Mr. Very Extremely Overactive Imagination. Very Extremely Overactive
Longtime readers might have realized that I’ve got a very overactive imagination. Or maybe you are a longtime reader who was too dense to realize it. Or perhaps I just have kept my overactive imagination tamed. Nevertheless, I’ve got a rather overactive imagination. My mind never stops. I can often times come up with a wild, crazy and funny (or at least I think its funny) story at the drop of a hat, much to the amusement of those who realize I’m making something up, which is usually everybody.
But the other side to that is things I think to myself that are so irrational that they are ridiculously funny. For example, you might have remembered a few months ago that I had an odor emanating from my house. I wrote about how at some point, I thought it might be a snake living in my attic and how the snake was going to come out of the attic through a vent in the ceiling and kill me. I know, totally crazy right? Yet funny. Another irrational paranoia is that when I’m driving through tunnels or over bridges or overpasses it collapses. Certainly possible but not likely that its going to happen at the very minute that I’m driving over it. Last week I was driving home during a tornado warning. I know that sounds bad, but the potential funnel cloud had passed the area I was driving through and instead I had to deal with the rain and lightening. My mind got really going on this one, I was a little worried that lightening would strike a tree or a light post and it would come crashing down on me as I was driving. Again, possible, but very unlikely. That being said, its funny as hell.
I realize most of these thoughts are irrational and ridiculous, but they are at the very least, interesting. Okay so its not interesting to those of you reading it, but it keeps me from getting bored. If nothing else, I’m rarely bored.
