…My grandkids are apparently huge football fans. You should hear them cheer when the crowd gets fired up.

 

…It’s hard to understand if you don’t know.

 

…I guess I’m always going to be under surveillance and just need to get used to it.

 

…I wish Stevie Nicks would stop staring at me like I’m a heartless bastard.

 

…“The previous play is under review.”

 

…Three weeks without football is going to be a record. God help me.

 

…We’ll just live with it, like forever.

 

…A life without friends would be pretty meaningless.

 

…Who can I trust? is always right there at the top of my list. 

 

…It’s a good thing that’s only air or we’d all be dead about now.

 

…If you're an eagle and you’re hungry enough, you’re totally going after that lone duckling. It’s sad, but you just are.

 

…I wonder what it would be like not to have to pick a side. Can’t a guy just be like Switzerland?

 

…I wonder how many days I could go without eating before I died. I’m pretty sure I’d set a record.

 

…The other day someone told me that the way to happiness is having really low expectations. I’m not so sure about that.

 

…“Everybody is somebody’s fool.” Orson Welles

 

…You don’t know good it is to feel normal until you haven’t for an extended period of time.

 

…“You’re on earth. There’s no cure for that.” Samuel Beckett

 

…It’s hard to win when you only have “I’s” left.

 

…When you don’t know what to say to someone, all that white noise sounds deafening.

 

…What’s so wrong with having an orange phone? Fine me. Oh, wait, you already did.

 

…Picking the edges is a hard way to make it, but if you’re that good, you should.

 

…“It’s now or never,” is a daunting statement, yet mostly true.

 

…What’s great is how close you can be to someone you never see, so long as both of you make an effort.

 

…$8.20 for a breakfast sandwich and small drip coffee seems sort of criminal. Just sayin’.

 

…Sugar ants are both a mystery and a nuisance.

 

…I walked by Cinnabon the other day and stopped to breathe in but couldn’t smell a damn thing.

 

…Nobody likes being laughed at.

 

…It can get tricky having too many second thoughts.

 

…Usually the more complicated a relationship is, the more dysfunctional it is.

 

…Sometimes liking yourself takes a lot of work.

 

…If you’re going to write something, make it honest, even if it’s fiction.

 

…I can tell you about it, but it doesn’t mean anything if you don’t believe it, right?

 

…It’s great to be here.

 

…Just so you know, it’s all good on my end.

 

…Take me to church.
