Red Light?

Dry spell...that's what I feel like I'm in. And no, you dirty monkeys, not that kind of dry spell although...well, that's just a whole other subject. No, I mean a witty dry spell. A cognitive presence kind of a dry spell. Not sure where my mind has been lately but it's as if it took a little vacation and left me a note saying "Don't even try to look for me. I'll be back when I'm damn good and ready to come back". What a jerk. Jerky brain.

I can't seem to focus. On anything. For any length of time. It's just getting ridiculous. For example...

I ran a red light the other day. And not like "Oh, hey. That light is going to turn red". Nope. More like, "Oh, hey. That's light has been red for a minute or so. What does red mean again? Go? Slow? No. That's not it. Geez. It's right there on the tip of my tongue. Hm. Oh, my phone is ringing. I should answer that. Dang, where is my purse? Did I put it in the front seat or the back seat? Hey, sounds like someone is saying something. I'm hearing 'red light, stop, red light, stop, red light, stop'. Wait a second...red means...almost got it...red means...stop! Stop! Oh crap! Well, might as well commit to the law breaking". And I just cruised right through it. Meanwhile, my two passengers are an equal measure of amused and horrified. My response? Eh. We're fine. What's all the hullabaloo about?

I'm kind of freaking myself out. It's almost as if I'm on some type of mood enhancer because of my semi-loopy and oblivious tendencies at the moment. Has my new found peace given me a form of neurosis? If so, isn't that just more proof that life is the ultimate irony? Happiness gives you neurosis. So then that would mean that unhappiness gives you clarity?

Eh.

...Dirty monkeys. Enough philosophy tonight. I think I just blew my own mind...wherever it may be.
