Brian

Have any of you ever not known how to spell a simple word that 2 minutes ago you could have? I was sitting down today thinking of how to spell a word, a simple two syllable word. I sometimes think of a word too hard and double guess myself or focus on the punctuation too deep.

I knew there was something wrong when even the almighty spell-check didn’t even know what I was saying. I sat, thinking. How can I not spell this word…I can say it, I can visually see what it is, an 8 year old could spell it.

Five minutes go by. I have already bitten off 3 nails and hit my keyboard thinking of this word that will be the death of me. “Tollar”, nope. How can I not spell this little word! I will not look it up, I am smarter than this. “Tallar”…fuck you I say to my brain and I start to sweat thinking that this mystery will never be solved. I yell to my roommate the word and ask him how to spell it. He laughs and I slam the door and start to pace. Is this possible? Will my brain ever snap out of this world of thought?

This word is even in one of my favorite movies, I can see the cover, there’s Aragon, Saruman, Froto, Gandalf…how do you spell that word!? I should see it but its not there. “Tohller”…nope.

Wait, hold on. I tell my mind to stop right there at this new thought that struck my head like a smack to the back of my head. I am thinking of ‘Twin’ and ‘Two’ before the word. I am seeing two, or twin, ‘l’s. This is incorrect. Your trying to fool me aren’t you Brian the Brain? “Towar”…close. TOWERS! I yell it at my Family Guy poster in my room.

I hate Brian sometimes.
