Brainy Smurf.

First off, Smurf wasn't a word that MS Word recognizes; well I fixed that on my computer. I am not sure what bothers me more, the fact that I spelled it wrong in the first place, or that I added it to my personal dictionary so that the next time I use Smurf in a written document it will automatically be corrected to the proper spelling.

Anyhow, everyone has a conscience. I just happen to have long conversations with mine. The other thing about me, and I think most people are the same, and that is that my inner mind takes on different personas. I can hear my dad telling me not to touch something, or my wife yelling at me to quit messing around. Or even my boss telling asking me "Does that add value".

Well, a few weeks ago I walked into my bedroom and was surprised to find Steph watching "the Smurfs". She then said, I had to put something on for Shea to keep him entertained. I got the feeling that she was telling me this so I wouldn't think less of her, or maybe she was embarrassed that she was caught with Cartoons on. I meanwhile was thinking, Oh Smurf, I need to set my TiVo to record this.

Well, I didn't set the TiVo. In fact when I remembered to, it was too late and the Smurfy Christmas was no longer running.

Well, the reason for this rant is this.

Ever sense that approximately 30 seconds of my life when I was exposed to the Smurfs, I have been saying things like

"Smurfy",

or "Smurf" or I even caught myself saying "Oh Smurf" the other day.

But the worst part is, that my conscious mind has taken to saying, in that Brainy Smurf voice, "I always said this would happen".

The thing is, if Brainy Smurf doesn't get the Smurf out of my head, I think I will Smurf myself. And I do not mean Smurf myself in that way, I mean Smurf myself in a bad way.

Well, Microsoft word now corrects my spelling of Smurf, I am sure I will still hear Brainy Smurf in my head, and life will continue. Oh well.
