[QUOTE="Torm, post: 1999496, member: 12706"] Actually, this is true - I was in a wreck when I was 15 that resulted in some pretty nasty damage when my head left an impression in the back sliding door of an older Chevy van. I suffered an estimated 25-30% of what they call "Total Person Damage", and my doctors said anyone else they had ever seen with damage like I had spent the rest of their lives hospitalized in a vegetative state. Fortunately, I was intelligent beyond their ability to properly measure (their words, not mine) and apparently stored information in multiple patterns, so I had a sort of built in redundancy that most people wouldn't. I spent quite a while after the wreck having memory problems, including occasional bouts of temporary regressive amnesia, most of which I had worked out within about a year. But I still have very rare times when I will kind of freeze up, because I will recover a memory that I haven't been able to since the wreck and it seems as vivid as living through whatever it is, again. (It is a good thing my cerebellum is an excellent driver. :heh: ) And, (and you'll probably laugh and call BS at this point, but it is all true) I have a very strange lingering problem - ANY time I remember ANYTHING that ever happened at a Wal-Mart from before the wreck, my memory always places that Wal-Mart in Springfield, MO, even if that is completely impossible. A brief mental review of what stores were around that Wal-Mart and where THAT stuff was usually clears it up. But, going back and listening to mix tapes I made before the wreck, I really don't think it has much to do with my taste in music. And I've already seen several doctors. But thanks for your concern, and amazingly accurate over-the-net diagnosis. :p I didn't put it at #20 because it is just [B]the most awesome thing evar[/B], I put it there as I thought it compared to other non-indie-and-had-a-snowball's-chance-of-charting stuff released in 2004. The original is the one that is on a CD in my car as I type this. ;) [/QUOTE]
