Ever wonder why some days you simply can’t think straight. Or perhaps a coherent sentence is difficult to come by. Burt Prelutsky has some thoughts on why this might be happening.

What got me thinking about this was my realization that my own brain is jam-packed with garbage. Worse yet, I have no idea how it got there. It’s almost as if strangers, instead of tossing out their junk or donating it to Goodwill, have been sneaking their trash into my house and stowing it in my attic until they decide what to do with it.

I realize this must strike some of you as the ramblings of a raving paranoiac. But if you’re all so smart, tell me how it is that even though I make it a point not to watch tabloid TV or read the tabloid press, I know a ton of tabloid names. Now, understand I have never watched The View, American Idol, so-called reality shows, MTV, the Jimmy Kimmel Show or Greta Van Susteren — and have not tuned in Leno or Letterman in at least 10 years — and yet I know who Howard K. Stern is. And please explain why I know all kinds of nonsense about about Simon Cowell, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell.

At least we know we are not alone!

   You know, that’s really true! I seldom turn on the TV and yet I know all about the scandals in celebrity-land. I get the names mixed up like the girl who shaved her head, I called Brook Shields, and my hairdresser told me it was Britney Spears. That’s weird!

   Yeah, how come we know all about these guys and don’t even keep up with it? Good post. Thought provoking.
