This document provides a collection of short passages on various random topics. Each passage is only a few sentences and stands alone without connecting to the other passages. Some passages provide humorous observations or hypothetical situations, while others convey more thoughtful reflections on life. The document introduces the format as randomly conceived thoughts intended to produce some laughs, furrowed brows, or inspiration from the reader.
3. This booklet is a collection of
randomly conceived, shamelessly odd
thoughts, experiences, and ideas expressed
through abbreviated concepts.
Each page stands alone. There is no
overarching narrative, just the story youâve
flipped to.
Many might not make sense.
Some will hit the mark.
Find some laughs, some furrowed
eyebrows, and some inspiration.

Non Sequitur Similes (Part 1):
-Like seeing James Bond sneeze.
-As tacky as reading a novel Based on
the Major Motion Picture.
-An inexplicable guilt, like flicking on
the light switch and causing the bulb
to blow out.
-Painkillers settle in as pleasantly and
subtly as a carâs seat warmer.
-Like throwing a surprise party for
grandmaâs 100th birthday.
-Neglected like a neighborhood
baseball field.

Some quick math:
1.) Circumference of the earth at the
equator = 24,901 miles
Odometer on your momâs beat-to-
shit minivan = 201,052 miles
Therefore, if mom didnât have to
schlep your ass to soccer practice, she
couldâve circled the globe 8 times.
2.) The number of rotations a table
fanâs blades circulate on a hot sum-
merâs night > the number of breaths
youâll take in your life.
3.) If youâve ever used an airplane
toilet, thatâs shit coming out of your
ass at 500 mph.

She wore a crimson sweater with

When you think that someone
youâre attracted to is listening to your
conversation with another person,
you may find yourself talking indi-
rectly to that crush through your oth-
erwise drab discussion. You change
your tone, your humor, even your
friendliness to appeal to the person
of interest, while the unassuming
conversational partner is the blissful
benefactor of your exuberance.
But then you turn to confront this
surely impressed, surely charmed
future love of your life only to find
that theyâre entirely unengaged and
uninterested in this whole dog and
pony show youâve just put on. Mean-
while, youâve made a new fake friend
who wonât leave your cheery ass
alone.

My cheap watch has lasted over the
years. Without sleep, without breaks,
without fail.
It was counting down the years, days,
hours up to the point that we met.
And itâs still ticking now that weâve
parted.
It has kept the time faithfully through
Mexico, Morocco, Europe, and Peru.
It has kept the time through all of
our time.
My cheap watchâs time has survived
everything, including the tenure of
our relationship.
And still it ticks.

A friendâs job provides health
insurance incentives for employees
that meet certain fitness goal criteria,
as measured by company-issued
FitbitsÂź.
This friend, whoâs infinitely lazy,
found ways to still receive the en-
ticing benefits without exercising.
At first he would run the FitbitÂź
through the dryer, which worked well
for a couple hoursâ worth of exercise.
But then he realized how pleased the
device was with his âactive lifestyleâ
when he wore it while masturbating.
âDude, I jacked off three miles
last night!â
FitbitÂź. Push yourself.
(And maybe pull too).

The humor of going through airport

You get to see what everyone looks

Thereâs an odd feeling you get

You should be somewhere else. You

Youâre home. And you kind of feel
like an intruder.

âWhy are we here?â man asked
of god.
God remained silent.
Silence was the conversation of
the why. It was where the answer
would always remain.
âWhatâs the point? Why live at
all?â man demanded of god,
frustrated with his silence.
Again god said nothing.
Man grew angry at god, and
started speaking for him. He waved
around his interpretation of what
godâs words surely must be. How
could god be silent when his greatest
creation, man, was so robust with
things to talk about?
âGod must be teeming with
things to say, yet only a fraction is
coming out of us!â man surmised.
29. â 27 â
(cont.)
He convinced others to agree
with him.
They stood by their beliefs
through hunger and torture and
death.
Eventually man grew old, wea-
ry. He had spent a lifetime working
hard, questioning god, seeing little
gains. Man had thought all the things
he could think, spoken all the things
he could say for his god.
And so, at the end of his life,
man withdrew, becoming increasing-
ly pensive.
And silent.
And finally, man became one
with the why.
And finally, man became one
with god.

She had already cheated on him

Humans will never invent a time
machine.
Why not? Because if humans were
ever able to invent a time machine,
theyâd have travelled back in time to
the now to prevent certain things, or
be tweaking certain things. And our
world, I would hope, wouldnât be as
fucked up as it is.
Theyâd have proven themselves as
time travelers to the public with their
clairvoyance, accurately predicting
events in what is our future, their
past. Theyâd have made their billions
off stock market predictions, Marty
McFly style, to fund their cause and
set forth change toward fixing things.
41. â 39 â
(cont.)
Theyâd have prevented global
catastrophe or nipped our current
problems in the bud.
Or maybe they have made a time
machine in the future and the
backwards time travelers just have
terrible social skills. Maybe theyâre
the prophets panhandling on the side
of the road, hopeless and dejected
that nobody will listen to them.

Phone conversation so dirty you

Has anyone ever said something that
just stuck with you, for no particular
reason? I strive to do that to people.
But the frustration sometimes lies in
hearing your own words parroted
back to you later down the road.
You want to slap the smug face that
botched your wisdom and the
ensuing anticipatory smirk that reads:
âIsnât that smart?â
I know itâs smart, fuckwad. I told it
to you.

âYou know what I mean?â (Part 1):
-Youâre home alone but you still close
the bathroom door.
-Some women turn into monsters on
their birthday.
-A dull fatigue. With stale âforgot

match a mushy brain.
-The irrational fear of some ghost
switching on the garbage disposal
when your hand is down there fishing
out a bottle cap.
-Still donât really know how cricket

Our opinions and demeanor are
quite flexible when in the realm of
circumstance.
You may believe we need to

The word âmodernâ is still used today
to mean contemporary, even though
it has so much baggage that
contradicts this definition:
Modern is a past era.
Modern is a past century.
Weâre even past postmodernism.
Where the fuck are we?
No wonder shitâs a mess.

Drafts Folder (68):
The unsent message series
Heartfelt e-mails written by a young
professional to his beloved cowork-
er, Christy, that he never sends but
instead saves to his drafts folder. The
writings are poetic and beautiful and
sad in their repressed longing.
Despite his strong love for her, he
never sends a single draft out of fear
of getting a visit with HR, or, even
worse, being denied.
When it is announced that she will
be moving on from the company for
other opportunities, our character is
devastated. When sheâs been gone for
a week, he canât take it anymore.
51. â 49 â
(cont.)
He starts sending her all the drafts,
one after the other. But before he can
even reach the third, he receives a
message back:
The message could not be sent
because one of the recipients was
rejected by the server. The reject-
ed e-mail address was âchristy@
eplix.com.auâ. Subject âI Love Youâ,

er: âSMTP.EPLIX.NETâ, Protocol:

He was a buttoned-down,
loose cannon.

How do you tell your significant
other that youâre the closest youâve
ever felt to being in love, but it still
doesnât feel like thatâŠthat gushy
movie bullshit?
The relationshipâs not knocking you
off your feetânever really has. But
itâs nice enough you guessâŠ
57. â 55 â
From the hunger, there were
moments where his gut would churn
and seem to collapse. He could hear
the chatter from the inner walls of
his stomach meeting each other, like
old friendsâbearing gifts of pins and
razors. The grumbling sounded like
untrimmed fingernails scraping the
bottom of a coffee cup for change.
And yet their hollow grinding was
satisfying if for
nothing more than a confirmation of
his starvation.

Non Sequitur Similes (Part 2):
-Like saying the word moist around
women.
-Like having to shit while taking a
shower.
-Purposefully relaxedâlike arriving

hour to spare.
-Like asking Stephen Hawking for
his autograph.
-Like calling in sick on 4/20.
-Like asking a CEO to submit his
hours.
64. â 62 â
I only became depressed

65. â 63 â
The walls were afraid of silence.
What would they want of me?
Theyâd want a dramatic exit. One
that would leave her awake with
dread and heartbreak until the sun
had lapped through to the dawn.
Should I abide by the wallsâ desires?
Giving them the satisfaction they had
been granted so many times before?
It was almost inevitable, really, that
they would soon get what they
wanted.
Walls have always wanted crumbling.
They let on slowly, but they always
get what they want.

When youâre at a party and you say
something weird, everyone politely

The big disconnects between texting
and talking:
1.) Sarcasm is incredibly difficult to
pick up on.
2.) If youâre in an epic text battle and
one of the parties decides to call the
other in the midst of it, the person
who answers will almost always
answer as if nothing happened...
âHello? Hey whatâs up?â
As if you didnât spend the past 20
minutes aggressively fingering your
screen.
74. â 72 â
In a public bathroom or elevator,
everyone may be wanting

But no one will.
75. â 73 â
The pause of heated inflection when

moment sheâll either put things to an

desire.

He was sick of his aging relatives

Living across the street from a
park, you see a lot of things. And by
far, dog owners are the most
entertaining. There are those who
walk their dogs, and those who are
walked by their dogs. The latter
will be on a run and literally stop
on a dime to let their dog sniff up
some other poochâs shit. Meanwhile,
theyâre just jogging in place, ignoring
the fact that theyâre the owner.
81. â 79 â
(cont.)
The worst are owners who donât
pick up after their dogs. Some are
amazingly talented at finding
something thatâs pressingly urgent
as soon as their dog starts to shit.
You can easily pick these people out
because theyâre the ones without any
pooper baggies attached to the leash.
And still there are others who
enjoy watching their dog shit and
blatantly walking away without even
pretending to have an excuse.
âGood boy.â

The rustling of sheets.

A sex-crazed artist ejaculates onto
a canvas as part of an ongoing art
project. To communicate his sex
addiction through art, he sets a rule
for the piece: each contributing
ejaculation has to come from a new
sexual encounter. When he gets
close to coming, he dismounts his
unassuming partner and runs across
the paint-splattered floor of his New
York studio to finish onto the crusty
canvas. His working title for the oth-
erwise colorless piece: Shooting a Blank
He meets a woman he really likes,
perhaps even loves. He knows he
wants the ejaculation she induces
him to be the finishing stroke on the
canvas. But he canât finish with herâ
he has a mental block.
91. â 89 â
(cont.)
So he masturbates onto the canvas
while thinking of her and decides to
call the work finished. He realizes
just how similar this act, this short-
cut, has been to most marriages. A
compromise to a dream. An abbre-
viated, truncated version of what
he had hoped his life and his work
would be. He decides then and there
to never marry, and the woman he
maybe, probably loves, leaves him
upon learning of his newfound sen-
timent.
He sells the work to a gallery in the
city for a nice price. Below the hang-
ing canvas, a sign reads:
Please do not touch
93. â 91 â
Itâs weird when you donât know your

As the movie credits rolled, they
started kissing.
He, overtly passionate and increas-
ingly breathyâincorporating more
tongue than she wouldâve preferred.
She, thinking almost audibly, surely
audiblyââI hate this, I hate this.â
How could it be, when two heads
shared such a close space, that
thoughts could not permeate
between them?
What would the world look like if
this were a possibility? She thought.
The lights came on. She pulled away.

Guilt:

105. â 103 â
âYou know what I mean?â (Part 2):
-Coming up with an idea that

-Walking into a crowded bar and
completely blanking on who youâre
looking for.
-The cigarette always smells different
when youâre the one behind it.
-Finding yourself holding your
breath while walking down the
medicine aisle during the peak of flu
season.
-Using more emojis when you feel
guilty.

Our calendarâs culture is incredi-

emotions of the earth over the

Globs of sleep mucus viscously
running down his brain like slow-
dripped coffee. A gradual osmosis
from sleep to wake, tickling his
dream/reality threshold.
When he awoke it was always the
first thing to come to mind.
âOh yeah, fuck. The accident.â
He wanted to hide in those first few
milliseconds that separated sleep
from wake. The time that wasnât yet
committed to the horrible memory
that haunted him.
