• Out on a Live Stage – Thoughts from August 10 and 14, 2022

  

  August 10, 2022 I’m almost glad that the nervousness of performing live was too much for me. If I could do it easily, I would not be as happy and healthy as I am. I don’t like watching live performances so I don’t know why I thought I would ever want to perform live. Whether…

  August 7, 2022 Today’s Thoughts paper is brought to you by sleep. I’m looking forward to getting some tonight. I’ve dropped a lot of things today. Being tired will do that to you. I’m too tired to have many thoughts. I promise to have more tomorrow. August 8, 2022 I was going to work today…

• Men’s Restrooms – Thoughts from August 2 and 3, 2022

  

  August 2, 2022 As I was driving to work today, I saw a truck with a bumper sticker that said, “Dirty Hands Clean Money.” For the longest time, I could only read the first three words. I did not know what the last word could be. The one thing I thought of was “Heart.” I…

• X Chromosome – Thoughts from July 30 and August 1, 2022

  

  July 30, 2022 The past few days have been weird, but not in a good way. I had to sit still on a freeway for hours and eventually get off the freeway by driving the wrong way. I gained 3.7 pounds in one day (not my personal record, but close). The day before, I got…

• Test Results – Thoughts from July 26 and 28, 2022

  

  July 26, 2022 I really should save this thought until tomorrow, but I had it today so screw you, Tomorrow. It involves the number 27. I think we should declare the age 27 as the early change of life. I got married when I was 27 so that was a definite change for me. Many…

• Fictional Stories of Belief – Thoughts from July 25, 2022

  

  I had a thought as I was driving to work, and I sent myself a note about it. I will now expound upon it in the storage locker of my thoughts. It continues my previous musing about telling your story. Your beliefs are not part of your story so you should not include them when…

• Sugar Makes Me Fat – Thoughts from July 23, 2022

  

  Today I feel fat. I’ve felt fat because my scale said I was fat. My stomach feels like someone attached a sandbag to the inside of my skin. All of this fat shaming is to say that I need to change my routine on my days off. I’ve said this before and here I am…
