• Explosive Birthday Aftermath – Thoughts from July 2 and 4, 2023

  

  July 2, 2023 As birthdays go, this is one of the most recent ones. That’s right, I’m the big five three today. Because I exhausted all my vacation time in Jamaica, I couldn’t take today off. I’m at work, but it’s not so bad. My place of work is where people come on their vacations.…

• 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.…

• Dad’s Backyard Used Car Lot – Thoughts from February 1 and 3, 2023

  

  February 1, 2023 We’re already one month into 2023 and I haven’t mistakenly written 2022 once. I don’t know if that’s even a thing anymore. People used to write checks and other things that required writing out the date, but we hardly have to write anything down these days, let alone the date. I would…

• Fighting Brothers – Thoughts from August 15 and 16, 2022

  

  August 15, 2022 Yesterday, I kept getting interrupted by work. I only had one thought. Actually, I had many thoughts, but I only had time to write one of them. Today is a whole new story. I should be able to think my brains out and write most of them. I have plenty of sit…

• December 1, 1992 – Journal Assignment 2

  

  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 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. I…
