A How To: How to think memorable thoughts


Has anyone been having trouble with memory? I know I used to, but not anymore. With these quick and easy steps every thought will be a memorable one.

First, when thinking memorable thoughts you want to first think. I'm going to give the reader some time to think of something, it could be a question, such as, "Why are cats terrible pets?" or even an unrealistic daydream that includes you, a beach, and someone of the opposite or same sex. Do you have that thought? Good. Now, I want the reader to take that thought and describe it. Yes, describing the thought outloud would be best. Don't worry if there are other people around, if they don't like you for you, well then they weren't going to be your friend anyways. Okay, after you describe the thought you had, there will be two options to choose from. If your thought was a question or statement then you are catagory A. If your thought was a daydream, a memory, or something similar then you are catagory B.

Catagory A:
This is a very important step. This step will allow you to take your thought and remember it for at least a month. I want you to take the question or statement you asked yourself and imagine The Larry King Show. I want you to make Larry King ask your question directly to the camera in a very angery manner. Now, I am sure that this image of Larry King asking your question will haunt you for at least a month.

Catagory B:
Like I said for catagory A, this is a very important step. This step will allow you to remember your thought for at least a month. Listen carefully, you need to take your thought and concentrate on it very specifically. Now, merge that thought into the movie Men in Black with Will Smith. It can be any part, most preferably your favorite part, such as when Will Smith is smashing the roaches with his feet to distract the bug from getting on the spaceship. Imagine your day dream conforming with the movie. By doing this you are going to intricate one of the most memorable movies and your daydream. Everytime you remember Men in Black you will also remember your thought.

By reading this and acting out these specific directions I hope you, reader, know exactly how to think memorable thoughts. If, for some reason, these tactics do not help you to think more memorable thoughts, at least I know that you will remember this ridiculous "how to" guide to remembering memorable thoughts, and that's all I really care about. If you have any questions or comments or are upset about this post, which I imagine you must be, then please post comments at http://sorryaddressunavailable.blogspot.com/.
