As of late I think I am having serious brain loss. This isn't meant to be a , "haha he is so funny post," but more of a serious problem. During several conversations I forget what I am trying to say, or forget the word that I wanted to use. Also within the past year or so, as I read I can remember what I read, but the moment I put the book down, I could not tell you what I read. This even goes for once I finish a book.
I wonder if this is a problem with my short term memory? How do I fix this? Do these things happen to you on a frequent basis? How do you remember things you read or view?
While you think, I love love love this video... I just bought Up on DVD for $6.00 @ Target!

Voice on the Radio, Marie Digby
Early in my childhood I used to listen to a radio station that was meant for kids. "Imagination Station" aka KKDS ruled the airwaves at my house. To me the station was similar to Mary Poppins. As kids the radio kept us doing our chores on Saturday, we would call in and be rewarded for being knowledgeable, and the station put us to bed as it went off the the air around 10 PM.
Much of my personality has resonated from listening:
As all good things do, the station changed formats and eventually floated away as the umbrella shaped airwaves rose into the air
Much of my personality has resonated from listening:
- I learned how to redial into radio stations to win contests, and the best way to call them (Not the local number). I remember answering a trivia question that required me to name all the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... I thought I was cool.
- I learned about Drugs and Alcohol through the D.A.R.E. program that they aired on Tuesday nights. This later made me want to join a high school club that went around to various elementary schools to teach them about the same principles.
- The pop music greatly enhanced my music taste, and has helped me determine what songs have the chance to become a hit.
- I got to see my childhood idol in concert, thanks in part to winning tickets to see Shari Lewis in Concert. Growing up I was obsessed with Lamb Chops Play-Along. It was memorable to see Shari on stage singing and entertaining the crowd. There was the giant Lamb Chop that came on stage and that was somewhat terrifying...
