"a man is what he thinks about all day long." pt. 1

Simple enough. I'd put that on a mug and sell it at Wal-Mart to people who enjoy a close proximity to little inspirational tidbits while they drink their Diet Coke in front of the latest episode of Gossip Girl.

In the morning, he thinks about how tired he is. He thinks that he's hungry, and so he thinks about what to eat. After eating, he thinks about taking a shower. He gets on the computer and thinks about hitting the 'f' key to go to Facebook, and then the 'g' key to go to Gmail. He scrolls, clicks, thinks how that article is such a shame. He scrolls, clicks, thinks about how cute those animals are. He scrolls, clicks, thinks about how funny that comedian is. He thinks about how the water is a little too cold for the shower. He turns the knob slightly counter-clockwise. He thinks that feels right. He thinks it's a little cold in the house after the shower. He picks up his phone, unlocks it, sees the time. He thinks he has an hour before he has to be at work. He puts on clothes. He gets in his car. He sees the red meter, sitting on the white line above the E. He thinks that it's about time to get gas. He thinks that his bank account is probably a little low. He turns on the radio. He thinks that he likes this song. He thinks that he doesn't like the next one, though. He turns off the radio. He gets to work. He thinks she looks funny. He thinks that guy is annoying. He thinks he's slightly hungry. He thinks his back itches. He scratches it. He thinks that joke was funny. He thinks about what he will have for dinner. He gets off work. He drives home. He thinks that he needs to cook this before that. He cooks dinner. He eats. He gets on the computer and thinks about hitting the 'f' key. He thinks about hitting the 'g' key. He thinks that it's a little cold. He scrolls, clicks, thinks that's an inspiring story about a boy. He scrolls, clicks, thinks that he's angry at his friend for being dumb. He thinks that he's tired. He yawns. He thinks that he should brush his teeth. He does. He thinks that it's a little cold. He gets under the blankets. He thinks it's warmer under there. He thinks that he should set his alarm. He does. He thinks that he's tired. He shuts his eyes. He thinks that he's tired.

He hopes that his dreams are good tonight.
