I Remember Nothing

Posted on 8:04 AM by Unknown
I'm all excited. One of my favorite new shows is called "Unforgettable" about a lady cop who remembers EVERYTHING.  The reason I'm excited is because Marilu Henner (remember her in Taxi?) is one of six people in the world that actually do remember every second of every day of her life.  Not like photographic memory where you remember scenes but these six people remember exactly the feelings, smells just like they are living that moment AGAIN and they can remember EVERY SECOND.  It's called hyperthymesia, superior autobiographical memory.

The weird thing is that they created the show and did not know that the condition actually existed!   Henner said she knew she could remember EVERYTHING when she was six but was not until she was 18 that she out out no one else had this condition.

It's amazing.

In an interview they were asked how it's done and they all said that it was like they would access a hard drive in their brain and replay it.  One interviewer asked  "what happened March 4th 1980" and they would go. "March 4th, 1980, it was a Friday, partly cloudy" (they ALWAYS said what day of the week) and then they would describe the day in detail.

ANYWAY - Marilu will co star on an episode and I find that so cool. A real superpower.   Funny thing is that Marilu plays a woman with alzheimer's.

DJ and I went to see the movie "Tower Heist" which was a pretty funny.

Remember - looking for a daily good photo? Go to Rods new photo blog where I put up a new shot every day (almost)! No really - I'm trying - this makes me work and increases my skills every day . . . and I'm HOT BABY!!!

This is today's newest photo.

I was watching this whole Penn State thing and people were all confused about Joe Paterno and like how he could not to anything wrong and all that.  The thing is that we only know coaches because they are only coaches.  Not a CLUE what there are really like. We don't know McCarthy or Bielema or really anybody so we can't say how there moral compass actually is.

On a different subject - Tim Tebow - the guy is AWESOME - he only has to complete 2 passes for a victory - much betetr then Rogers who needs to complete like 30 every game.

Packer defense - do we miss Collins any?  YOU BET!!    Remember last year when people would say - think how good the Packer offense would be if they had all their weapons.  WELL?  here you are!!  Pretty damn good.  

The Packers will fly 10,510 miles this year and at the moment their opponents are 130-126, so the schedule is neither hard nor soft.  
---------------------------------------

OK - nuff said for one day

Cheers

Go Packers!
