A Post About....hmm. Nevermind.

Have you ever tried to catch a thought? It’s hard. More fleeting than a sparrow, quicker than a fish, and all the other nature examples I could use. And the thing is, most times you don’t realize that is has passed you by. Until someone asks you something, and expects you to know the answer. Then you realize that it’s gone. Were you not paying attention? Or was there a more urgent matter that occupied that section of muscle and grey matter you call your brain? Did you forget because is was unimportant? Or you didn’t like what you heard? Or is your subconscious in cahoots with the aliens trying to take over our minds? The funny thing is, you can’t remember which excuse you used! You can’t remember if you genuinely forgot, or if a fly buzzing by seemed more interesting than what that person was saying. Don’t laugh, there are a lot of people who have paralyzed their friends before. Maybe for some, catching a thought is like flipping to a page. Oh, it may take a little bit to get there, but then bam! There you are, looking at what you’ve learned, remembering the details as you go on, and realizing that it’s all coming back to you now. Like a thug with a dirty secret in a back ally… Eh, maybe I should stick to the nature analogies. Hey, for some it’s like looking in a file cabinet. A little unorganized at times, and maybe every once in awhile you lose something. But you get it after awhile, and whip the file out like a cop, mug shot, hometown, and favorite ice cream flavor. Yes, it’s official, the analogies are getting worse. But sometimes, it’s like looking into an abyss. Not a nice one either. The kinds on scary movies with no light and the wails of the dead emanating forth. Yes, your sure that it was dumped here. Well, pretty sure, it’s just a little difficult to find. Maybe instead of trying to find it in the dark, you could just ask again. Because, you may have been a little distracted. Yeah, just ask again. Wait, you dropped it. Once more. Uh huh, got it… just to double check annnnnnndddd… yes. Ok, there ya go. Some people are only a wee upset, so you’re good. Just don’t drop it, cause you may not… now look what you’ve done! Ugh. Good luck!!
