Mind Against Body

Hello I guess you are wondering what this is about. It’s about me…. Well what I think is me anyways. You see all my life I had control over a body that contains me. Hold on, I can’t keep saying me all the time so I do suppose I…. No, never mind, that would be to confusing. Anyways, the body I control is not very smart at all. I’ve stored a lot of information for it, but does it remember? NO! I, little ole me, who’s only the size of my body’s (well I hope its mine), fist’s put together has to tell the nerves, the five senses, the numerous bones, muscles, tendons, vital organ’s and what ever else, what, when and how, can you believe it how to do something. It really gets confusing even for me at times. What I don’t understand is why they, being the other body parts get a break when I don’t? Sure at night when you go to sleep you might say. My response to you is you try it. I take a break and oops you forget to breathe or your heart forgets to beat. Now that wouldn’t be good now would it? If you haven’t guessed it yet I’m a brain; Yes that’s right a brain, control center for your entire body kinda freaky hu? Ever wondered what your brain is thinking well here ya go… well least from my view point anyways. 1

All day I am made to recall information from years ago. Now the events that go along with the information can be funny like let’s say one of my all time favorite teachers in English Mr. Georke jumping up onto his desk as he describes what a verb is. Yes he actually did this surprisingly enough. What his brain was thinking I don’t know but apparently his body didn’t listen and did it anyways. Or another of my favorite teachers Miss Jatana, be sure to pronounce it properly (hatana) she hates it. Rather funny really. Her face takes on inhumane characteristics quite often as she pounded in the ways to deal with factors, no no no not literally but almost. 2

Other events I remember are rather boring but I can’t forget them no matter how hard I try. Simply because it was beat into me well droned in anyways. If you’re a teacher reading this, sorry but it is rather quite annoying; I mean If we don’t get it the first 50 times we’re not going to sorry. Anyways back to the subject at hand. Mr. Sigfussion, he was the worst for this even when it was something that us brain’s would get excited over he would drone on and on and you guessed it on about the digestive system or the brain’s nervous system in the same monotone and mannerisms. Then there was Mr. Campbell and his morning first explorer’s test, same question’s day to day, even gave the answer out in riddles, you would have to be a complete moron not to get 100 percent eventually. Sadly it took me a few days to catch on to his game and get them all right. I was so Happy when I finally and I do mean finally got all 50 answers right I almost leapt out of my skull for joy.I mean who gives you a test first thing in the morning its just not fair I tell you. 3

I look back through the grey and the mist and remember other things. Some are happy others are sad. One, I remember is playing over on Jubilee at my grandparents’. That body was so stupid. Do you know what it did? No of course not; you weren’t there well let me tell you. The blasted thing decided to run outside of all places in shorts and a t-shirt to play in the snow. Not so bad you might say? Well maybe not, but at -30 it’s rather cold if I do say so my self. Either way it wouldn’t listen even though I kept telling it “Go inside, it’s cold out here….” After no response from the body I finally barked “do you want to freeze?” that got a response. Finally! It ran all the way into the door, yes into the door before opening it, up the stairs and into the tub to thaw out. Now that was a fast reaction. Too bad I don’t get results like that all the time. I’ve told it over and over to watch where its going that's what your eyes are for after all. This is another thing it still to this day refuses to listen to. You would think that after running into parked cars, tree’s, parking barricades, lamp posts, various other things including people that it would have noticed by now that hey that hurts! 4

Although this body doesn’t seem to listen I do suppose that I must put up with it. I really don’t see myself getting a transplant anytime soon. So as the body’s life goes on so does mine. Repeating myself over and over till I’m blue in the hemisphere. Anyways now that you bodies know what you put us brains through in the course of a day, yes just one day. Maybe you could give us a break sometime, like you know, listening to us once in a while. Despite what you may think, we do know what’s best. Lets face it we have been telling you what to do all your life. 5
