Oh synapses

There is something about memory, but I cannot remember it right now. That is the way it always is with me. I will be talking to someone and not remember some key element of the story. Then after talking with them I remember what I wanted to say. I am also like that with things. I mean to do something or grab something. Then I walk out and forget it.

The bad part about forgetting is you seem like an idiot twice. First, when you actually forget where you are going in the conversation. Then it never fails that you remember what you wanted to say minutes, sometimes hours, after the conversation. So you blurt out some random thing. Of course it was not random during the previous conversation.

Usually when I remember something I snap my fingers. I do not know why I do this. Sometimes I will also point. Maybe it is my brain firing and working through my fingers.

The good thing about a memory is that it is only as good as you remember it.
