The first thought of the week was that it would be interesting to weave a weekly thought-narrative into The Real Tom Bratt Blog. The course of a week can take a person a lot of different directions. Since I've been keeping track, I've noticed how far ranging my different thoughts are - politics, social norms, baby talk, dick jokes, vegan tacos, etc. - yet, somehow, they weave a cohesively whole person, with a very human inner dialogue.
Like, why do people call it fake if a person acts one way in one setting, but slightly different in another. Rather than 'fake' Isn't this more akin to adaptability, which is a good thing? And, of course people are going to act a bit different in places they like and feel comfortable.
Romain lettuce is terrible in smoothies.
Which is a bit odd because it tastes so good in salads with the same ingredients.
Racism is extremely dumb. Especially coming from people and groups that have no knowledge or access to people of the same group their 'racing' or discriminating against. I think you shouldn't be able to comment on any group or custom unless you have knowledge of at least one person of that particular group or custom.
It is way easier to keep weight off when you're older.
Our country has been at war for way, way too long.
I'm scared of how much people are carrying guns around, and think they're the opposite of understanding. I'm speaking mostly of handguns and automatic weapons. I'm against anything you can shoot without pulling the specific trigger and reloading. Like, if it shoots several times in a row with the shooter having to do nothing, that is scary.
The U.S. Postal System is pretty amazing. You can get something across the country with a few strokes of a pen and a stamp.
Tom Izzo halftime speeches are the best.
Happiness, true, inner happiness is possible, and the eternal possible to tap into.
It's really sad when kids lie: especially when they get away with it.
House of Cards season 4 was fun to watch.
Working with your hands, which I'm about to do, is rewarding.
