Brian Explains Freaks – Thoughts from January 27, 2011
Brian Explains: Freaks Freaks are all around us. It is easy to say that someone is a freak if they have a third leg or tree bark skin. I saw the movie “Freaks” (from 1932) years ago and was fascinated. I wasn’t fascinated because of the sideshow performers in the movie, but more that the…

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…

Working with Anxiety – Thoughts from October 19, 2004
Well, it’s been a while, but I’m back. Back in time, back to the Assessor’s office, and back to being clueless about what I’m doing with my life. Back to being scheduled every minute of the day, and back to that anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach for much of the day. Most…

I’m Working on It – Thoughts from May 11 and 19, 2004
May 11, 2004 We had my mom over for Mother’s Day on, strangely enough, Mother’s Day this weekend. Our newly finished kitchen can be used to make shrimp, etc. We also had a Mother’s Day celebration at Patti’s mom’s house. I nerded it up with “the boys” most of the time. We were looking at…

Longing to Create Something in the World – Thoughts from April 12, 2004
Far from being happy about life, I sit. This sentiment has worn me down to a fine point. I hate the world and want it to bleed. I want to bleed. It’s only in typing these words that I realize I have not expressed the last sentence except to myself. Don’t worry. You can kill…
