Peculiar Bodily Occurences
i bent over slightly to reach the tiny button on the TV to press POWER (the remote control batteries died) . i heard 'click' and the screen illuminated into the scene of some field reporter covering the search for fallen debris from the shuttle explosion. with my head close to the screen, i felt a few strands of my hair go up. static i thought. curious, i stayed in that position for a moment and tripped on the sight of my petrified bangs standing on end. stupid.
i begin to think of other peculiar bodily occurences that don't normally warrant a second thought. like brain freeze. do you ever wonder why there are times when you drink a glass of cold water and you suddenly feel a sharp stab of pain burning in the triangle space between the two points of your eyebrows down to the upper part of your nose? if you don't, forget that i even asked. why an innocent glass of water, if you drink it wrong, brings about that icy hot blast of pain is something i'll never understand. what about stubbed toes? do you ever wonder why it had to happen to you when it happens? it is so stupid, so painful, so quick and uncalled for that before you are done hopping like an automated pogo stick, the excruciating pain that you swear to have been there a just a while ago is gone. did you just imagine that pain?
sneezing. do you ever wonder why it actually brings a slightly pleasurable sensation even if it is a symptom for something wrong in your system? i never really heard of anyone complain that sneezing is unpleasant. as a matter of fact, some even try to induce it by sticking up a twirled corner of tissue paper up the nostril only to use the same tissue to cover the mouth when the sneeze comes out. i do that, stupid isn't it? and as i am stupid enough to be thinking about these things, maybe i should start fearing for my mind. or maybe i should just think about war.
