The Life of Brian (In the Now) Archives - Page 14 of 20

I love to journal by telling stories. What’s going on in the life of Brian, in the now. Whether it be from stuff that happens at work, while hanging out with friends or while working on other creative projects. Stuff happens that I may just feel a need to interrupt my usual memoir-writing activity, that is this blog’s primary function. I share those stories here.

11/21/18: What’s Cookin’

Yesterday while scanning Facebook, I saw an obviously disgruntled "friend" declare with disgust that... "Facebook sucks, I'm outta here." This makes me sad. Not because the particular friend will no longer be part of my FB experience. I am happy to have developed my own way of incorporating this nearly totalitarian technological tool of connectivity...

11/18/18: This Morning

This morning, I'm reminded. This morning, I'm redoing... Only everything. ---------------------------------------- Yesterday... was Huge! Yet, this morning I'm reminded that there is hugeness to be seen and experienced everyday, in every moment. The fact that there was so much going on yesterday, is only a reflection of the "only everything"ness of what I was allowed [...]
