Memories

Yesterday I was struggling to think of something to write about. I then realized it was Thursday and I could wait another day to struggle. Cut to the drive in this morning. I went through a few existing ideas in my mind but didn't like them much. Sure, asking about driving myths and rules is great, but it's also pretty much just asking my main reader to get to work so I passed on that one.

But then I came upon the perfect idea! A great topic that everyone would enjoy. Something I could write a decently long post about!

You can probably tell by my delaying that I have forgotten what that topic was. This is why I have a list of ideas on my phone so I don't forget them. I was driving though so I couldn't write it down. I could have used Siri but then my music would have stopped for a short time and we can't have that. I've only listened to that album a hundred times. I need to keep going.

This is very typical in my life though. My short term memory is absolute trash. I'll read a number at work and by the time my hand makes it to the keyboard, it's gone. But, I can still remember that one time when my sisters were being assholes and I threw the remote at them and then went to my room and then Pilot came home later and pinned me down in my room when I told him to get out and it's the sole cause of all my problems today.

Well, that and politics. Mostly politics to be honest.

A lot of it is big events or what I care about though. I can remember the exact map of Fallout 3 despite not playing it for years because it was fun. The math in my drawings is not fun. I can remember unhappy moments from my youth because it was mostly a great and happy time and the bad moments stick out as major events. The math in my drawings is just all boring and uneventful.

To be clear, I'm not actually trying to say anything about my youth being bad or looking for an apology or anything. I was a douche as well. It's just one of those old shitty mind things that means I can't remember the topic I thought of this morning.

Maybe I should do a post of the best consistency of slime to allow for maximum sneezing.

Ooof - didn't expect to have that little gem of history come up. Not something I walk around bragging about - and frankly not something I feel too judgemental about either. Sometimes it feels like we're all held to a far higher standard than is reasonable. If we both got away with a handful of shitty moments we aren't proud of, then I think we've done ok. I just try and be better. "Make the better choice" has been a theme of mine for a few years.

Anyway, here's "Wonderwall".
