Conversations With Myself

Ha!!

I admitted to my wife that I do this and she hasn’t stopped making fun of me for it. And I mean: entire imaginary conversations (but nothing crazy) :)

If nothing else, I definately feel less weird now (if only a little).

Other hypothetical reactions to this post:
1. “whoa! whatever, dude.”
2. “did we really need to know this, josh?”
3. “didn’t I read about this somewhere?”
4. “huh. my psych 101 prof said…”
5. “these creative guys are alittle weird” (ok, that’s basically a repeat of your hypothetical reaction)
6. “…AAAND I work with this guy”
7. “josh, honey, mommy doesn’t think you should blog for alittle while”
8. “so anyway, how’d you get those dope vertical tabs?”
9. “you know, that’s very creative. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.”
10. “hey, what if I come up with a top 10 list of hypothetical reactions to this post. that’d be great!” (or not)

LOL…What have you guys been smoking lately? haha, j/k…I think we are all guilty of this, but the question is…is this what you expected my reply would be? Also, have these conversations ever ended up playing out like you imagined, or do they usually end up a different way?

For the most part, they ALWAYS end up differently. However, every now and again something happens just how I imagined it would… which gives me a weird little sensation of deja vu.

I gotta go with Bainbridge on this. Everyone does this to some extent. Honestly, it’s not uncommon for people to have conversations with themselves outloud. There is an old saying that says “talking to yourself is a sign of genius, answering is a sign of insanity.” As long as you don’t start blurring the lines of reality, who cares if you talk to yourself. Oh, and I get deja vu all the time, but it’s usually because of dreams.

haha I do this whenever Im in the shower. Sometimes I’ll think about something and get REALLY into it, like an imaginary argument with my friend’s girlfriend and I’ll get so caught up that I don’t even realize my lips moving and making all sorts of retarded looking faces, haha.

Is this something I should be exposing on the internet?

Also, one hot summer many years back I worked in a sock factory in the east end of town. It was the absolute worst job in the entire world. I wont describe it because I’m about to make dinner and watch a movie and I just have too many things to say, but I basically spent 12 hours a day packing SOCKS in the back of an overheated warehouse with a bunch of mexican immigrants who didn’t speak a word of English. I used to stack boxes into piles inbetween aisles of inventory so that Id be hidden among the rows of shelves and sit in a box of socks with a pen and paper in my hand just incase a manager walked by and caught me. I could scrunch my eyebrows and look up at the shelves with the pen in hand and pretend as though I were doing something important. But really I’d just sit there and play out these imaginary scenarios in my head. I’d literally do this for hours on end. Like I’d pretend it was the weekend and I was downtown and I’d bump into some girl on the street and have long conversations, or a friend I hadn’t seen in a while, etc. Anyways, time for dinner…
