If You Forget, Does It Go Away?

Forgetfulness. It get's the best of us.

Ok not everyone, but ME especially! I forgot I had this blog. I forgot I needed to update it. I forgot that I was leaving all of my precious followers (all 1 of them) without anything to pass the time with.

So first we shall ponder the age old question..... If you forget, does it go away?

Side A: (like a cassette tape)

Yes, it goes away. Because in your mind, your little slice of the world, you have dismissed the thing, thought, image, event away from you and have forgotten about it. Not until it is reintroduced to you will you remember it, and therefore it comes back into your life. If something comes back, it had to have gone away in the first place. Ok. Kind of a stretch, but you see my logic here.

Side B:

No, it is always there with you. Sure you may not have it top of mind, but it's stored away in your brain waiting for it's turn to surface. I think of the brain as geese. Why? Because of the pattern they fly - the flying V. When the front bird gets tired, he rotates to the back of the flock in the air, giving some other bird the duty of head/tip bird. Then as the birds continue to rotate, the original tip bird will end up back in front again. He is still part of the V, even though he's not at the front. Or in other words, not top of mind.

Ok that argument is done.

Now - some news!!! My friend Raggidy is coming into town tonight! Wooo! Everyone here has been super siked for his arrival. I wonder if I moved away if people would still be excited for me to come back into town... hummmm. haha. Anyway, we have so many plans from lunches, to dinners, to movies, to games, to more movies, to more games, to chatting, to biking and everything in between. Poor Raggidy is on a schedule for his visit, but at least he'll get to see everyone!

I'll blog about the rediculosness that ensues! Just you wait. I totally can't!

I also want to blog about the OSU Buckeye Football season - or my take on it (as I'm totally not a professional and I don't have the time to keep track of stats). The season opener is this Saturday at 12:00 PM EST against Navy. Dust off your jerseys, and stretch your arms for some O-H-I-O-ing! GO BUCKS!
