Now because my brains don’t appear to work the same as other peoples brains some of these ideas are not such good ideas or they were in context of the conversation. So in an effort to rid my self of all the little bits of paper I’ve been writing them down again in one note book. See there is order and a method to the chaos. But there are still days when I sit here and what you get is what you get, I’m not even sure what is in my head half the time. Real life super hero guy asked me one time, “do you even listen to what you are saying?” I quickly replied “No”. I’ve had to develop a filter over time because the thought is in my head and out my mouth, it doesn’t always work. While it can be fun at times it can also be a tad insensitive at others. I did develop a cover for my lack of filter which I’m sure I borrowed from pop culture which is to say, “Was that out loud?” You know to suggest that my internal dialogue had slipped up but not necessarily in a Freudian manner.
Like when I was in the first grade I remember I wasn’t paying attention in class and the teacher called me out on it. Well I had just seen a movie, the Aristocats and it is all musical like because it’s Disney and that is what they like or they think kids like is musical stuff, which has seemed to be a pretty good formula for them as they make bank on their shit. Anywho… I was replaying the movie in my head and singing along to myself. The teacher unaware of the scene in my head asks a question.
I don’t know the answer I say
She says why not
I say, because some cat is playing records in my head. Which was actually what was happening in my thought and I think was going on in the movie too at some point. Those cats were singing and dancing fools.
Well after some thought about this for the teacher some cat spinning records in my head may have conjured an image of a beatnik party with people all in black and possibly doing things with questionable legality or morality but certainly with some AL -ITY to what ever was going on. And whether or not she should notify some one of this little incident.
Come to think of it I did have an awful lot of parent teacher meetings, I didn’t pay attention to them because while they were talking about me they certainly didn’t want my two cents because I would offer and they would tell me to behave and that this was grown up business. NO, it’s me business and I may have gotten glasses sooner if I wasn’t tuned out all the time and perhaps better grades, less conferencing and few ass beatings for being intellectually challenges a PC term for stupid. Report card come in what are you stupid. Let me see, yup bad grades = stupid says so right there pointing to the card. Can’t you read a report card? Yeah that ended well for my butt. Turns out they could read. You son has potential that he is not work up to.
Hmm… maybe if you noticed that I squinted at the board and wrote words in letters and not whole words might have been a clue that I needed vision correction. I didn’t put it together because I didn’t know how they eyes worked then and I did figure it out before I finished school, yes it was me who figured it out, so I tell the units I need glasses and they say are you sure. I say pretty sure.
Now it wasn’t like I was blind and had to walk up to the board to see but I did have to squint to see what was there and not in every class because sometimes I was in the front but generally I was some where in the middle and far enough away from the board to not know what was up there and if I had an eraser happy teacher it just didn’t get into my notes.
Well that took a left turn that wasn’t part of the plan, actually it took two left turns then a right and a few more lefts and Tah- dah here were are. Not our intended destination but a destination none the less. Perhaps I’ll write about the other scrap of paper later.
In other news
My new glasses make me relevant so says former co-worker in the following conversation.
Hey Don, are those new glasses?
Why yes they are new I just got them a few days ago.
I like them they make you look so relevant.
Now I really believe she meant current and with the fashion trend and not that oh thank god you have some fashion that isn’t the 1890’s dude.
Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely
