I tried this yesterday and got to about 24 minutes and had to stop. But in that 24 minutes, I learned something about myself.
I am NOT in control of my brain.
There is somebody up in that tangled mass of gray goo that is flipping switches without my permission, written OR verbal.
I would be chattering away about some mundane thing going on and in mid sentence, some far off memory would blast it’s way into the conversation, completely out of context. I mean left field is not far enough out to describe this thought compared to the ones just before and just after it. What is UP with that ?
Now I understand, there you are writing about the orange you just ate and how good (or bad) it tasted, and you remember the house you used to live in that had an orange tree in the back yard. This is a logical memory association. I GET that. But some of the things that popped up in the middle of a discussion about re-reading books were just plain bizarre.
How can the above statementabout re-reading books trigger a memory of a visit to a natural history museum 5 years ago ? It was like going to a movie and having a picture of popcorn flashed on the screen, you know a subliminal message.
Boy, I would like to pick the brain of a brain expert. What do they call people who study brains? Brainologists ? I don’t think that’s right do you ? Brainiacs ? No. Brainist ? Oh dear, that sounds worse. Anyway brain experts, that’s what I need, and plenty of them. I want to know how this electrically charged bit of nerve curd works. Don’t you ?
Where can you ask a brain expert a question ? I don’t think “Jeeves” knows anything about the subject.
Any Brain experts among us ?
Anyone ?
Toasted cheese sandwiches go really good with tomato soup.
There, see what I mean ? Where did THAT come from?
Help !
