Out of the gate, late.

I chose 'memory orgasm' because something funny happens to us when we remember. I couldn't think of something...oh yeah, it was a movie with that one guy...oh yeah, Bill Murry. It had to do with him being a mental patient. I had some other clues in my mind like a doctor, and him being on t.v., then Bill Murry drove the doctor insane. Forever, I thought. 'WHAT ABOUT BOB?'! I remembered. It felt good. My endorphins were playing like happy dolphins inside my head. Sex is still better.

So, I examined that sensation. Why did it feel so good to remember something so stupid? There's a scientific reason, I'm sure, but scientific reasoning always kill the mood, ya know.

Same thing with tests. You can stare at the same stupid question for 10 minutes...BOOM. You remember. The dolphins start playing and not because you're gonna get your two points, but because you remembered.

However, memory sucks. Memory can cause pain, for years. I can remember bad things from my life, and the dolphins don't play anymore and my mind is an empty sea. I can hear them cry.

Memory is dangerously wonderful. We should be careful with these exercises. Pick 50 happy things.
