The 100th Post

I suppose this is a milestone 🙂

I should have been here much sooner, as my goal at one point was to post daily – from the looks of it, a 2021 new year’s resolution gone awry.

But life has a way of distracting us sometimes.

So as I reflect back on 5 years of sharing my thoughts with the virtual world, I can only hope that I have made even a marginal impact on at least one real person.

And if I haven’t, I am thankful for my own growth on this writing journey, learning how to say more with less.

How to clearly convey a message without overwhelming an audience to my stream of thought.

How to break through the fear of exposing these abstract thoughts of mine to reality.

How to avoid altering my thoughts to fit an audience.

And now, onward to 1,000 posts!

The etymology of brainsbri

Why brainsbri?

Due to the extensive amount of help I provided a buddy of mine in High School physics, he bought me a T-shirt with ‘Monkey Brains’ written below an image of a monkey. I consequently earned the moniker “Monkey Brains” Brian, which doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, so we shortened it to brainsbri.

Is it a great name? Debatable.

Could I do better? Sure – but please make me famous first so I can afford a branding consultant.
