puppies!

ok, this post isn't really about puppies... i didn't know what to call it, so i went with puppies because i like puppies and they make me happy so HECK YEAH i'm gonna call this post "puppies!" and you can just live with it! ha!

*ahem*

recently, i've been having a lot of trouble sleeping... i lie awake at night and think to myself, 'man, i really wish i could fall asleep right now.' unfortunately, i can't fall asleep because, simultaneous to that thought is ANOTHER THOUGHT: 'i wonder if the DOD has a chart on their website for how much assistance they gave to Timor-Leste from 1999-2005...'

first of all, this proves how much of a nerd i am. um, i can't fall asleep because i'm too busy thinking about what the DOD did in Timor-Leste? moreover, with a timeframe? really? i need a life! but even more interesting (interesting may be a stretch) is the fact that a person can think two entirely different thoughts at the exact same time. and actually, as i was thinking these two thoughts simultaneously, i realized i was doing it and started wondering how that was possible. in a way, it was like right when i was at 'fall asleep' in the first thought and at 'chart on their website' in the second thought, a third thought started: 'how the crap am i thinking so many thoughts at once?'

unfortunately, as soon as i started thinking about my superhuman simultaneous thought abilities, i was wide awake. this was the opposite of what i wanted, but since it was already happening i figured i might as well actively try to have two thoughts at once. fail. it turned into something like this: 'man, i really wish i wonder if the DOD has i could a chart on their website fall asleep for how much assistance they right now gave to Timor-Leste from 1999-2005...'

seems like my superhuman simultaneous thought abilities only work when i don't think about them. otherwise, it's just the same old jibberish that usually occupies my head. but still, it's pretty cool to have superhuman abilities, even if they only appear uninvited when they are least welcome.

sigh.
