

Falling for April Fools and Multitasking – Thoughts from April 1 and 3, 2023

April 1, 2023 It’s April Fools’ Day! Believe nothing I say today unless it sounds too boring to be a joke. I hooked up my dash-cam to look out at the traffic and inside my car. I like everything about it except how fat it makes me look. It’s capturing the video of me accurately…

Metaphors, Movies, and Dash-Cams – Thoughts from March 27 and 29, 2023

March 27, 2023 What can I say? My life is going swimmingly as long as that phrase means you are swimming in a giant ocean without land in sight. I’m not exactly drowning yet, but I would like to find a land I can call home someday. Treading water is good for your core, though.…

Zipper Malfunction – Thoughts from March 25, 2023

Something happened today that will only be entertaining with time. I was in the restroom at work and I zipped up my pants to find that only one side of the teeth was still connected to the zipper. Trying to connect the zipper back to the other teeth while I was standing at the urinal…

Sitcom Decisions and Nostalgic Nerds – Thoughts from March 18 and 22, 2023

March 18, 2023 I was thinking today about making sitcom decisions. Sitcom decisions mainly use lies to avoid making actual decisions. Lying to your spouse about doing something you forgot to do is a sitcom decision. Characters make decisions in sitcoms purely for comedic purposes. Sitcoms have taught us dangerous and absurd life lessons that…

Automatic Paper Towel Dispensers and Speaking Cat – Thoughts from March 5 and 8, 2023

March 5, 2023 I’ve been listening to a book called Animals in Translation by Temple Grandin. She is autistic and has a similar connection to animals that I have. I speak fluent cat and could learn to speak other animal languages. The languages of other animals are mostly non-verbal. Many people have a problem with…

Marching Forth with Thoughts – Thoughts from March 4, 2023

As I’m reminded every year on this day, march forth is the only day that is a phrase. Beyond that, it’s just another day that will live in obscurity. I’m going to treat this day like I treat every day – like the first day of the rest of my life. Speaking of days (they…
