Here are some peculiar thoughts that have entered my head at one time or another. They're organised alphabetically (in a rather eccentric fashion), for no particular reason. One day they may become poems or stories, or maybe they won't. Please feel free to use any of them in your own writings, just so long as whatever you write is interesting.
All of my friends are all of me
Am I the friend of my friends' parents?
Advertising signs in space (are the advertising the signs, or the space?)
A musical instrument is dead without a player
Abandoned Coke can in the street I kick at you with weary feet
Apathy is a great motivator
Are you alright? No - problem.
A concrete moose and a two ticket truck
Beach ago, A

How should we count stairs?
Intergalactic car crash
If the truth is out there, where, exactly, is there?
I have the ability to be faithful to a dream
In the city the stars are streetlamps
It is a curse to love everyone. Or is it a blessing?
I'm too romantic to get a girlfriend
I walk there
I trudge back
I was born in the Year of Star Wars
I'd hate to be called John - every letter would be a "Dear John"
Letter openings are always unoriginal
Love is a cruel kindness (or perhaps it just seems so)
Love is sexist - you fall in love with someone depending on their sex.
Laughing in the face of boredom
Memories of a cherished piano
Mowing circles around trees whilst leaving the lawn alone
Musical chairs on a bus
Noble paradox
Rocks for peasants(pheasants?)
Remember that a lot of this is ironic. Perhaps even double coded.

Schrodingers Scratchie
Some people search in other people's bins. I search in my own.
Someone must be normal to have an abnormal
Searching for the stars on an abandoned basketball court

Why do so many questions begin with "W"?
Wars are useful for unification. But little else
