What Are You Thinking Of Right Now?

that's when everyone recognized that watching some tv shows was akin to drooling in the brain. Anticipation of being entertained and numbing out for a bit.
 
I'm thinking of my next-oldest brother, who's no longer with us. When I was in 6th grade, I had an 8th grader that liked to bully me. One day I decided to stand-up to him and kick his ass... you know, like in the movies. Well, he beat the crap out of me. :laughing
A few days later, in retaliation, I saw him riding down the street on his 10-speed, so I hid in a bush and jammed a broom stick in his front wheel, sending him over the bars... then I ran like the wind. :rofl
A few days later, he caught me a couple blocks away and proceeded to beat me like a pinata. While I was down and he was reigning blows upon me, he suddenly stopped, his eyes got big, and he took off running. I sat up and saw my brother (a true maniac), who was a couple years older than him, sprinting towards us. He ran right past me, chased this kid down and gave him a thorough beating. I'll never forget my brother telling him, while he was bleeding and sobbing "You fuck with him, I fuck with you! Got it?" That kid never came anywhere near me again. :laughing
As adults, he had a falling out with me and the rest of the family. When my mom died several years ago, we tried to contact him and found out he was already gone. What a shame. : |
 
My brother also died by suicide... but in his late fifties or maybe sixty. I think he may have had a terminal illness, but his wife (satan's spawn), won't communicate with any of us, so who knows? :dunno
We had a very chaotic upbringing, but as I get older, I only remember the good stuff... mainly the motorcycles!!
 
I was thinking about the meeting with the TV producer, big multiple network executive producer was in my house for a cup of tea. One of the most amazing ladies I've ever met, and we had a very productive meeting. It may sound strange, but I literally showed her my bird. My parrot you sicks.

I have a feeling I'll see her again. I may get to visit her house too. It's amazing how life is changing.
 
I'm thinking, chaotic upbringings are the norm for those of us on the cusp of Baby Boomer and GenX (I think they call us generation Jones) and the "normal families wound up with a bunch of stray kids.
 
I was thinking I'm not very worldly, and that's too bad because next year I get to go on a global tour with two beautiful women along with my boss here and there - but that's all good because my boss is an awesome guy full of energy and big ideas. It might sound fun, and there will be fun, but it will be a major pain in the ass and a lot of work.

I've recently shared stories. They are very dark - I came out with few scars on the outside. I'm not sure who was worse, my overlords or how my peers reacted to what they created.
 
I don't pop into this thread as often as I'd like to.
But, as to the thread title: What are you thinking right now?
I'm thinking I'm an idiot.
I've found myself doing a lot of the cooking lately. My beloved S/O has congestive heart failure and we have to pretty much make our own food to avoid the copious amount of sodium that lives in seemingly the most innocent of foods. We were told she can basically eat what she wants as long as it never comes from a box, package or bag. So....I've been doing a lot of cooking....and cutting of vegetables.
After a few too many close calls with a dull knife and a slippery onion, I decided to buy myself a nice vegetable chopper...to y'know...be safe.
It arrived two days ago. It's super trick. It has all kindsa cool attachments, like for making spiral carrots and other things I'll never do.
Last night, I began prepping dinner and began chopping an onion with my bare hands and dull knife. That's when it occurred to me I should be utilizing my safe new toy.
I placed the onion in it and pressed down on the lever. The onion got cocked sideways and was stuck. No problem. I'll just pry it out with my thumb.
That's precisely the moment I cut the living shit outta my thumb.
Irony.
