Silly me
Lunch was really good. Some kind of ramen variation. I will definitely go back again.
Work finished early. It was actually still bright when I left. I got to my station and skipped down the road feeling elated. I was feeling happy and lucky so I decided to play the slots. I walked up to the nearest vending machine and put my fingers in the slot and wiggled it around. Nothing, nada, empty. Oh well, that’s gambling for you. The odds of winning are always stacked against you. The odds of someone buying something from a machine, forgetting their change, and you being at the right place at the right time to capitalize are really low…
I walked into my house and there was a weird smell. What the..? Something smelled pretty foul. A dead rat? Well I certainly hope not!
It was coming from the bin area. I walked over and took a look. Mental note to self, “You don’t have to wait for the bin to start literally overflowing before you throw it out..”
I live on the 8th floor. I had just got in and really couldn’t be bothered to go all the way back down to throw it out. I tied it up and left it by the door so I would not forget to throw it out on the way out the next day. You see I am kind of forgetful. I would say my long term and mid-term. But my short and super short term memory is pretty awful. Does this make any sense? I don’t really know the scientific terms for the types of memory.
For example, since I live alone I normally just chill by myself and think about stuff. Have you ever been by yourself thinking about/remembering something so awesome that you are on the verge of cracking a smile even though you are all by yourself?
What I hate is when I am thinking about something awesome and feeling happy then the phone goes off or I hear a noise, and then bang the thing I was thinking about literally 1 second ago is gone. I can’t remember what I was thinking about that was making me feel all happy and shit. I have spent anything from a few minutes to a few days trying to remember what I was thinking about.
Why does this happen so often? And how can it be prevented? I guess it is what is called “losing your train of thought”? It might be worth looking into.
Anyway back to the story. So I leave for work the next day. Have a shitty day at work. Get home late. Open the front door and trip over and hit my head on the floor. I look behind me and see the bin from last night. I left it at the front door so that I wouldn’t forget to throw it out. How did I somehow manage to walk past it and not throw it out??
Oh yeah thanks Rachel. I went on Amazon today and they had a campaign saying that if I order within 22 minutes I can get Derren Brown’s book on the same day of ordering. I am going to try get off work early today so I can be there when delivery dude comes

You really are a bit of a daydreamer sometimes, aren’t you? Very amusing story ^^

I propose an electric shock collar connected via bluetooth to your phone. Enter your to-dos in the phone calendar, if you don’t do them, it shocks you.

@Nino
lol i have a pretty weird imagination
Glad you are amused sir!
@Michael Flux
lol thats what they do to animals right? Like they do experiments and punish the animals when they do a certain thing to get them to stop doing it. lol it might just work…

The question is… have you taken the bin out yet? Nice blog
June 8th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Prometheus you totally made me laugh.
I hope work is going good and that it was just one shitty day there today.
My husband and son both suffer from thinking the garbage has to be overflowing before they will throw it out.
Love Renee xooo

I agree with Michael. An electric shock might just do the trick. LOL
Or getting a live-in girlfriend or wife can do wonders too.
June 9th, 2009 at 12:04 am
@lina - Or a clean live-in boyfriend if mister P swings that way :p Not all guys are pigs ^_^
June 9th, 2009 at 12:18 am
hilarious
I hope you managed to through it out right away this time right?
June 9th, 2009 at 4:58 am
The bin is still there isn’t it? You need Post-it notes. Or a maid
June 9th, 2009 at 10:31 am
@Large
Thanks for passing through. I took it out lol
@Renee Khan
hehe glad that you found it funny. I think the bin thing is wired into mens dna lol
@lina
hmm good idea. I should get gf to move in to tidy up haha.
@Michael Flux
Never that sir!
@Jamaipanese
Yah I finally threw it out lol. The bag ripped open when i tripped on it though..
@Dutch Donut Girl
The funny thing is I was actually researching how much a maid would cost in Japan.. Should be relatively cheap I hope..
June 9th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
@Prometheus - Oh shitcakes! If you’re looking for that, hire me! As long as you get me a work visa, I’d clean your shit for free ^_^
June 10th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
@Prometheus,
I wasn’t thinking of gf to do the cleaning for you, rather I was thinking she’d be the nagging mechanism to snap you out of your daydreaming. LOL
June 10th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
Oh wow, you got the book?! That’s awesome. I hope you like it. There’s about two actual tricks in that book, but a lot of cool stuff too.
That food looks yummy.
June 11th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Thanks for the useful info. It’s so interesting
June 11th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
I’m forgetful as heck, too. I feel your pain.
June 12th, 2009 at 1:20 am
I do the same thing with garbage. Instead of tripping over it, I get nagged until I do it.
June 12th, 2009 at 11:56 am
If you find your train of thought, please let me know. Maybe mine’s with it.
Hope your head is better and the bin is empty.
June 13th, 2009 at 5:53 am
Weekend is upon us. Any plans.
xoxoxo
June 13th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
I grin to myself all the time, even when I’m alone on the train to school or something. My mind gets vivid images, really! Then I’ll pretend to cough or something, to cover my smile. Geez.
June 16th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
@lina
The more I am nagged the more lazy I become lol..
@Rachel
BOok is awesome. We need to speak in detail about it sometime!
@BadAss Geek
You should write a blog called “In which I forget”
@sixmats
Hehe that why I dread marriage lol
@Joanna Jenkins
Well the bin has been thrown out LOL..
@Renee Khan
I went bowling friday night, partying saturday night, and outback on sunday lol
@nashe
Is it a happy grin or an ebil grin?
June 17th, 2009 at 7:35 am
I used to bowl like that all the time. Then I got worse.
July 16th, 2009 at 12:36 am
@Prometheus I might just accept your offer
