goodnight - goodmorning
“Most people are on the world, not in it - having no conscious sympathy or relationship to anything about them - undiffused, separate, and rigidly alone like marbles of polished stone, touching but separate” - John Muir
I wish that I didn’t believe this quote was true. I could use a hand. a hand, some clarity, and gentle understanding.

today I gave up smoking, fish, and drunk dialing.
true story.
Watching Junebug for the 457th time. Wishing the plane I was boarding was one-way. alone, and to nigeria.
calories and dis-advanced rhetoric have been filling my days to the point at which I think I may throw up.
Disregard the above, or just…don’t, but I have something to disguss. I was enraptured by this preacher I caught on tv the other day. He was disgussing what love is what it...

I’m so confused. Is your validity in life created by being married by your twenties? Are you more complete when you decide to begin a family, foster pets, buy a house, go to sleep early? Forgive me, or don’t, but I’m choosing a different type of “living.”

four pounds down and a brand new member of the family. That is what has been going on with me. Watched, The Darjeeling Limited, Into the Wild, 10,000 BC, Clerks, 2 Days in Paris, Capote, oh man, I’ve watched so many movies I cant even remember. 10,000 BC was ranked in the three worst movies I’ve ever seen. The other two are Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and August Rush. Into the Wild was...
YES!! Finally!! Swingers, Children of Men, Ghost World, Blood Diamond. I usually get myself so amped to see a movie that someone tells me is “so me!” Then end up wondering why anyone would think I would like said movie. So hearing over and over again how “me” swingers is made me pretty skeptical from the beginning. It was generally obnoxious, and I loved every minute of...
my heart and my mind feel like they are going to explode. God has shown me so much in one day. and to be honest, I don’t think I like what He has shown me.

Mike: this eclipse doesn't fully black out the moon does it?
Me: No, not really. The sun is like, really bright.
Mike: thank you brandi.
New movie selections: When Nitchze Wept, Atonement, Naked, Sideways, Garden State for the first time, Dogma, Storytelling, The Good Girl. All are worth watching. When Nitchze wept and Atonement were amazing, in my opinion. Garden State was so hyped up and also so lackluster. I had hyped Sideways up to myself so much and thought it was to have a sort of charisma on its own but in fact it was...
Weekly Surge Weekly Surge is an entertainment, news, and lifestyle alt-weekly local 20 - 30 somethings magazine. They have graciously allowed me to write a celeb gossip column for them that I am so excited about, but my staying power is solely limited to it’s readers. So go and check it out in the following week and let them know what you think!!
NOTE: Brandi Thompkins is officially on a diet. A real one. if anyone sees me with a piece of candy, or any sort of junk food to my face, you have free reign to hit me in the jaw. Break it, even. It might help. Beer is included in junk food. If I get to my goal weight after two years of being fat and happy, then i will walk around naked. everywhere.
I completed one more thing on my goal list of things to do before I die!! Write an article for a magazine.
Spending 70 percent of your time trying to make someone be as happy as you and the other 30 percent being angry because they refuse to is not exactly the “best” way to live your life.
so I watched The Patriot for the first time this weekend
Brandi: So this is about what war?
Mike: The Revolutionary War. America was fighting against Britain.
Brandi: ....(pause)Did America win this one?
Mike: ....
Brandi: oh obviously so.
Mike: wow.
me: You wrote "I do" in your grits last night. hahaha
Mike: Well, they were mashed potatoes. But I still wrote it.
me: oh my god I love you hhaha
I’m sitting here eating a biscuit AND french fries not giving a damn AND IT FEELS SO GOOD

I say: and sometimes i want to go to the braves game and eat a big hot dog.
I say: with chili on it
DorcusMallorcus says: that was quite sexy

mark my words. I will never EVER move anywhere where is gets below 32 degrees for more than one month out of the year. or more than two weeks at a time. If I decide to ever go against this, please advise me of this post.
I’ve just had a revelation about people. I determined just now that everything about a person can be determined by the way that they handle their car. I should have realized this about two years ago when I accepted a date invitation from a guy that I met out one night. He seemed nice and asked to take me to the movies so I felt that it was sincere enough and I would accept. I was angry at...
I wish i could major in something cool. like stand up comedy. or casserole making. not “cooking.” but specifically casserole making. “What are you going to school for?” “Christmas Ribbon Tying. I’m going to tie Christmas Ribbons for a living.”
addkid2k4: i shaked bill clinton's hand last night.

addkid2k4: but i shook his hand so i am content
addkid2k4: i've wanted to do that since 1992
Sed Bello: HAHAHAHAHAHHA
I was bound and determined to not write anything too personal in this. and thus far, I’ve stuck to it to a degree. But I’ve decided that today, I’m going to make this a little more personal. I made a commitment to someone a little over a year ago. We both vowed to keep a commitment to each other, and due to selfishness, jealousy, or the loss of the concern we had for each other...

“I feel like it” and “I want to” are indeed very valid reasons to do anything. I might throw my phone away today. Why? Because I feel like it.

He was throwing grain into the ground below, ground below With dreary circles of his arm, going slow, very slow His cap pulled down roun’ his ears to Hide the smile and watery tears My loving wife is so wonderful How small seeds gracefully to grow Into beautiful things that spring from these rows With their musical names and musical sound Dreary birds parade across the dreary sky, but down...
At 8:30 this morning, I had already cried once. Upon occasion I have a baby emotional break down and analyze my life repeatedly, and this week has been a semi emotional tirade. Fully emotional, really. Semi Tirade, I suppose. This week has spawned tears and questions about who I am and want to be. Where I am and who I’m with. what I really want to do with my life. Not that this is any new...
What I find interesting is that a person’s favorite quote comes after a lifestyle choice. The quote has not defined them. The quote has not changed their life. Instead a person feels a certain way and searches for someone who has already said what or how they feel. It seems like people do not feel confident enough to write for themselves. To say something profound. No one tries to capture in...

I’ve made two very important decisions today.Not that I haven’t decided anything else today. I decided real hard to eat pizza from my car from last night as breakfast, but that one wasn’t important. Important decision number one today was to skip all forms of eyeliner. I spend appoximately 15 mintues trying to get all of the eyeliner off of my eyes at night just so i can wake up...
