Don't you hate it when..... Regardless of topic.....
October 19, 2017 at 2:46 pm
I hate it when, I am on the verge of any "DING DING DING" thought, and a slight distraction throws me off and I lose that thought. I get most frustrated with MYSELF when it comes to writing a poem. I've actually written poems on my computer, gotten to the point of "submit" and hit the wrong key/button and lost the entire fucking thing.
But I have had the same thing happen with debating politics or religion. A phone ringing, my cat meowing. Kinda like a pro basketball player at the free throw line getting distracted by the fans waving and screaming. Like an NFL kicker getting iced by a time out.
I HATE THAT SHIT.
I am not saying I have a unified theory of everything, I don't. I just hate that feeling of losing the "A HA" moment.

I hate it when regardless of topic someone comes in and tries to make it about Trump. Sorry, not sorry.

What makes you think it's not about Trump?

Kinda hard not to when he himself shits on everything. Who has more power him or me? I do right? I have control over the nukes right? I called Mexicans rapists right? I shit on the service of McCain right?
Damn, you got me.
Maybe if he would NOT make everything about himself as a SITTING POWER, he wouldn't be such a big and DESERVING target.

It's not always about trump.
Sometimes it's about gun laws. :-)

I didn't bring either up in my OP, someone else did.
But yea, sure I am raising a stink about both because both are causing problems in America and I live here.
No, not sorry one bit about bringing up either.
45 is unfit, and we have a minority of gun worshipers holding our nation hostage.

Brian, open a file, save it, and do your writing on that. Then if you hit "close" accidentally the program will ask if you want to save changes. Safety net. I don't write long posts directly onto the 'net. Mostly because my cats seem determined to get co-author credit.

It does not matter if I do it in a word processor or directly here, I have gotten distracted in both and lost it in both. It happens sometimes.
But my OP wasn't about even that. It was about having a thought in my head, then something, TV, noise outside, cat, phone, suddenly jar me, and I lose that thought.
I do have ADD. I've actually forgot to put take my goods out of my shopping cart, drove 5 miles home to discover I left them at the store. That is what I am talking about, but with a thought in my head. I can lose it quickly.
Same thing can be said when you are in the middle of telling a long joke, something distracts you, and you lose your place, or forget the punchline. That is what I am talking about.
