Living Inside My Brain There Is Another Brain That Is A Moron

I’d settle for a Sassy Gay Friend

My moron brain routinely screws up my medication, even though I’ve been taking the same meds for years and have the mother of all pill boxes.

1. Open box
2. Take pills

How hard can this possibly be?

My moron brain did this all the time. Finally I taped a note to my front door which says “DID YOU TAKE YOUR PILLS???” Seems to work.

My moron brain thinks it’s a great idea to read “The Straight Dope” at work instead of, you know, getting work done.

I have a similar, but slightly different problem, in that I have a lazy brain instead of a moron brain.

I have the lazy brain in a different way. I will put off things to the last minute and be late for well, everything. I get caught up in random things on my way out the door like have I forgot anything? Are the lights out, well may as well throw in a load of laundry. I get out the door start the car and have to go back inside because I forgot my lunch. I don’t know why I get side tracked so easy? Or is it I have no sense of time? I can be on time but it takes everything in me to do this so I don’t like to do it too often. I feel odd being early?

Comedian Dana Gould once commented that he wished there was an opera singer who lived in his closet who could come out and sing, ‘‘Mistaaaaaaaaake!’’ right before he did something stupid.

Wouldn’t that be nice? I could really benefit from Mistake Guy.

I would so hire myself out to do that, except the Bad Idea Bear just said we should sit and watch, maybe eat some popcorn, because that would be more entertaining.

Stupid bear.

My moron brain does this to me all the time. It always convinces me that I can write one more email before leaving; if I actually drop everything and try to leave, my moron brain makes me forget 4 things before I actually get out of the door for good.

I also have a lazy brain.

And my moron brain likes to take over my motor functions, too, resulting in constant bruising. My adult brain steps in to scream “this is going to hurt”, but it’s always too late to keep me from running into tables, hitting my head on the desk when I bend over to pick up something I dropped, etc.

I like to call my moron brain the Bad Idea Bear, from Avenue Q.

Recently, the Bad Idea Bear told me that if the leftover chocolate chips were too tempting, I should just eat them all at once to get rid of them.

So, did you listen?

My moron brain doesn’t let go of things. It continually reminds me of a random selection of mistakes and errors that I have made, not necessarily recently even.

Mine too. I will constantly relive the embarrassments of blunders from 20 or 30 years ago. It’s tiring.

In my first year of university I lived in the student residence. My roommate thought it was funny that on my mirror I had a note that said: “Brush teeth, then lipstick.”
