Top 5 Evidences You Are Experiencing Cognitive Overload During Finals Week

#5. Time flies by in moments.
  • A question you think you only took 15-minutes to complete, really took you AN HOUR!
  • You're doing homework and suddenly, it's 5am!
  • You're 5-minute-alarm-clock-snooze magically turns into 2 hours and you literally don't know how.


#4. You're mentally space out (resembling a zombie more than a living, functioning person).
  • You bake cornbread muffins, but instead of turning the oven knob to BAKE, you absent-mindedly turn the knob to BROIL and proceed to fill your domicile with smoke and sadness.
  • You sleep in two-hour spurts whenever they are available.  (Noon-time? No problem.)
  • You try to open your car without your keys and can't figure out why it won't open. (#notsafetodrive)


#3. Your body physically degrades and you lose spacial awareness.
  • The blistering white screen of a word processor starts to burn your eyes, like a vampire exposed to daylight.
  • You bonk your head on things as you bob and weave down the hallway, like pirate on shore leave.
  • You miss the center of the seat when you sit down in chairs.
  • While looking at something, your vision starts to dim to black even though your eyes are still wide open.  (I think that means you're starting to pass out...)


#2.  Details begin to drop out of memory.
  • Simple things like, whether or not you slept last night.
  • What the day is.  (The correct answer is alway: Finalsday)
  • If you ate in the last 24 hours.
  • The year when heading an assignment.


#1. You have no game with the opposite gender. None. (Everything you think is smooth, is just creepy.)

(P.s. I have one more final left to finish.  Please keep me in your prayers.)

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
