“My words fly up, my thoughts remain below; words without thoughts never to heaven go.”


Weird crap floating around in my brain:
Incredibly painful throbbing in my left foot woke me up at 4am this morning [after not falling asleep til 1] and all I could think of was Daniel Day Lewis.


The theme to Gilligan’s Island


I couldn’t find my jacket this morning as I was about to leave for work. I wandered around the apartment for a few minutes before discovering it hanging on the back of the bedroom door. That old chesnut “If it was a snake it would have bit me…” came to mind. And it struck me as a really f’d up expression—I mean I’d like to think I’d have noticed a snake hanging around the place right off the bat….

A 7th grade book report on mirrors—I wrote it upside down and backwards.

A song by Rancid played on the radio as I was driving in to work and it got me thinking about words that sound like what they mean… like “phlegm,” “succulent,” “vomit” [it sort of explodes out of your mouth], “ping pong,” “angular,”

Several quotes from Seinfeld—God they come in handy in almost ANY life situation.

That during my lifetime, our country has been run by a haberdasher, a retired general, a decorated war vet/celebrated author, a Texas teacher, a lawyer, a college football star, a peanut farmer, a B actor, former director of the CIA, a saxophone player, an idiot and a guy with the middle name of Hussein.

Do two gay brothers make a sister?

Why is it cold weather makes your nose run—shouldn’t it freeze that stuff up and the HOT weather make it run?

How I wish I really could laugh my ass off….

Questions from the Baltimore Catechism: Who made me? God made me. Why did God make me?

Boy I wish I could defrag my brain like I do my computer.

  1. I like the paragraph which enumerates the leaders of your country. It looks like you're not very pleased with them; you're probably right about that.

  2. DUTA--i just find it fascinating that anyone really can become president here. I liked Clinton alot. The whole Monica lewinsky thing was sad, but she went after him with a vengence. And I admire Obama alot--he is trying his damnedest to fix the shitstorm handed to him by the aforementioned idiot.

  5. You know this got me to thinking about random thoughts over the course of a day. I wonder if anyone has ever kept track of that? I'd like to defrag my brain sometimes. You know what has seeped into my consciousness...the 'Potty Dance'. i would willfully strangle the person who came up with that.

  6. I quote Seinfeld at least 20 times a day! I love when people "get" the reference!
