Thinking The Lions originally started out as a place for me to tell stories about my life and what I thought about those things; I decided, the time I tried to buy a refrigerator and it went badly, that I could either get upset about things, or laugh about them. I tried to laugh about them, and Thinking The Lions became a code, in my mind, for trying to make the best of a bad situation. Here's all the essays that help show how to be always Thinking The Lions:Silence is golden, which means I am the world's richest man.
