[b]Lost Abstraction[/b]

Write it down before
[i]Poof![/i]
it disappears.

“I had so many –
What happened?”

They left, feeling unappreciated and
vain.

One pops in my head:
“Oh man, this is one is IT”
So I write it out, the full thing, in my head and
smile.
[i]Put it down on paper.[/i] I will,
later.

Later I forget – I don’t forget but put it off for later
still.

[i]Who do you think you are?[/i]

I finally sit and try to remember:

“I had so many –
Where did they go?”

I let them get away and end
up with THIS – bleh.

Someone once told me that the really great ones don’t get
away. They get ready for you and the world in the back
of your head. He was a good man but also a
liar.

That's why you always carry something to write with wherever you go. :p

I suppose I had one of those influxes of thoughts last night, but I was in front of the computer, so...yay for notepad.

Step 1: Get a PDA
Step 2: USE IT
Step 3: Profit.

Carry a sharpie around with you at all times and be a walking tattoo of ideas!

It shows your macho-ness and your sensitive side. The ladies will dig it, I'm sure.

It would be easier to have a small notepad you can fit in your pocket. Ink looks ugly, and can stain.
