Memory

It seems to be a thing with me.

Maybe it's age; maybe it's circumstance ...

... but it seems that whenever I'm far away from a computer, I think up the best blog posts.

But when I finally get to a machine, the thought has gone away.

Of course, some would say that if I knew how to post on my mobile device ... WELL!!! ... then things would be easy right?

If only it were so.

No, it's more than just that. It's the same with music as well. In fact that's how I was able to largely write over the last two years. I did so completely away from a guitar and/or a microphone. It was all done in my head; but the difference between this and blogging, is that I learned to keep a pad of paper and pencil always nearby. I could then write down ideas at-will.

Perhaps if I had a better mobile device and weren't so technologically-inept ....

... and that's perhaps the sad thing. I've been using Information Technology for pretty much my entire work career. Indeed if you asked me in school what I'd be doing when I grew up, using computers wouldn't have been it.

But there you go.

Anyways .... where was I going with this .... oh yes.

So why is it I always come up with the best ideas away from the tools one would normally associate with to say jot down or write down or perhaps run the idea through (i.e. a guitar for music)?

Could it be it's my mind's way of telling me that not consciously think of the ideas, just let them come at their own pace? Or perhaps something else?

Just webnesia I guess.
