One thing that always amazes me is the little things that a girl can remember no matter how insignificant and when they get mad at me for not remembering it. I can't even remember what I did today or an hour ago for that matter. A woman however, can tell you that at 5:47pm on January 23rd, I was sitting at my desk working on a variance report when something that looked funny made me scratch my head with my right arm and momentarily glance at the ceiling for 2.7 seconds. And I was wearing argyle socks. I can't even remember what was said that made me want to write this post, but two people today brought up something that I said (sober, mind you) at some point in the past that I don't remember saying but they seem to be holding on to for just that moment when I might say something to the contrary. Girlfriends, especially, seem to have this stenotype in their head that is recording everything about me. I have a little guy in my head that is constantly yelling, "Strike that from the record!" And thus these conversations I've apparently had in the past are news to me. But then people look at me like, "Oh look at him, he's so insensitive! She said something once in a whisper during a loud concert while he had earplugs in his ears, but he can't remember that." Or "He can't remember that one time she implied something about someone though she never really made it very clear what the hell she was talking about." All I'm saying is that if you want me to remember something, you have to say, "hey, remember this." Then have me write it down or take a picture. I drink a lot. It's hard to remember stuff. Whatever. I don't even know where I'm going with this or even if I've made the point I was trying to make. I can't remember what the point was. Sorry.
