What Are Jonathots?

Spirited Daily Column Since March 24th, 2008  

 

If every time we had a good idea, we actually sat 
down and wrote it out instead of letting it slip out 
of our brains because we're on our way to work or the 
grocery store, might we actually accumulate some 
interesting insights that could be usable for later 
or just end up with something we stare at in 
bewilderment and go, "What was I thinking?" 

Jonathots--a whimsical and hopefully witty look at 
daily life, bringing the happenings of a twenty-four 
hour period into perspective and grasping onto the 
simple things that often escape us and therefore just 
might end up confounding us later with a bunch of 
complications that settle in and become permanent 
occupants in our brain, working off the basis of the 
two greatest forces at work on the planet--humor and 
spirit--Jonathots take the risk of crossing topics 
ranging from religion to politics to the intricacies 
of the universal discussion of pizza toppings and puts 
them into an on-the-spot monologue that neither asks 
for you to agree nor demands anything of you other 
than to muse and consider.

Jonathots...after all, if we don't comment, life might 
just begin to think we don't care.
