Journal – Brain overdose
An average day PMSing:
I have doubted my bread consumption, worried about getting bunion surgery, worried about my vaccines, doubted the entire medical field, worried about calories, tried to figure what the hell it is about butyrate, worried about Huntington’s, worried about my sister quitting sugar, grown frustrated at the lack of substance to online research, researched online how people research online, hated on the fallibility of the media, hated on food trends, hated on trend haters, considered joining a gym, considered buying a weight set, considered cycling to work and abandoned the concept for the millionth time, bashed myself for abandoning the concept of cycling to work, worried about the poorly maintained areas in my house, worried about the quality of my writing, worried about whether I’ll finish my comic… of course this is the hyper-condensed version, and all within the space of a few hours.
Do you see why I love meditation? I can’t believe lots of normal people go through life thinking like this every day. I can see it in their eyes. They’re always on high alert, waiting for reality to pounce.
I’d like to trade in my higher brain for nothing. Just leave it hollow. We only need a primitive brainstem to function anyway. Lizard smiles from me to you!

LOL, fortunately it’s not an everyday thing for me. More often than not I manage to maintain a pretty consistent lizard brain.

Haha, they’re wonderful in times of stress, but they’re not great when life calls for such complex tasks as driving to a new location or filling out a spreadsheet…
Godzilla, king of the lizard brains!

i love the idea of lizard brains. i wrote a comic about it once.
but it was an evil lizard brain.
one that would add to the list of neurosis rather than rescue from it.
i enjoyed this peak inside your head 🙂

Lizards are great at being evil too, because they just don’t give a hiss about their own actions.
You mentioned a comic? But gave me no link???

That was kind of hard to find! You have some really cool stuff tucked away in there. Maybe you could split them up and put them on separate pages to make them easier to read and search? I don’t know, WordPress is crappy for displaying comics…
Your lizard brain is such a mean sonuvabitch! Damn voices.
In case anyone else wants to see:

i realized that when i went to find it for you. i guess i just thought not too many people would be looking & just wanted to make it as uncluttered as i could.
thank you for reading it! i sometimes think of continuing it. or trying another approach to it. (less exposed brain matter)

If you treat your work like nobody will be looking, you’re making a self-fulfilling prophesy! It deserves attention. 🙂

i really was trying to streamline–i didn’t mean to hide it. if i could just find a website design artist who would work for free….

No kidding. WordPress’s editor SUCKS for comics! I’m probably going to have to find/make a different site to post my next one.
