Awesome Josh

For the most part, I have an excellent memory.  It’s really quite amazing how great my memory is.  But of course, when I need to remember something or want to remember something, I forget.  Like a blog post.  The other day I was browsing around the internet and I had this epiphany about a blog post and I go to write it and I completely forgot what the hell it was that I was thinking of blogging about.  I hate when things like that happen.

I mean, I can feel it, it’s like right on the edge of my memory and if I could just recall it, but no, it just isn’t working.  Maybe my memory is on strike for a little bit.  It’s pissed that I’ve only read 3 books this year and that’s just not enough because my memory, my mind, needs the exercise.  Ok, well I’ve read more than 3 books, but not nearly as many as I’d like to.  I usually have loads of books at my disposal to read, but they all seemed to have disappeared into the abyss known as my attic, or even worse, the hell that is my basement.

I have to say though, that Lisa rocks.  There was apparently a second part of my package and it came the next day.  It was Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk.  It’s been on my wish list forever and she bought it for me.  How awesome is that?  It took me not even a day to read, it was that good.  Everyone should read it.  Seriously.  I’ll have to write up an official post about it, but I need to read it again.  That’s how good it was.

Getting back to that memory…I’m easily distracted, and maybe that is the problem.  Maybe I just got distracted and there wasn’t enough time for my short-term memory to absorb my brilliant idea.  I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to keep track of such brilliant ideas and I’m looking at a few options.  I’ve downloaded some programs and I’m going to be testing them out and see how well it goes with those.  I’m also going to try keeping a moleskin notebook by my side.  Whichever one works best for me is what I’ll do.  I’ll probably have to manage a system using both my computer and my notebook, because I don’t always have a computer on me, but I’ll always have the notebook.  Well, we’ll see.

Even now, this post is a distraction from what I should be doing.  I’m not exactly certain what it is I should be doing, but I know there’s something.  Well, it’ll all work itself out in the end I suppose.

In other news, I’m frequenting some Trans forums.  I don’t know many other trans people, so I think this is good for me.  I’ll get to know the lingo, get to know more about some of the processes, and just meet some people that know what I’m going through.  No offense to anyone, but it’ll be nice to have some people that’ll know what I’m going through and can sympathize/empathize with it all.  I’ll have to write some more about this later as well.

Alright.  I’ve been meaning to watch a movie for the past week and I keep getting distracted by things.  I’m going to do that now, right after I grab a snack.  I’m starving.
