Rant 36 - 5/2/12 Subject: Silly things my brain does (or doesn't as the case may be)

Rant number 36
My brain is pretty damn good you know? It has a two high resolution cameras, a playback function, loads of memory & lots of versatility. If it was a computer - my brain would be a pretty expensive one you know?

But like a computer, my brain has its silly flaws, and these things bloody annoy me.

I had a rant in mind earlier, and I'm almost sure it was a humdinger!

The thing is, its gone now, lots in an invalid memory (in this case a brain cell gone to the dogs or which has been allocated to helping remember the lyrics to the birdy song.) It will probably come back to me. But it will be on another day when I don't need it, so it won't be

This kind of thing happens to me a lot! Sometimes, I will need a word for something - a word that I know & have used many times. I then find that I have forgotten the word I need to use.
The thing is - I can't even really ask someone else for the word can I, because - lets face it - the way to describe the word I need is to use it!

The good news is that the words do always come back, but usually just after its usage has been rendered pointless.

Another thing I (as with many folk) get is Deja Vu. Its doesn't tend to be of any harm, but feels really - really weird.
Because I am also a little paranoid (a perfectly sane reaction to the insanity of the modern world I think you will find) I can't help but worry that I really have been to these places or seen these people before! I mean - who is to say that the bit of your brain that goes 'you really possibly couldn't have been here or seen this person before' is the correct and sane one!

My brain also does weird stuff with strange thoughts etc.

How many times have you found yourself wondering exactly why cows are called cows? (If the answer to this is 0 - you have evidently never lived,) why donkeys are not just called mini horses, why ducks quack and why their quacks do not echo (according to popular myth)

Your brain does thousands of these pointless quantifications every day...

And at night! Well then your brain loves to keep you awake when its time for sleep. It's bloody ridiculous - it really is. I don't want to sit awake at night worrying about the modern world - but it appears I have no choice.

My brain probably just needs a factory reset!

Rant over.
