Back In Black
Yeah, its been something along the lines of many days since the last post (so much for that everyday crap). But I’m going to try a new approach…
So I’m definately starting to freak myself out sometimes with this little situation that occurs every once in a while. A “deja-vu” situation that is. I know what deja-vu is: (time for wikipedia kids!) “The experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously.”Apparently I’ve had a “temporal-lobe epilepsy.” In other words, my brain is having a seizure. There has been a ”mismatching in the brain that causes the brain to mistake the present for the past.” My brain is mistaking the present for the past? That doesn’t make any sense. In order for my brain to have a “past” it must have already happened! We have a feeling of time with past, present, and future all because of memory. Now if something really hasn’t happened yet, then how can my brain confuse it with what is currently happening? It like saying when you put a certain file on a hard drive, it will make the computer crash, but the computer crashes before it’s been written on the hard drive. Sounds like the computer had a deja-vu. The computer, i.e. my brain, must then known that the file is gong to be uploaded and therefore must have previous knowledge of the future event that it will crash upon the file being written on the drive, a.k.a. a deja-vu! So by trying to explain a deja-vu, I’ve created one, and hence, and infinite loop. If I try to explain the deja-vu, I end right back at the same deja-vu I wish to explain!
It was Saturday night and I was sitting at the left turn lane on Turner rd to turn left onto Gunn. I was talking to my friend, everything was normal, and I guess I had a “brain seizure” because it was like somebody glocked me with a cricket bat. I swear that I had been there sitting in my truck, late a night, waiting to turn left onto Gunn, with my friend, talking about the exact very same topic! As I was sitting there I’d swear that I had been sitting there before! I was even in mid-sentence when it happened! I even stopped talking right then and told her about the feeling. It lasted literally 2 seconds and I just thought whatever and went back to finishing my sentence. Never even thought about it for the rest of the night, but it just randomly popped in my head about over an hour ago and I can’t stop thinking about it.
OK, let’s analyze this through; My brain confused the present (in my truck, night, friend, conversation, etc) with the past…That means it took the present as a memory…a memory that technically doesn’t exist yet…
Fuck it, I’m tired of thinking about it. I had a brain seizure that’s all there is to it. I guess they go around like the flu these days…
Here’s some links, you figure it out…

This is why I keep say we can’t trust our brains! Maybe are brains are confusing the past with the present for all we know…I’m just going to stop there…I can go on for days about this crap…
