Getting old

I once said to an old friend of mine that we all suffer from a terminal illness that has no cure and that disease is simply called.....Aging. Well it would have a cure if you can find the fabled fountain of youth, but unfortunately no one has ever survived the journey in search of one. Or at least they never found the way back. Anyways there are lots of symptoms that come along with this illness, one of the more common symptoms is known as forgetfulness. Now what does that have to do with me getting old...Well simply put i'm getting forgetful, take for instance that i was suppose to update my links on my blog, do you see it being updated??? Noooooo....and why is that? Well i forgot la thats why!!! And its not that i chose to forget it or anything like that its simply because i really forgot. Obviously this has occured many many times, and its really starting to bother me.

Throughout the day i have actually many many ideas of what to blog about, like things that made me laugh or some silly topic that my friends and i were discussing about and shit like that. But when time comes to blog i forget everything i was about to talk about, and there goes another great post...well at least thats what i always think to myself. I'm sure that i'm not the only one that has this problem though, or am i??? Anyway i was reading in an article somewhere sometime ago that humans don't actually forget...apparently our brain is like some highway, where the memories are stored at a 'Destination' and there are many 'Roads' that lead towards that destination. We tend to forget things due to many factors such as stress....so having stress is like having one of those 'Roads' blocked (for road works or something i dunno). But seriously la how can i be having stress....i mean i don't do anything all day so where the hell does the stress come in?

Have you guys seen those memory max thingy the used to advertise on the tv? Supposedly boosts your memory capacity or some shit like that...do those work? I so doubt it does, i mean think about it, if it did probably everyone in this whole damn world would have like photographic memory already. Honestly its a curse, cause you remember all the really really sucky stuff as well. But i think it'd be really cool in some ways la...like you can memorise the entire text book and score with flying colors in the exam, hahahaha....Yeah right as if thats gonna happen. But yeah, i think i need to figure out how to remember to get things done cause its really really bothersome when you are reminded to do something but suddenly there is so little time to do it. Writing things down doesn't really help either cause then you'd be stuck with so much paper that you won't can't tell apart whats a note a money anymore, hahahaha. You guys got any idea on how to resolve this issue?
