Forgetful-ness

For the life of me, I can't kick my forgetfulness.  Each and every day there are plenty of blog-worthy opportunities that are presented to me - unthinkable outfits people wear here in the Bronx, sports stories, current events, birthdays, etc. etc.  And each and every day, I forget to write them down, even though I tell myself to write them down, because here in the Bronx and greater NYC area, a lot of random, funny shit happens.

I try to do crosswords to keep my brain and mind sharp, I read from time to time, but I still cannot break the habit of forgetting things.  I remember information pertaining to family, friends, dates of interest and events (for the most part) but when it comes to blogging I refuse to tap into my memory for material.  I am not short on material to write about - I just write about whatever is on my brain and what I find interesting/funny/ridiculous.

There's at least a handful of things I wanted to post about today but I can't remember what they are.  And it pisses me off to no end and sometimes eats me up inside. 

Here's a list of shit I routinely forget:
- where I put my keys
- where I parked my car
- where I put my phone
- what day it is
- where my iPod is

I guess forgetting these things pales in comparison with forgetting other things.  And the weird thing is I memorize some phone numbers, even though it's totally unnecessary because in my cell phone, all I need to do is search for a name.

OK, enough rambling about my shortcomings.  Time to get some work done here.  I took a 5 minute break because I almost passed out from heat exhaustion because the gym is about 247°.

Back to work so I can get out of here soon.

I know exactly how you feel about the keys because I do that all the time as well.

You and me are the same. I kid you not.

My blog could be so great...I just need to learn to write things down.
