Paris-Ochial – You Watched What? In High School?

Thanks for getting me hooked on Cool Ranch in ninth grade, Jay.

If you’re not familiar with my series “Paris-Ochial,” these are tales of my time at a Catholic high school as a Protestant.

Read Part I Here

Recently I was turned on to a great NPR podcast.   It’s called On  Being with Krista Trippett, and, not unlike all the other awesomeness that is NPR, it’s a deeper discussion into such things like race, social reform, and anything else that matters. READ MORE

Sitting In My Room With The Lights Off At 8:30pm In My Bed On Friday

I can relate. Not to being Indian.
stressed about money
I can relate. Not to being Indian.

Ever once in awhile I get super depressed.

Not “hide the razorblades” depressed, but more “eat too much, watch an Office rerun and pig out on LifeSavers” depressed.

I’m bummed about finances.

Thankfully I’m not a debt person – I mean I pay a mortgage, but no other obligations.  I have to write the government a big tax check by December 31st because I incorporated to save on taxes.  The crappy part  is that I now have to pay by December 31st instead of next April like the rest of you.

Last Night I Wrote The Greatest Episode of Workaholics Ever

The plot was something about a medical office. I think.

Last night I wrote the greatest episode of Workaholics ever.

I was dreaming, mind you, but I swear it really was fantastic.  In my dreams I have the ability to judge quality as it pertains to the waking world.  Had it been crap, I would be telling you that I wrote a crappy episode of  Workaholics.  But I didn’t.  It was great. READ MORE

    The Worst Thing About Christmas

    I was shaking with anger when I took this photo.

    People who write comedy often spin the negative of a tradionally positive event to make easy jokes.

    For example if I had titled this post “The Best Thing About Christmas,” it might be sweet but it certainly wouldn’t be funny.

    It’s hard to find humor in harmony and beauty.   Let’s try one now. READ MORE

    The Cause Of My Suffering

    Even those she's suffering, she's suffering in a super-sexy way.

    Even those she's suffering, she's suffering in a super-sexy way.

    I’d like to get serious for a moment.  For reals, yo.

    The cause of  much of my suffering is the illusion that I am different from you.

    We are all different.  We’re not all the same.  You have certain abilities and I have others.  Different. READ MORE

    It’s another end of the week recap at ThoughtsFromParis.  If you notice, there’s a brand new logo above, and I like it.  I also did some of the design, and while I’m no artist, I’ve seen worse.

    Cracking Your Knuckles Is Gross

    Psychos

    I’m not traditionally a man’s man.   I’m not effeminate, either.

    My condo is usually less than perfectly clean, I don’t spend more than 30 seconds on my hair (brushes and combs are lame), and once a week I go to sleep without brushing my teeth. READ MORE
