Before It Was X

It’s rough on a mind to be the example of peace. People are so confused, and confusing. Everyone wants peace, but a few of them think they have to fight you to get it.

If I was interviewing an accountant, I would ask to see their credit card balance, and if it was anything other than zero, I’d say, “You’re an idiot, get out of here.”

Think I’ll try writing a novel. Think I’ll start it like this: There was a magnificent wedding. Unfortunately, there was a tornado. Fortunately, it was a money tornado.

I will endorse what I’ve been doing lately. It’s called “Outside” and it is amazing.

I think it’s hilarious that the word “wrong” is spelled with a W.

Monday Wifey: Do these leftovers smell good to you?Tuesday Me: I think I could wear this shirt again. Wifey: Ugh! Don’t smell that!

Pride is the peak of virtue signaling. Pride is why people don’t apologize. Pride is the reason people don’t give to the needy. Pride is boasting of excellence instead of showing it with beneficial actions.

Maybe I’m from another planet or something, but I could hear amazing stories about Chadwick Boseman for the rest of the year and nothing more about Trump. (31 August 2020)

Sorry, all the opinions have run together. What was yours again?

Kim Jong Un is in a coma? Just 2 months ago he was dead. N. Korea is a rookie at the fake news game.

Love the phrase: He died doing what he loved. Oh, really? He loved falling head-first off a cliff onto sharp rocks below? Such a weird hobby.

When I was a kid, if we were digging, we would say we were digging to Australia. Do kids in Australia say they’re digging to America?

I remembered someone’s name 3 days after I saw them. Said it out loud—for effect.

Not once have I found appetizing any Mexican food with “Del” or “Bell” or “Toro” or “Perro” in the brand name.

I saw a little Chevy driving ahead of me yesterday and I saw the model name SPANK. “SPANK?! What a weird name for a car.” Got a bit closer…SPARK.

I asked my cat, “Don’t you ever shave your face?” No wonder he doesn’t have a job.

This is where I'm supposed to brag about how I've written seven novels, twelve screenplays, thousands of short stories, four self-help books, and one children's early-reader, but I'd rather stay humble. You can find out about things I've written or follow my barchive (web archive, aka 'blog) at xenosthesia.com or follow me on twitter @kurt_gailey. I love sports and music and books, so if you're an athlete or in a band or you're a writer, give me a follow and I'll most likely follow you back. I've even been known to promote other people's projects.
