Welcome to yoonamania where I put down the nonsense that pops up in my head from time to time. Please do not expect to make any sense out of my blatherings. It's called nonsense for a reason. Nor should you expect to enjoy any good writing. My English sucks moose ass. But I don't really care since I'm sure your Korean isn't any better. Please try to keep your expectations low and just chill like potatoes... or beets... or parsnips. Oh and yeah, don't take it seriously unless you think I think you must.

Yours truly, etc. yoonamaniac

Today’s commute reminded me of something I saw some time ago.

I was driving to work on the leftmost non-HOV lane. Up ahead there was this car driving on the HOV lane, with no other cars visible in its front for as far as I could see, but cars behind it were just driving bumper to bumper. The drivers of these cars trailing the apparent leader of this group were getting so visibly impatient, I could just feel their frustration. Feeling smug, I casually drove past all these potential road rage cases and went on my merry way.

Now let me ask you something. If you are going to insist on driving slow enough to create a traffic jam behind you on the fastest lane on the highway, would you have your license plate customized to read “GIFTED”?

One of those moments

Today, I experienced one of those moments. You know those moments in which you look at something you see every single day, which you never think about why or whatsoever about, and suddenly one day you see the said something and go HUH? You know what I’m talking about.

I was looking for something in my usually bottomless pit of a coat pocket, where I can never find anything. I took the keys out to make it easier for my hand to maneuver, and that moment came.

Why do I have so many keys? I forgot everything about why I took the keys out in the first place and was utterly mesmerized by my keys. And then I started examining each of them except three I use daily – one car key and two house keys. I recognized a key to my file cabinet at home and six store member cards – 2 Walbaum’s, 2 Stop&Shop, 1 Pathmark, 1 Petco, 1 Pet Supplies Plus. Why do I carry two of the same cards on the same keychain? Well, where do you suggest I put the second one then?

That leaves me with 9 keys that I don’t recognize. One of those could be for another file cabinet at home. So I’m left with 8 keys. No, it doesn’t look like I carry two of any key, I compared each of them. And for hours, I’ve been trying to think of something that I might need a key for, and I have nothing. I don’t even remember putting all these keys on my keychain. A uniquely shaped one in particular even looked very strange as if I just saw it for the first time. But do I dare toss them out? Do I?

I knew the answer even before I asked myself the question. You did, too, right? So after spending so much time on my keychain mystery, I gained nothing…. Not only that, I’m writing a friggin blog about it. Why? Not a clue.
