Foggy Head
July 31, 2008, Matthew Good 
Never attempt to edit a post right after you wake up. The save and delete buttons are too close together and if you happen to be staring blankly off into space you don’t realize that you’ve hit the wrong one until it’s all over. That admitted; Roy sent me a great article regarding possible Presidential pardons that inspired said entry, so maybe he’ll link it in the comments (as I forgot to save it). It presented far better information anyway.
Truth be told, I suffer from foggy head quite a bit, which makes most things a bit tricky. For example, it is not unheard of for me to wake up with my laptop sitting on my chest, or somewhere on the bed having slid off my chest. It is also not unheard of for me to completely forget that I own a car, leaving me occasionally wondering how I am going to get somewhere.
This little symbol lets you @ another comment
I hope that is your car.
I think we’re all like that one way or another. I have days like that all the time…
Somedays i’ll be doing something and then stop to figure out what it was I was doing in the first place and why, because I would end up doing something completely different then what I was going to do. If this makes any sense. :(
Yo foggy head, I need a new car, can I borrow yours? I never forget that I need a new car.. Since you’ve forgotten I figure it’s ok. Vancouver is small, I will find you, don’t worry.
I can’t forget my car. The payments keep reminding me. ;-)
I forgot I have to work tomorrow. omfg. I have been sitting on this computer for the past 2 days doing editing for 24 hours a day, and completely forgot I have to tear myself away from here. SHIT.
p.s. thanks for posting a new post. the wolf creek like post had me horrified. one more night and hubby is finally home. And I had just gotten Rod Zombie’s movie out of my head and now this. fffffffff
p.s. is that a studebaker?
You know, come to think of it, I could totally swear I saw you and Bruno diving it the other night…
signed,
stalker t
Jack? I guess I’m so old and senile I think I forgot that you and I drove through park the other night at 900 MPH with the top down wearing head scarfs ala Jackie Kennedy!!! YIKES !!!
Brunooooooooo, so glad you could join us. Don’t forgot to post a new entry on the way out.
I thought you were headed to the studio.. get yo ass going sir.. we are waiting patiently for the new album.
If you need photography services you … don’t.. have my number. hmmmmm,,,,, anyhow.
NIce to see ya
In regards to the presidential pardon entry, which I believe was talking about how Bush would write pardons for everyone in his cabinet and himself just before leaving office, I looked up the following on Wikipedia when someone questioned whether or not Bush can in fact pardon himself, and whether there were any checks on presidential pardons:
“It appears that a pardon can be rejected, and must be affirmatively accepted to be officially recognized by the courts. Acceptance also carries with it an admission of guilt.”
So, if Bush does pardon himself and his cabinet, and the courts accept it, he’s basically telling the world that he knew he was guilty of whatever it is he pardoned himself for. In real terms, he gets off scot-free. In historical terms, he will be judged all that much harsher. And quite frankly, the historical terms are the only real judge once a president leaves office.
So, yeah.
I’ve fallen asleep with my laptop on my chest before. On many occasions. Once it fell on the floor, made a loud crash, and I nearly died after I realized what had happened. Thankfully, my mac is a durable little trooper.
yes, but is yours the size of Mr. Good’s? his is pretty freaking huge.
True, it is pretty huge ;)
Hey, I thought the UPS men are the only ones who have huge packages. Now I know why you chased after him down the street the other day :0
my gray zone always hits while making coffee which MUST be done immed. upon waking. (for the safety of all) I have been known to randomly pour milk into the fridge, put the coffee press in the microwave or dump the ground beans into the dog bowl. It is always a fun surprise, and I usually get a coffee out of it eventually.

I hear ya…
I once brought the whole bodum with me into the shower before I noticed what I was doing.
My best friend had an old truck version of that car. It was green and we called it the “Frog” or “Bessie.” When we got bored, we would put gorilla masks on and drive around town, pull up at a red light and laugh our asses off at peoples expressions. Thank God the long-term memory stays intact, because we always say we are going to laugh our asses right off our rocking chairs when we get old and senile. LOL!!
As long as you don’t get the foggy head while you’re actually driving the car, things should be ok. Save/delete, break/gas, same problem, worse results. This is the reason why I walk to work.

K, I lied, this is the most I’ve laughed today.
Can you tell I miss hubby?
Jane, you’re in for a real treat.
I’m buying you season one of Matlock
Aw, thanks Dan….. you’re so sweet.
Jane, it’s the biggest one they got, I swear.
I think it is 40 inches.

In for a treat? I hope so. What with decapitation experts I’d better watch where I sit on the bus. Shit. And I’ll be alone…So, I can see a very lonely / hungry / dry weekend sitting in a hotel room, waiting…I think I will ask Matt if I can dog walk with him :0)
Let us know when you’re coming Jane. I think enough of us will come out of hiding so that you’re not so alone.

That’s so sweet!!! Well…I am waiting for confirmation of some dates, so I’ll let you know. And here’s me thinking the Kingston gig was the best night of my life… ;0)
[Sorry Matt...veering off-topic now]
After reading through the comments, I forgot what the topic was!
What was it again?

He must, it’s the size of the apartment.
(please note, I do not know what I’m talking about, it’s late, and I don’t know the exact measurements of Matthew Good’s house)

Oh my god, you are making us all jealous, Jane!!!! You are one lucky gal…… p.s. what bus? You will be sitting on a bus? You mean, you won’t get to go to the apartment where the boom boom occurs?
wait!
um..
right, how are the boom boomers upstairs?
Jane, yes, so true… let us know when you will be in town.
I’m the best stalker this town has to offer..
Here you go sleepyhead…

matt you wouldnt happen to have a wall paper size copy of that picture kickin around anywhere?
I hear you my good man…I just got home from work, and for the second night in a row, I did overtime - and then the taxi driver’s both nights decided to confuse me big time by greeting me with “Good Morning” as soon as I step into the cab.
Appearently it’s now August…I’m still back a good few days into July.
PS: I wouldn’t dare fall asleep with my computer on my bed. I’d be asking for it.
Quoting MG: “For example, it is not unheard of for me to wake up with my laptop sitting on my chest, or somewhere on the bed having slid off my chest. It is also not unheard of for me to completely forget that I own a car, leaving me occasionally wondering how I am going to get somewhere.”
Oh, so let’s hope it’s not a beginning Alzheimer.
Rather than having the delete button actually delete the post, you should add another field to the database and just set a flag to make it not visible. That way, even though no one can access it, it’s still stored on the server.
man, after reading through the comments - the size thing was REALLY distracting ;) - I’ve forgotten what I was going to say.
Something about coffee, no grounds, and I don’t even drink it. I get distracted very easily, and very brain-foggy. I’ve forgotten my own birthday even. (yes, I’m actually a.d.d.)
I’m A.d.d. big time, unless we are talking about something interesting like this thread.
I want a Mac. Has anyone heard of this new program by MAC called Apperture… any thoughts on it? I just wanna edit photo’s the best way possible and am still foggy on this part of photography (I love taking the pix, no clue how to edit them properly)…
speaking of foggy…

Once again…all roads lead to sex. Either we’re a terribly frustrated bunch or…..ya, I better not go there.
I just love the tangential nature of the posts….it’s good to be silly!!
Love the bodum in the shower story. Weirdest thing I did was drive home after a night shift….to a place I hadn’t lived at for several years. Only realized it as I was pulling up out front…WTF? I don’t live here anymore! (and not for about 4 yrs). Bizarre, thank God some semblance of consciousness kicked in before I tried the front door!

I fully agree, my mind has taken up permanent residence in the gutter.
Oh my…
Sometimes the drugs make it worse.

I have lived with my mind in the gutter for a long time. You get used to it. Although its rough when your man asks you: Is all you want me for is sex? and I answer: Umm yea. Duh… Your my Lloyd Dobler!
I just occasionaly dust off my lady like parts of the mind and act like im normal.. well wickedly normal.
And for the record, 17inches is to painful.. I opt for a 15 instead.. its easier on the eyes. *snicker*
Bah ha ha! You’re a sick bunch - is good, no? On the subject of fog, I have come to accept that less than lucid mornings are my fate. More sleep, less sleep, more coffee, wake and bake (that DEFINITELY doesn’t work, but it’s fun with friends) nothing seems to abate this state. I have always thought that morning should be outlawed…..

“It is also not unheard of for me to completely forget that I own a car, leaving me occasionally wondering how I am going to get somewhere”
All the sexual innuendo aside, this was fucking hillarious to me!
No T-Lee, Matt is not going to give you your own sidebar in the next redesign…. 15 of the first 45 comments, sheesh :P
quoting proxy: “No T-Lee, Matt is not going to give you your own sidebar in the next redesign…. 15 of the first 45 comments, sheesh :P”
That was harsh…and not necessary. You want to be the blog police - go to China.
Aw, you guys are sweeet… Thanks Brian, although I think Proxy was being funny?
I did laugh..
Me get a sidebar? That would be AWESOME…
Although; Proxy I have been sitting on my ass doing nothing but bloggin and commenting on blogs for 2 weeks… My kid doesn’t eat dinner, hubby’s been away, no salad making for two weeks. I got lazy and fat… so who wins? YEAH, NOT ME.
