How my mind works

If you have that chance (or that burden) of following me on Twitter, you’ll know and realize that I’ve made a pun or two, over the years.  Until last Friday, these puns were mostly written. Last Friday, the pun-making machine that is I erupted in real life. It was then that Kira Hawke (https://twitter.com/kira_hawke), with whom I was spending some quality time, asked me a question:  “how does your mind work?”

That question triggered an elaborate answer, which I thought of repeating here, for those of you who weren’t there.  And when I say elaborate, I mean it.  I must’ve taken at least a few minutes to reply.  On a simple question.  I can’t imagine how I’ll reply when asked “do you take this person to be your lawful burden?” or when the wife will get on one knee and asked “will you marry me?”.

That being said, are you ready to dive into the abyss of my mind?  No?  Well, I don’t blame you.  I’m not, either.  I think the only person who may be ready for that sort of ordeal is my therapist.  They also dove in my financials, but that is another matter.

Here’s how it works.  I’d hear words or see an image and, within a split second (two seconds, if coffee/tea has not been consumed, yet), I already have an answer ready.  Yet, it may seem that within that short time frame, that answer comes out of thin air.  That is far from the truth.  My reply is, more often than knot, the result of a vigorous self-assessment, as to the quality of the joke and the level of link it may or may not have with the original content, that was posted.  If my inner self gives me the green light, the tweet sees the light of day.

At this point, you may ask yourself:  “where is he going, with this?” and wonder if clicking on my blog’s link was not such a good idea, after all.  You still can leave me.  I won’t mind, if you do.  Enjoy the mundane of life, reader!

For the two of you who stayed here and kept on reading my blabber, let me say two things.  First, thank you! (and also: why?). Second of all, the second part of my “analysis” on that weird machine that is I. I also had that chance or that misfortune of writing tweets that were filled with puns, wordplay and other shenanigans.  I use the same process as the one I’ve illustrated, earlier. Sometimes, they tend to get as much attention as a grain of sand in the desert and some other times, they get some traction.  That’s life. People sometimes don’t want to see wit, in their timelines.  I can’t change that and, even if I could change it, I don’t think I will lift a finger to change such a winning formula.

I could go on and on about myself and the theoretical aspect of my creation.  The thing is that I have got nothing to add, to the equation.  Thank you for reading this post and I hope you can either appreciate who I am or write puns, for your own pleasure.
