I have read somewhere that everything you see, hear or learn is stored somewhere in your brain, it is just a matter of retrieving it. For that reason, I have always pictured the brain as being some sort of closet. Some things you can reach in your closet with ease while others require searching and dislodging other articles to find. Apparently the entire front section of my "closet" is dedicated to worthless trivia no one ever needed to know, but which I can retrieve at a moment's notice. Other things are buried in the far recesses of my closet, apparently having been boarded up and carpeted over...these are things like algebraic formulas, western civilization and any kind of geography.
Falling out of my closet every time I open the door are things like all the songs of School House Rock, the names of cartoon characters, the theme songs of shows I have never even seen and the names of actors from movies I have never viewed.
Unfortunately, this spills over into other aspects of my life. I have found recently that while I apparently suck at remembering faces, I have a knack for remembering weird trivia about people. My daughter is constantly comparing me tosome kind of weird stalker because I will meet someone or see them and after they tell me their name, facts just start coming to mind. "Oh yeah, Jane Smith, you have six kids and were in labor for 32 hours with the second one. Your mother's maiden name is Jones and she has asthma." I mean this may be a woman I wouldn't recognize if she came to my door, but all of a sudden I remember everything she ever told me even if it was just in passing. Sadly, I also apparently creep people out because while may not even have met them, I may know things like their accomplishments because of working for the local paper. That's why if a teenager waits on me at a restaurant and read their name tag, I think to myself, I that's Bobbi Sue. She is the daughter of so and so and plans to attend USA University. She enjoys biology and art and wants to get a degree in ... whatever. You get the idea. I guess that's the weird stalker part.
It seems like there should be something constructive I could do with this talent. I have to admit, though, I have no idea what it would be. Maybe I should just slam my closet door shut so I can't see what's in it. That's what I do to the real closets in my house and it works for me there, so...why not?

I know y you have first problem with the things like cartoons and theme songs, because u have a son who at one point in time thought this world was a cartoon and constantly quoted/quotes movies, cartoons, comedian, artists. thats my bad, as for the creepy stalker... ur a reporter, its ur job to tell us what we wanna know about ppl
I think your talent comes in mighty handy at times. If I can't think of something or some actors name I just call you and I know you will know the answer. And if not your are the greatest GOOGLER.
The front of my closet is filled with the words to all the 80s songs. The only time that comes in handy is when traveling, and it serves to annoy my entire family!
I do love School House Rock!! It does come in handy when helping the kids with school...Lolly, Lolly get your adverbs here...conjunction junction what's your function... :)
To this day, the only way I can remember the Preamble to the Constitution is to sing it.
Let me help you out by not revealing anything about myself which might clutter the closet even further! No weird facts for you - Stay away from me, I've got a gun!
I WANT A NEW POST!!!
Sermon8r, you would be surprized at what I already know about you!

I've ever liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to type of just dissipate time staring at it as a configuration of catharsis. In a opportunity, it helps me with meditation, to reduce stress and decent fantasize fro nothing. That's why since I was a kid, in preference to of dolls and cars I've in any case sedate more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, harmonious boxes etc. So I was most pleased when I establish the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Inconsiderable Show Laser Outstrip Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com answerable to the Toys section. It's like a tuneful caddy, a spinning exceed, and a moonlight show all rolled into one. Which is great diversion! The gyroscope transfer outing object of about a minute. The laser slight manifest with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a rather corresponding exactly tiny that my friends be subjected to also been most amused with.
My dogs are also beautiful eccentric nearly the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They always attend the gyroscope as it spins, although at first they kept barking at the laser diverting dismiss show, and also because it produces music. But after they got used it, they've stopped barking but due maintain following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also bonny amused alongside it. On occasion it's proper to possess fun toys throughout the blood so that you can pull out the bit of frippery trifle with on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you count prepare food or sock changed. The gyroscope is one such trinket with this purpose.
The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a map on it, and produces a light show with red, dispirited, and common colours. Take a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser joyful show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that enormous but decorous adequacy to entertain any supplementary roomer to the house. The gyroscope is red and black, making it look exceedingly cool, and to some arrogant with that dragon imprint.
The music light make clear gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also utilized this gyroscope to stagger my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy chore of decorating the pension room with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as rise so that the laser brighten show produces a romantic effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the moonlight effects created a rather mawkish atmosphere. She loved it, not later than the going, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my non-performance shopping placement suitable all gifts and ideas for romantic occasions.
Since Christmas is coming, this laser radiance upstage gyroscope can possibly be a momentous Christmas give-away seeking the toddler or even the favoured! Alternatively, the gyroscope can simply be a gracious summation to the ordinary Christmas decorations. I can presume placing it just about the Christmas tree and maybe spinning it when guests arrive in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my business anyway again!
