Better Than Secondhand Smoke!
And that's it.
That's all there was saved in draft, just the title.
I'm pretty sure it had nothing to do with actual smoking; possibly chocolate, but that's not too good either, what with the caloric intake and all. Chocolate is only good for you when you eat the expensive, decadent, dark variety in itsy-bitsy amounts. I grew up on Hershey's; not a lot of redemption value in those nutritional facts.
But really, what's the point in taking notes if you have no idea what they are relating to? Could I just not be bothered with an extra 30-60 seconds of typing in order to complete the train of thought?
3 weeks from now, when I'm jarred awake with remembering, I'll gleefully reach for pen and paper.
Of course I won't be able to decipher my dead-of-night handwriting, but at least I'll have made the effort.

LOL- I do the same thing....
I've scribbled down a main idea and will think "OH MY GOD_ There's no way I will forget this for the blog- It's BRILLIANT!!"
And then thirty minutes later I sit down at the computer and what do I remember about that brilliant main idea? Just that- how good the logic was behind it........if only I could REMEMBER the brilliant logic.
Dammitt.
Sometimes that can be a good thing. I have written stuff down and thought about what I wanted to say about it and when I come back a couple of days later thought of a completely different direction to go with it.
i take notes--
then my notes look/sound/seem like shit when i find them years later . . .
I solved world hunger once, thanks to an enlightening dream. I woke up at 3am, jotted a note, and went back to sleep.
In the morning, the note was jibberish.
Don't you HATE it when a good idea goes *poof*? Back in the day, when I smoked tons, of the ganja, that used to happen to me all the time, and I'd get horribly frustrated. Now, I've learned not to get to uptight about it.
I wouldn't worry too much.
I've had 'great' ideas at 3am, wrote them down (in a form that will be legible later).
The next day, I've read over it and thought "How did I ever think this was interesting?"
It's strange, because it's the blogs I don't think about, and just stare at the blinking cursor until something pops into my head that tend to be most popular.
