Memorization

Memorization is hard.

That's right, little bits of insight like that are why you come to this blog.

I always think of memory as kind of like a cup.  You can only fill it with so much before it starts to spill over.  So you have to pour a little out to fit anything else in there.  For example:

Now that's science.

So anyway, I'm trying to memorize a poem and I'm wondering what piece of information (read: porn website) I'll be forgetting.  It's good to think of things this way.  Because you figure that if you pour out enough, eventually it'll be something you have no business remembering anyway.  Like the names people called you in high school.  Or how you were the one that recommended everyone drink bourbon straight that night.

That's why I'm in favor of learning.
