Sometimes (okay... most of the time) my brain is on recess. But after hanging out at the monkey bars or the swings, it doesn't clock back in. Instead it's kicking the kickball as far as possible. Or getting pushed around the field by a bully. But most of the time it's always asking itself seriously deep, irresponsible questions that have nothing to do with fun, tasks at hand, or anything for that matter.
I asked my brain, "Harold (yes. my brain has a name. and it's Harold. not Harry-for-short. Harold), would it be okay if I shared some of the obscure questions you ask almost daily?" He figures it'll be okay. So. Proceed?
How long could I tread water for before I completely gave up and let myself drown?
Where did I exist before I was born?
Or did I exist?
If I did exist before I was born, can I remember it if I try really, extremely hard?
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood?
When I spank the step dog after he pees in the house, does he really know what's going on?
Or. How do dogs have thought processes? It can't be like humans because our thoughts are done through words, as if we're speaking to ourself in our heads. You know. Thoughts. Well. Since dogs don't speak words (they only bark), do they bark in their own heads in order to create thoughts. For example: if a dog wants to think it's hungry, it can't say in its mind those words. I think it can have the feeling of hunger. But then does it think it wishes it had some food. And then, to do all this thinking, does the dog hear barking in its head. The same goes for all animals. Or living creatures for that matter.
How come when I pee in my dreams I don't pee in real life? Yet, in my dream, I feel relief.
And then, can you really feel things in your dreams? Sometimes I think I do feel things while dreaming.
Why did cats get so lucky to get nine lives?
Why don't dogs get anything special?
Or is it because dogs get to be man's best friend?
Do we really have soulmates?
Would my dog attack someone if they were hurting me?
If I kept asking questions, would people really keep reading them?
Or, better yet, has anyone even read this far?
you could probably tread water for about 6 hours in the ocean and probably about 8 in still water.
don't know if you existed before birth but before you break too many brain cells trying, try remembering something a little more recent. Like being born.
not sure about the wood or the chuck.
Most dogs will know what they are being scolded about if you show them what they did within 20 minutes of the incident.
The next long winded paragraph is about cognitive thought. Humans have it and most if not all animals don't (not sure about chimps or porpoises). Asking questions like the ones above proves that you have it.
when i pee in my dream or drink water. I keep trying to go in my dream.
I have the same sensation of feeling things in my dreams but can't explain the phenomenon.
cats don't have nine lives. They have one.
not sure on the dog questions.
not sure on the soul mate question.
dogs will often protect their masters. but i wouldn't rely on it.
probably.
yes.
Yes Kevin, some people did read all of Harold's (can you say mindless about a mind's content) stuff. Mostly to see if you got any of my thoughts down on accident. You didn't. Have fun at recess.
