2. And usually it's in mid stride while you were going to do that very whatchamacallit

argh! now you have to retrace your steps just to maybe get a hint of that whatchamacallit.

What I worry more about is wondering what the whatchamallit is that you're now wondering WTF whatchamacallit you're even whatchamacalling.

Wait! What?

that is why I enjoy an afternoon nap ... my glasses and TV remote are safely on my nightstand. No need to wash the car cause it's rained for the past 3 days. I'll pay the bill by phone.

used to have this joke that when you forgot something, just sit down and you will remember since the brain is in the ass for many folks.

[hopemountain]

10. the other day i was on the phone with a phone tech

who asked me for my phone number in case we were disconnected and then: ________________. i was a complete blank.
i started laughing - sorry, "brain fart" i told him. still laughing, i told him i had to hang up…giggled about it all day. of course, i remembered it not even 1 minute later - but that would have been too long to hold him on the phone.

11. what were we talking about?

it'll come to me................

[orleans]

12. it's just that we've got so damn much on our minds...

when we were younger we tended to be more zeroed in on one or two things
when we get older we are not so focused on those one or two things (like the cute guy or girl we used to obsess over, or getting caught having sex in the car, or what clothes to wear on a given night out, etc., etc.)

being a grown-up preoccupies us with major responsibility crap.

life-altering crap.

no wonder we're so mentally scattered

being grown-up sucks most of the time.
too much seriousness, too much responsibility. not enuf joy anymore. (at least that's how it is for me)

13. Where did I put the cheese crackers?
