The unflinching capture of unchallenged thoughts

For longer than I can remember, I've had unannounced ideas and thoughts and phrases pop into my head to pronounce their greatness, only to leave just as quickly, as it laughing, forever getting lost in the fog of oblivion, their presumptive greatness never to be tested or challenged.
No longer. I am writing these suckers down, forcing them into a page. Or, as is my case, the insipid Notes app inside a cold iPhone. If they are indeed great or have potential, they'll be freed. Otherwise, they'll face true oblivion, no longer tormenting me with What Ifs and You Should Haves.
Here's one such sentence:

I don't have spontaneous lyricism.

Oh, well.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dear John

@ivanlajara @cochranism Ivan, you're not here, so you don't get to dictate terms. Shoulda been here

Sure John, sure.

Kingston shows up to work late, becaWAIT A SEC HOW IS 8:09 A.M. LATE?

The median worker in Kingston shows up to work at 8:09 a.m. (and that is apparently late, relatively, what?), according to a report by Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight.com.

The median in the U.S. is 7:55 am., Silver reports using Census data, adding that New York City's median is the worst/best in the country at 8:24 a.m., bunch of good-for-nothing lazy pants.

For the record, I come to work at around 8:30 a.m. (-ish  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ), which is actually more than 8 hours later that I used to when I was a copy editor some 10 years ago, so cut me some slack over here.

This horrible hour of showing up to work with funky hair, questionable wardrobe, red eyes and despair, I should note, is remarkably later than that of the Freeman's managing editor, Tony Adamis, who works crazy hours and crazy times because he's ... a hard worker, yes sir.

So, what time do you show up to work? And why are you responding to this while at work?
