or shall I say, this is how my brain doesn't work. Right after Thanksgiving, I was remembering that a dear friend of mine had a birthday coming up in the first half of December. The 10th to be exact. Well, I knew it was coming and I planned everyday what cutesy little thing I could do, either by posting on my blog or by Facebooking something. She doesn't like a big fuss, but she certainly deserves to be recognized on her birthday, especially since she is older than me, ha ha!! That is my favorite part of her birthday.
Well, you know Facebook does everything it can to remind you of these upcoming birthdays short of reaching out and slapping you in the face, and all week prior to the 10th I was wishing it wasn't reminding me because I was doing a fabulous job of remembering all by myself and I wanted the credit. I was so pleased with myself and that doesn't happen very often. I didn't want her thinking the only reason I remembered was because Facebook reminded me.
Well, the 10th of December came and went and I couldn't for the life of me tell you what I was doing all day, except completely forgetting someone's birthday. Even Facebook wasn't good enough to trigger me that day. Now, the way I see it, I though of her for weeks in advance, and now I think of her everyday while trying to figure out how I forgot her. Maybe the moral of the story is that I really do think of her much more often than just on her birthday (obviously) and I hope she has some normal friends that helped her celebrate that particular special day that managed to elude me one way or another.
A brain fart (jocularly derived from "brainstorm")[1] is slang for a special kind of abnormal brain activityhuman error while performing a repetitive task,[2][3] or more generally denoting a degree of mental laxity or any task-related forgetfulness, such as forgetting how to hold a fork. Tom Eichele, a neuroscientist at the University of Bergen in Norway, was part of an international team of researchers who identified evidence that the brain fart is detectable in brain scans up to 30 seconds before the mistake is actually made. The researchers suspect the abnormal behavior is the result of the brain attempting to save effort on a task by entering a more restful state. The scientists detailed their findings on 21 April 2008 online in the journal which results in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The scientific term they gave the phenomenon is "maladaptive brain activity change

Now that you all know that I maintain a civil relationship with my "ex", I will occasionally share with you some of his philosophies on life. Let me warn you now, sometimes they can be quite a hoot.
